Practice Ideology

Established in 2010 and based in 798 Art Zone, Beijing, ARCHSTUDIO advocates maintaining a harmonious balance among humans, nature, history, and commerce in design practices, pursues the essence and true way of design, controls the whole process from concept to construction, and strives to create quality and emotional spatial environment that is based on the contemporary era and embraces future.

Space is an aggregation of various relationships. During design practices, ARCHSTUDIO insists on the principle of “design of relationships,” analyzes reality of uncertainties, and coordinates relations between the large and small, exterior and interior, the new and old, the artificial and natural, etc. Besides, it works to create forms according to physical objects, produce spatial ambiance for the mind, evoke interaction between the space and physical behaviors and enable infinite space perception, thereby enhancing the space’s spirit and experiences.
