The arc-shaped corner of a frontage building is reserved as a symbol of Art Deco, however blocked by border trees along Yongjia Road.
The design focuses on vertical as a way of breakthrough. The building No. 5 with an irregular facade becomes the landmark.
Now, a commercial, art gallery, office and F&B destination, it is a good example of how through design, reutilizing a former industrial area not only can become a public space that brings people together, but can also have the ability to rejuvenate its surroundings generating a new lifestyle for the community.
