New Age Transformation
New Age Transformation is an incubation center created inside a former factory building in Beijing, China. The 1600 square meter space occupies Plant No. 8 in an old warehouse storage park. The original character is preserved, with red brick walls kept and ceiling structures left exposed. Minimal decorative materials are used. The concept of architecture within architecture introduces three-dimensional thinking and multilevel extensions to the large hall. Glass curtains add transparency. Cafes, restaurants, libraries and shared offices support new technology and culture businesses.
New Age Transformation Incubation Center by Li Yu Chen was recognized as an exceptional illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Award. New Age Transformation Incubation Center received the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2021. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, meritocratic, just and fair design recognition program that honors superior design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
