Heyi office / DPAA Design

"The project is situated within a garment-focused industrial park in Guangzhou, where the primary activities encompass office operations and production. The original structure is a three-story, cube-shaped building with a frame system-consistent with most structures in the park, it abuts the main thoroughfare directly, enclosed on all sides, and presents an almost collisional interface with the street front, lacking any form of buffer zone."

"Text description provided by the architects. The design brief calls for the transformation of this cubic building into a garment design office capable of accommodating approximately 100 occupants. The high occupancy density, combined with the inherently strong functional attributes of the office typology, introduces a pronounced sense of spatial density to the site. Against the backdrop of prioritizing functional requirements, the design process is initiated."

The project is located in a garment-focused industrial park in Guangzhou where office operations and production predominate. The existing building is a three-story, cube-shaped frame structure similar to surrounding buildings and sits directly on the main thoroughfare with no buffer and enclosed on all sides. The brief requires converting the cubic building into a garment design office for approximately 100 occupants. High occupancy and strong office functional demands create pronounced spatial density on the site. The design process prioritizes functional requirements while reconciling circulation, daylight, and the building's direct street interface.
