关于“万社”
About “Various”

我们对万社的解读就是“万千设计/社稷”，它代表着设计的多样性和力量。虽然每个设计可能看起来很小，但它们可以汇聚成巨大的影响力。

We interpret “万社” as “thousands of designs/society,” symbolizing the diversity and power of design. Although each design may seem small, together they can create a tremendous impact.

林倩怡：“Various”这一名字体现了我们对设计的理解——每一个项目的基础都有其独特的背景、文化和元素，且每个项目的DNA都不尽相同，设计方案不应该是单一的或一成不变的。因此，”Various”代表了我们信仰多样性，也代表了我们期望为每个项目提供与其背景和需求相符的独特解决方案。

“Various”被音译为中文名“万社”。这个名字不仅与我们的初衷相符，还蕴含了更深的意义。我们对万社的解读就是“万千设计/社稷”，它代表着设计的多样性和力量。虽然每个设计可能看起来很小，但它们可以汇聚成巨大的影响力。因此，我们认为设计不仅仅是追求美观，更是解决实际问题并能够影响大量人群的力量。这也是我们为公司取名为“万社 Various Associates”的原因。

Lin Qianyi: “Various” embodies our understanding of design—each project has its own unique background, culture, and elements, and every project’s DNA is different. Design solutions should not be singular or unchanging. Therefore, “Various” represents our belief in diversity and our commitment to providing unique solutions tailored to the background and needs of each project.

“Various” has been phonetically translated into Chinese as “Wan She” (万社). This name not only aligns with our original intention but also carries a deeper meaning. We interpret “Wan She” as “thousands of designs/society,” symbolizing the diversity and power of design. Although each design may seem small, together they can create a tremendous impact. Thus, we believe that design is not merely about aesthetics but also about solving real-world problems and influencing a large audience. This belief is why we named our company “Various Associates” (万社).

杨东子：我们两个人从大学到研究生阶段，一直都有密切的合作。我回国后，我们的合作愈加自然地展开，逐渐共同进行一些有趣的项目。我们的合作并非一蹴而就，而是建立在七年多的积累基础之上。

林倩怡：在公司内，我更偏向于扮演业主的角色。在深入了解业主需求后，我更多的是代表业主的立场来看待项目，判断我们的设计是否符合他们的方向，以及如何延展和完善这些需求。当项目的方向确认无误，符合业主要求时，我们就能确定一个可行的设计框架，而后，杨老师将会主导设计的具体实施。

杨东子：倩怡在工作中更偏向感性，注重自然与直觉的感知，而我则更加理性，注重落实具体的工作和细节。在概念阶段，我也会参与其中，与她共同讨论；而在项目的后期，倩怡同样会参与进来，与我一起讨论和完善设计。我们通过这样的合作方式，充分发挥各自的优势，互相补充，共同推动项目的顺利进行。

Yang Dongzi: From university to graduate school, the two of us have collaborated closely. After I returned to China, our cooperation naturally evolved, and we gradually undertook interesting projects together. Our partnership was not formed overnight but was built on more than seven years of accumulated experience.

Lin Qianyi: Within the company, I tend to take on the role of the client. After thoroughly understanding the client’s needs, I evaluate the project from their perspective, ensuring that our design aligns with their vision and exploring ways to refine and expand upon these needs. Once the project direction is confirmed and meets client expectations, we establish a feasible design framework. At that point, Mr. Yang takes the lead in the concrete implementation of the design.

Yang Dongzi: Qianyi approaches work more intuitively, focusing on nature and perception, whereas I am more rational, emphasizing execution and details. In the conceptual stage, I participate in discussions with her; in the later stages, she also joins me in reviewing and refining the design. This collaborative approach allows us to leverage our strengths, complement each other, and drive projects forward smoothly.

设计与时尚
Design and Fashion

我们希望作品能够“说话”，而这种表达并不依赖于复杂的文字介绍，而是通过作品的概念与内涵，让人直接感受到。

We hope our work can “speak” for itself. This expression does not rely on lengthy textual explanations but instead allows people to directly experience the concept and meaning through the design itself.

林倩怡：我和杨老师与时尚之间有着深厚的渊源，我们的工作环境也与时尚密切相关。美学和文化的汲取有许多相似之处，但将其转化为设计却并不容易。时尚注重细节，往往在深入挖掘的过程中展现出其独特性，而建筑与室内设计则具有更为广阔的领域。尽管如此，时尚与建筑设计之间依然有共通之处。它们都依赖于审美，强调给人留下的感觉，以及你想要传达的理念。

我们希望作品能够“说话”，而这种表达并不依赖于复杂的文字介绍，而是通过作品的概念与内涵，让人直接感受到。这就像中国的诗歌，抽象而富有情感，但能触动每个人的内心。我们希望通过这种抽象的方式，传达不受国界限制的情感。通过这种情感化的空间表达，我们希望每个项目都能达到一个基本目标，那就是让人感受到情感的共鸣。

Lin Qianyi: Both Mr. Yang and I have deep ties to fashion, and our work environment is closely linked to the fashion industry. The absorption of aesthetics and culture follows similar principles, but translating them into design is not easy. Fashion emphasizes detail, with uniqueness emerging through in-depth exploration, while architecture and interior design operate on a broader scale. Nevertheless, fashion and architectural design share common ground. Both rely on aesthetics, focus on the impression they leave, and aim to convey a message.

