Anhui Art Museum

Anhui Art Museum is one of my favourite interior design project, not only because we won an award of China Interior Design Award (CIID ) 2014, but also because I really enjoyed the process of making traditional and modern elements into a perfect union.To get a better understanding of the culture of Anhui, I went to Huangshan, Xidi and Hongcun with our team to observe and experience the life style of local people and took a closer look at the Hui Architecture which is one of the most famous architecture style in the Chinese history. The overall area of the museum is around 50,000 sqm and I got the opportunity to design its public space including Entrance Hall, Opening Ceremony Hall, Open Exhibition Halls and other communal areas (around 10,000 sqm). After 8 months’ hard work we won the bid of this project, and in the same year we got an award from China Interior Design Award (CIID) 2014 - K Category Cultural Inheritance .

In Dec 2020, I got the site photos of the museum from my previous colleague, It took 6 years to see this outcome, I was very excited when I saw these photos, and they are the best Christmas gift of 2020. I can't wait to visit it once it opens to the public.
