A prototypical sales gallery and experience center is designed to be implemented for residential development projects throughout China. As the first structure of the development to be completed on-site, the sales gallery will be repurposed to be a part of the community facility after the sales period, unlike the conventional sales gallery that would eventually be demolished.
The anodized aluminium skin is strategically designed to be assembled by four different types of modules. The modular system allows repetition to fit various building sizes and to ensure standardization of sales gallery design, with a minor customization. This prototyping system allows the developer to construct the permanent sales gallery in the same timeframe as the temporary structure.
The project is a permanent sales gallery prototype design to be implemented to several of the residential developments in different Chinese cities. Client wanted to convey the future of housing where life is empowered by technology.

The anodized aluminium façade is assembled with four different types of modules. The modular system allows repetition to fit various building sizes and to ensure standardization of sales gallery design, with a minor customization. This prototyping system allows the developer to construct the permanent sales gallery in the same timeframe as the temporary structure. It is also our hack to achieve quality, cost and time for a permanent structure.
