Headquarters of Hangzhou Xinsheng Group

Fuyang paper is legendary: whenever paper is discussed, Fuyang paper is mentioned. Papermaking, one of China's four great inventions, traces its riverside craft in Fuyang to the Southern Song, and the Sizhou paper-making site is the oldest and most complete ancient papermaking ruin discovered in China. Xinshengda Group sits by the Fuchun River in this paper-making homeland. The interior design takes paper folds as its thread, integrating architectural technique into the interior to shape a space as simple and pure as a blank sheet, rejecting excessive decoration while conveying an environmental design attitude. Paper is highly plastic and textured, and its sustainability is the best expression of ecological design. Structural devices give the space fullness and modernity, and the layered structure embodies Slow Coral's concept of breaking boundaries and fixed space. The space aims for cleanliness and stillness, narrating the natural story through time and revealing the most original state, guiding visitors to shed fatigue and return to their original heart. Emptiness is not nothing: at its extreme, space is sparse but not void, full but not overflowing, and within a small corner one can feel the breadth of the world. On a minimalist base, openness, light, and material are the whole design; white is not emptiness but a focus. Walls and structures derived from paper folds add ways of thinking and extreme visual perception. Light is the soul of architecture, and the building a container for light: the design blocks out noisy neighboring structures and filters excess sun to produce natural light suitable for reception. Pure white extends the space, and natural light penetrates glass, casting geometric dapples that echo structural lines. Between folds, where virtual and real meet, lies contemporary and eternal meaning, elegant without flamboyance, simple yet soulful. The 3,000-square-meter headquarters, completed in 2022, uses flexible structure to discard cumbersome life and maintain a relaxed, calm state.
