Hongzhou Academy is a sales center located in the central area of Nanchang County, China. The building holds spaces for negotiation, handwork, children's activities and display. Two blocks face the urban roads at an intersection, and their offset position forms the entrance square. The design refers to ancient Chinese architecture. Aluminium sheets are joined with buckles, creating a brick-like texture on the facade. A smooth curved surface outlines the roof and recalls traditional eaves. Large glass areas and a high atrium give the interior an open and comfortable character.
