Nestled on historic Wukang Road, a 1930s heritage garden house has been transformed into the flagship store of emerging fashion brand XiaoZhuo. Surrounded by lush greenery and marked by distinct seasonal changes, the space now embodies XiaoZhuo’s crisp brand identity—celebrating creativity, curiosity, and playfulness—while offering visitors guidance and relaxation beyond mere shopping.
In February 2026, the “Echo of the ruins” Sound Museum was completed in Qingshuitan—this old industrial area which had lain silent for years. Free from the white cubes and glass display cases of traditional exhibition space. Instead, it is a structure that grows directly from the ruins. An open-air Museum built from every discarded brick and tile of the old factory buildings. It is an urban public space open to all, a place where people can enter, listen, and share their stories.
This project involved the reconstruction of a dilapidated building located in Guangzhou’s old town along Tongfu Xi Road, a historic street established in 1926. Once vibrant, this area has suffered from significant neglect over the years, with many buildings falling into disrepair, creating safety hazards that forced both residents and businesses to leave. As the street’s vitality faded, so did its cultural and commercial appeal.
A pair of steel-structured pavilions located in a valley overlooking the ocean in Ningbo, Zhejiang, China. The brief called for the revitalization and expansion of an underutilized viewing deck. Responding to both programmatic needs and the existing typology, the design deconstructs the original gable-roof form into two distinct single-pitch volumes.
Located within the renovated commercial complex Temple Lane in Chengdu, Spring Patio is a Yunnan restaurant and bar designed by amass. The project explores how new spatial elements can grow lightly beneath the preserved structural framework of an existing building. The design strategy focuses on retaining and revealing the original structure. Exposed brick, concrete and structural elements remain visible, while the interior intervention is conceived as a light layer—almost like a sketch drawn over the existing architecture. Contemporary functions are inserted with restraint, and readily available industrial materials are widely used to establish a dialogue between new and existing elements.
The Haining Nature Exhibition Center is a comprehensive public building within the Haining International Flower Industry Park. It can serve as an experience hall for organizing agricultural exhibitions in the park, as well as undertaking industrial docking activities and other functions. It can become a cultural and artistic center for the future development of the surrounding area. The Natural Art Exhibition Center, as a venue for various industrial activities, information exchange conferences, and cultural and artistic exhibitions, is not only an important space for showcasing the achievements of rural industrial revitalization, but also a combination of pastoral art and life culture.
An Individual, a Content Creator, a Brand Founder, a Mother……When all these identities converge within a single space, this office is asked to hold far more than just “going to work.” Because the client’s work as a content creator is closely intertwined with her private life, the frequent shifting between roles gives the workplace an uneven rhythm. milanesi|paiusco set out to satisfy the needs of these multiple identities, creating a small world where good mood and inspiration can coexist.
Rural construction is mostly spontaneous, giving rise to a rich diversity of built forms. Within this organic complexity, our strategy is not to assert ourselves through contrast, but to inhabit the context with quiet modesty. “We hope this house will help the children remember where their hometown is.” This heartfelt wish shared by our client Ms. Zhang. Having left their hometown for Guangzhou at a young age, her family rarely returns. This renovation of their ancestral home aims to improve living comfort and create better conditions for family reunions—offering the next generation a tangible connection to their roots. Since the house is not for daily use, the design also prioritizes low maintenance and cost control.
Tea terraces cascade toward the horizon, threaded with drifting mist — the Floating Pavilion sits at the summit of a terraced tea mountain in Songyang County, Zhejiang Province, China, some five hundred meters above sea level. A slender white form hovers above the fields on minimal supports, as if a thin wing had just been lifted by the wind. “Floating” describes both a structural condition — a thin roof suspended above the ground — and a quality of time in this place, where mist drifts, light shifts, and one pauses briefly on the mountain, as in a fleeting moment of respite.
