Our design for a new mixed-use creative development is located in the heart of Dalian in close proximity to university campuses and software parks. The existing compound is comprised of 6 buildings dating back 40 years. Our design challenge was to find an architectural language that could unify the buildings which has varying heights and distinct facades which have undergone previous renovation efforts. The most prominent building within the site is a former dormitory featuring a series of wooden gates and garage stalls used for repairs in the past.
