Qing Zhu Lake
QingZhu Lake is a sales center in ChangSha that also serves as a small library. The interior covers 1200 square meters and is finished with marble, glass and wood flooring. Surfaces are shaped to recall the pages of an open book. The quiet setting invites visitors to read and to return to printed books, as many young readers now prefer electronic ones. The intent is to give the building value beyond its basic sales function. The calm reading atmosphere is meant to encourage reflection and to leave a lasting memory.
Qing Zhu Lake Sales Center by WenLi Wu was identified as a grand representation of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Qing Zhu Lake Sales Center received the Golden A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2020. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design competition that honors outstanding design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
