The site is located at West Jianguo Road, Xuhui District in Shanghai. The design content of the 50-sqm shop includes both façade and interior renovation. For the façade, rather than practicing with a conventional method, our design chooses to leave the space completely open by creating a small courtyard around a U-shaped glass box. The beautifully curved glass door that can be fully opened and the floor texture extending from the exterior work together to merge the indoor and outdoor space into a whole to the greatest extent, and to leave the inner and outer space blurred.
