CasaCasa Sales Office

Dayun designed this sales office for a new housing development.

Its two storeys contain the sales office, administrative offices, lounge and cafe areas. On the upper level an open terrace gives access to gallery space and a roof garden.

While overall form is rectilinear, the main elevation is intersected by an arched concrete shell structure with perforated alloy louvre, while on the reverse side an irregular array of variously proportioned windows break up the largest section of wall and provide light to corridors and stairwells on the interior.

Paras Cafe

Located in the Hongqiao Vanke Center in Shanghai, the Paras Cafe caters to the staff of nearby businesses and local residents.

Finished in blue and white the design primarily uses ceramic tiles, metal mesh and plain concrete with a single use of marble for the service counter.

Judiciously hung circular wall mirrors along with the perspective-bending illusions of the grid patterned white tile walls subtly help to create the sense of a large and varied space, which alloy mesh boxes above the service counter and central table area further help to define and divide.
