Located in Jiading District of Shanghai along Jinghu Highway, the project is a renovation and regeneration of a series of decommissioned industrial factories and annexes from the 1990's. The design adopts the idea of “unglazed fragments of porcelain” to generate the formal language of the façade intervention as well as the interior spaces. Preserving the structure and the relationship with the site, the design brings a creative atmosphere and new types of programs by adding steel structures within the original industrial spaces. The large volume of enclosed and deep factory spaces is opened up by a newly inserted landscape corridor with a glass canopy to connect the front and back sides of the site, maximizing the usage of interior spaces for people and businesses.

TOWOdesign created an exhibition space for 2018 Design Dream Show (DDS) in Shanghai. DDS is a cluster exhibition that leads the design trend in the furniture industry, with 23 exhibitors taking part in the event in 2018. Considering the common goal of general exhibition spaces, which is to provoke people's deep thinking about the whole industry through designs, this project focused on fairness of visual display for each participating exhibitor, as well as the coordination between the overall thematic image of the exhibition and individuality of the 23 exhibitors. If the image of the whole exhibition was too strong, it would weaken the characteristics of exhibitors, while on the contrary, if the individuality of each exhibitor's booth was too conspicuous, it would cause visual clutter and fail to convey the theme of the whole exhibition.

It tries to represent products and technologies, involved to create extremely advanced and innovative packaging systems, that outline Bologna district worldwide known as the “packaging valley”. The module, with its infinite mash-up as structure, and the cardboard, with its layers and sides as material, are the generative, spatial, architectural and aesthetic elements of the project.
Wu Guanzhen, an emerging artist from China, welcomes the first stop of his 2018-2019 Asian exhibition tour in Beijing Today Art Museum. The building combines industrial heritage with modern design, allowing the artworks to be displayed through a unique aesthetic expression.
In a pure white-toned atmosphere, elaborately arranged lighting hightlights Wu’s 5 series of works, including Weaving Recall, Dunhuang Scroll, Mountain Plan, Daydreaming Land and Microscopic Nature. These works witness his careful interpretation of traditional materials like lacquer and ramie, and also reflect the artist's inner insistence on natural materials and traditional craftsmanship.

The building has gone under both structural and architectural renovation that require the redesigning of the entire interior and the façade.
As for this project, the client have requested us to come up with a design that would turn this space to be more than just a normal “Café”. This place shall be more flexible and capable to hold many functions such as, a corporate meeting point, a chillax place, a place for an exhibition event where people come and exchanging their knowledge.
Moreover, it could become a destination for someone who would wish to restore their health and mind with freshly cooked food that is originated from the café’s own recipe.
In the concrete jungle of Hong Kong, the new campus of the French International School stands as a vibrant green oasis in the dense city. 1100 pupils now enjoy a colorful, collaborative multicultural learning space, setting the scene for the working environment of tomorrow.
Just above street level in Hong Kong’s Tseung Kwan O district, sunlight meets the kaleidoscopic façade of the new French International School campus, spilling into the building through windows laid across a grid of 627 multicolored tiles. From the street, this colorful façade draws the eye to the institution’s new primary and secondary school – A vibrant, sustainable environment supporting a world-class multicultural education.
The project is located at the B2 Floor, Beijing Fun, Beijing Municipality, covering an area of 240 square meters. The client Teawith hopes to create a special fair space for the “New Craftsmen”, where the craftsmen can share their products and various lifestyles. From their points of view, pink is a kind of “free” color which has no labels, has nothing to do with age and is gender-neutral.
Based on this consideration, the architects divide the pink fair into two regions, the cloister-style exhibition area, nesting in center sharing area.
