Background
Next to Hongqiao Airport, the Sky SOHO leasing showroom resides in the world-
renowned Zaha Hadid Architect’s sole masterpiece in Shanghai. The project is also
considered the iconic development of SOHO China in the city. The total GFA of the Sky
SOHO is 350,000 square meters and expected to finish in 2014.
With an area of 350 square meters, the leasing showroom is residing within the second
floor overlooking the south entrance of the development. Taking into consideration of
the dynamic and fluid form of the architecture, the showroom interior and its auxiliary
amenities are designed with compatible architectural language which enhances the
experience of the formal vistas of the forthcoming buildings.
Project Description
This project composes of three distinct elements: the VIP corridor, showroom interior,
and interior furniture. The composition of these elements symphonize into a seamless
and integral spatial experience, from exterior to interior, from visual to corporeal. The
VIP corridor receives guests from the drop-off zone on the ground level providing a
covered walkway towards the main building. Elevated to the second level, the
showroom situates next to the elevator lobby accelerating the visitors to a realm of
unparallel spatial experience.
