Nanjing K.Wah G72 is expected to be one of the most expansive mixed-use developments in the Chinese city. UNStudio was commissioned by the developer K.Wah Group to create a human-centric destination where sustainability and culture play a key role in the daily lives of locals and visitors alike.
UNStudio’s proposed design concept envisions a dynamic waterfront community, a low-density and lush green working-living environment, which is expected to add new vibrancy to Nanjing, while contributing as a hub for culture, finance and innovation.

Hidden in Nanjing community area, a Japanese grocery-style bakery is designed to provide customers with a sweet shopping experience like candy.
For consumers who are mainly women and children in the community, the overall color of the store is bright, relaxed, clean, comfortable and warm. The overall face of bakery shop is transparent with clear windows setting to maximize direct sunlight. As the focal point, the door is 2.8m high x 1.5m wide. Round circle window in the door makes contract with sided square windows while supplying pictures from both sides towards the other. The spacious and bright folding window naturally connects the indoor with the outdoor space. One-meter-wide window sills on the inner and outer sides can provide customers with rest and waiting seats. While inside of the other window, a tiered counter is displaying the latest bakery products for customers outside of the store for window shopping. Three stone seats and L-shaped lounge on wooden boards and permeable stones flooring shorten the distance between the store and the neighborhoods, and provide customers with a variety of leisure space.

Nowadays it is becoming more commercialised and globalised, the inheritance and representation of national culture is the search for “Self Identity” for each region, each ethnic group and each individual, and is the questioning and perception of “Where do I come from” and “Where am I living”. — Mr. Yang Bangsheng
On the side of Fangshan scenic spot in Nanjing, Fangshan campus of Nanjing Foreign Language School stands quietly, wrapped in red bricks and adjacent to Nanguang College in the south and California city community in the north.

Although it has been put into use for a short period of time, it has aroused unusual attentions.
The project is a 29-square-meter pop-up salon, which is situated in a shopping mall in Nanjing, China. The shopping mall has been constructed for many years, which faced the need of upgrade and renovation. Three different types of stores, including a hair salon, a bookstore and an educational agency, converge along a passageway in it. Because of transformation and renovation of the shopping mall, a 29 m2 space was left in front of the hair salon. The owner of the hair salon wanted to “do something interesting” on this triangular space, with a view to enhancing its brand value as well as providing a resting & leisure space and attracting customers for the shopping mall.
The project, THÉ LATITUDE, is situated at Fuzimiao Walking Street, a renowned tourist spot in Nanjing, China.

Entrusted with the project, NA-DECO created an exotic atmosphere in the interior space, which breaks the stereotype of traditional Chinese tea stores, provides young people with more fashionable and elegant shopping experience and allows them to know about tea from all over the world in a more pleasant way.