We hope our work can “speak” for itself. This expression does not rely on lengthy textual explanations but instead allows people to directly experience the concept and meaning through the design itself. It is like Chinese poetry—abstract and emotionally rich, yet capable of resonating deeply with the audience. Through this abstract approach, we aim to convey emotions that transcend borders. This emotional spatial expression enables every project to achieve a fundamental goal: evoking an emotional connection.

杨老师是一个有自我坚持的人，他拥有深厚的文化认同感，浪漫而富有诗意的创作方式，以及对艺术的执着，使得他的创作方向充满了独特的韵味。相比之下，我更倾向于尝试新的事物，体验不同的可能性，去了解不同族群、消费群体或客群的需求和偏好。通过感同身受的代入感，传达出目标群体所想表达的态度或状态。然后，将这种语境抽离，并回归到自己的作品中，它就会呈现出多样的面貌。同时，我们也希望每个项目能容纳团队成员的个性。在不同的项目操作过程中，不同的情绪背景和文化元素的注入会为项目赋予不同的生命力。

许多业主选择我们来做项目，正是因为他们希望看到我们的独特视角、审美，以及我们对创新的思考和表达。我们并不只是完全依照业主的指示执行，而是会通过更多的碰撞和讨论，推动创意的延展。我始终认为，任何项目都是一个共创的过程。我们通过对业主需求的理解和转化，完成了一个既符合实际要求又具美学价值的项目，输出的成果才是我们共同创作的结晶。

Mr. Yang is highly committed to his work, possessing a deep cultural identity, a romantic and poetic creative approach, and a strong dedication to art. These qualities give his creations a distinct character. In contrast, I prefer to explore new things, experience different possibilities, and understand the needs and preferences of various groups, consumer demographics, and audiences. By immersing myself in their perspective, I can express the attitudes or states they wish to convey. Then, by extracting these contextual elements and incorporating them into my own work, the result manifests in diverse forms. Additionally, we hope each project reflects the individuality of our team members. The integration of different emotional backgrounds and cultural elements into various projects infuses them with unique vitality.

Many clients choose us because they appreciate our unique perspective, aesthetics, and innovative thinking. We do not simply execute instructions; rather, we foster creative discussions and exchanges to push the boundaries of ideas. I firmly believe that every project is a co-creative process. By understanding and translating client needs, we create designs that are both practical and aesthetically valuable, resulting in a shared creative achievement.

挖掘品牌DNA
Mining brand DNA

作为设计师，我们不应单纯表达个人创意或展示所谓的“炫技”，而应致力于平衡不同的设计需求，创造出一个能够满足业主或品牌方使用者需求、令其感到愉悦的空间。

As designers, we should not merely express personal creativity or showcase technical prowess; instead, we should strive to balance diverse design needs, creating spaces that meet the requirements of business owners or brand users while bringing them joy.

林倩怡：我们一直认为每个品牌都有一个核心内容，或称之为灵魂。我们的工作是通过我们的理解去挖掘和呈现这一灵魂，借助我们的设计方式、空间、建筑或规划的语境来演绎它。在这一过程中，我们需要具备强烈的共情能力。只有明确方向，才能深入挖掘。深入之后，内容、情绪和品牌DNA才会显现出来。

Lin Qianyi: We have always believed that every brand has a core essence, or what we may call its soul. Our work is to discover and present this soul through our understanding, interpreting it within the contexts of design, space, architecture, or planning. Throughout this process, a strong sense of empathy is essential. Only with a clear direction can we delve deep into the essence of the brand. Once we penetrate its core, the content, emotions, and brand DNA naturally emerge.

在接触每个项目时，我们的第一步是分析客户的需求，理解他们希望达到的效果，以及他们希望空间使用者能够产生的共鸣。一旦这些信息明确，我们才开始思考如何通过合适的方式实现这些目标，如何通过设计赋予空间独特的属性。我并不认同那些认为展厅项目只有固定解法的观点。

When approaching any project, our first step is to analyze the client’s needs, understand the impact they wish to achieve, and the resonance they hope the space will evoke in its users. Once these aspects are clearly defined, we then begin to explore how best to realize these goals, how to infuse the space with distinctive attributes through design. I do not agree with the notion that showroom projects have only fixed solutions.

