World Festival of Interiors Shortlist!

We are BEYOND EXCITED, PROUD and HAPPY to announce that our project- the Children’s Library at the Western academy of Beijing is a FINALIST at INSIDE/WORLD FESTIVAL OF INTERIORS 2024!

We will present our project at the World Festival of Architecture and Interiors event in Singapore in November, but this nomination alone is an amazing achievement for our small studio and a testament to a successful collaboration over the years with WAB and all the love we together put into this project.

Thank you to the entire team- from our studio to our long-term client at WAB, and all our partners on this project.

German School Internship & Workshop

Meet Aya May, Ayana and Sarah, 9th grade students at the German Embassy School in Beijing, who joined us for a two weeks internship at studio vapore in the last two weeks of May.

 

We gave them a small project to  complete over this short time, to re-design the entrance lobby of their school.

First step: brainstorming!

… and then heading to the school to interview the users.. what would they like for this space?

and now back to the studio to make a physical model of the space!!

starting with a few prototypes…

upgrading to a full professional model!

The team designed new furniture and elements for the students to meet in the lobby, a few corners for study reviews, and a house to climb to to relax! All inspired by the existing colour pallette.

We then asked them to make an official project presentation to studio vapore’ s team, Stefan Hoppel, the school vice-principal, and a few of the studio’s friends!

SUCCESS!!
Thank you Aya May, Ayana and Sarah, brilliant future designers for being with us!
