Explore A Helix Of Corridors In This Sculptural Sales Center In Shanghai<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

2024 Best of Year Winner for Sales Center<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wrapped in interwoven, ribbonlike GRC staircases that make the building appear as if in constant rotational motion, West Bund Orbit in Shanghai, an exhibition hall with exterior by Heatherwick Studio<\/a> and interiors by Wutopia Lab<\/a>, is unabashedly sculptural. The sense of movement continues inside, where behind a swooping CNC-carved marble wall that forms a sort of secondary facade\u2014a visual whirlwind set behind the curtain wall\u2014is the main events space, with a ceiling that soars to 32 feet. From here, a helix of corridors and multifunctional zones unscroll, inspired by the idea of a vortex. They terminate on the top level, where, under a domed skylight, model structures are displayed to would-be clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
