Excerpt: Vanke New City Center Sales Gallery is a commercial space designed by the architectural firm SPARK. Conceived as an abstracted reflection of railway track geometry, the structure is shaped by functional and conceptual considerations that importantly take advantage of the building’s location next to the busy railway station. The sales gallery is a testament to Vanke’s constant strive to redefine the levels of quality and experience afforded to the visitor, which is redolent of the characteristics of the new mixed-use city quarter designed by Spark, which is currently under construction.

Project Description

[Text as submitted by Architect] Spark’s recently completed sales gallery opened to prospective buyers this month. Located adjacent to Nanjing South Railway Station, the two-story building showcases the broad spectrum of residential and commercial space available for lease and purchase at Vanke’s SPARK-designed ambitious mixed-use development.

Folded façade surfaces and lines of light compose a continuum of fluent and dynamic space that mirrors the dynamism of the adjacent crossing train tracks. A large LED display faces the key location vantage points located deliberately to be seen by passing vehicles and railway traffic.

The exterior façade formed from two skins of perforated aluminum has a subtle Moiré surface and a markedly manufactured finish, which contradicts the interior’s natural finishes of the interior where the folded and perforated surfaces and organic finishes visibly converge.