▲例如在华润未来城项目(FUTURE CITY Exihibition Center)中，我们把它视为一个旅程，而非冷冰冰的房屋模型展示。我们希望通过展现城市变迁的故事，让人感受到城市过去的样貌、演变过程以及未来的无限可能。这一过程本应是充满振奋人心的力量。因此，在项目设计中，我们采用了简约的空间轮廓，以便让参观者在其中聆听城市故事。第一个展厅灰色空间环境中，唯一鲜活的就是图像，它们代表着过去的城市，而未来则是一个充满无限可能和能量的城市。最终，我们希望让空间呈现出一种自然景观的质感。For example, in the China Resources FUTURE CITY Exhibition Center, we envisioned it as a journey rather than merely a static display of architectural models. Our goal was to evoke an emotional connection to the city’s transformation, allowing visitors to experience its past, witness its evolution, and imagine its boundless future possibilities. This journey should be an inspiring and invigorating experience. To achieve this, we designed the space with a minimalist architectural outline, creating an environment where visitors could immerse themselves in the narrative of the city’s development. In the first exhibition hall, the gray-toned environment serves as a neutral backdrop, with images being the only vibrant elements—symbolizing the city’s past. In contrast, the future is depicted as a city brimming with limitless potential and dynamic energy. Ultimately, we aimed to imbue the space with a texture reminiscent of a natural landscape, fostering an organic and immersive experience.

我们公司最初为大家所认识是通过为国内买手店品牌SND提供服务。我们2018年为他们完成了首次品牌升级项目，并在2019年初发布。项目发布后，吸引了大量国际媒体的关注，也让许多时尚品牌反过来认识了SND品牌。在这个过程中，我们发现，我们所能做的不仅仅是赋予品牌力量，更是为空间使用者带来一种情感的能量。空间不仅需要为使用者提供舒适感受，还应该传递品牌的文化、背景和状态。因此，在许多品牌项目中，我们认为提炼品牌的DNA非常关键，但同时也需要适度。

Our company first gained recognition through our collaboration with the domestic buyer store brand SND. In 2018, we completed their first brand upgrade project, which was launched in early 2019. Following its release, the project garnered extensive attention from international media, bringing SND to the awareness of many fashion brands. During this process, we realized that our role was not only to empower brands but also to bring emotional energy to space users. A space should not only provide comfort but also convey the brand’s culture, background, and status. Therefore, in many brand projects, we emphasize distilling the brand’s DNA as a crucial step, but always with a balanced approach.

每个项目都有其明确的目的性，无论是商业的、抽象的，还是激发购物欲的。只要目的得以实现，就没有绝对的好坏之分。作为设计师，我们不应单纯表达个人创意或展示所谓的“炫技”，而应致力于平衡不同的设计需求，创造出一个能够满足业主或品牌方使用者需求、令其感到愉悦的空间。这才是我们认为优秀项目的真正标准。

Each project has a clear purpose, whether commercial, abstract, or aimed at stimulating consumer desire. As long as the purpose is achieved, there is no absolute right or wrong. As designers, we should not merely express personal creativity or showcase technical prowess; instead, we should strive to balance diverse design needs, creating spaces that meet the requirements of business owners or brand users while bringing them joy. This, in our view, is the true standard of an excellent project.

杨东子：在我们开始思考如何改造这个空间时，我们意识到大疆作为国内外的知名品牌，我们应该通过设计展现中国企业的科技力量。因此，我们希望设计一个体现大疆品牌特质的空间。大疆是一家专注于无人机的品牌，我们提出的设计构想是：大疆应该拥有一个专属的无人机发射平台。这一想法成为了我们设计的核心。进一步挖掘这一思路时，我们将“向上”的理念融入空间设计中，将整个建筑的核心筒设计成一个发光的区域，象征着飞行的起点。这一发光的核心区域作为设计的起点，从这里开始，设计理念逐渐向外延伸，逐步影响整个空间的布局与氛围。

Yang Dongzi: When we began considering how to renovate this space, we recognized that DJI, as a renowned brand both domestically and internationally, should reflect the technological strength of Chinese enterprises through design. Therefore, we aimed to create a space that embodies DJI’s brand characteristics. As a company specializing in drones, DJI deserved its own dedicated drone launch platform. This concept became the core of our design. Expanding on this idea, we incorporated the notion of “ascent” into the space, designing the building’s core structure as a luminous area, symbolizing the starting point of flight. This luminous core became the foundation of the design, from which the concept extended outward, shaping the spatial layout and atmosphere.

在具体的设计过程中，我们还要应对一些实际问题。首先，建筑本身的结构问题需要我们关注。由于玻璃幕墙较多，我们不仅要保持建筑的通透感，还要兼顾节能和舒适性，平衡空间的开放性与实际的能效需求。我们特别注重第二层肌肤的处理，确保设计语言与之前提到的中间核心发光区域和无人机发射平台之间形成有效的呼应与串联。现在，整个浏览路线得以贯通，参观者可以从一楼顺畅地一直浏览到四楼的大疆礼堂。

Throughout the design process, we had to address several practical challenges. Firstly, the building’s structural concerns required careful attention. Given the extensive use of glass curtain walls, we had to maintain transparency while balancing energy efficiency and comfort. We focused particularly on the secondary skin treatment to ensure a coherent dialogue between the design language and the luminous core area as well as the drone launch platform. Now, visitors can navigate seamlessly from the first floor to the DJI auditorium on the fourth floor.

▲此外，户外部分我们设计了全球首个品牌的无人机发射公园。内设的无人机塔台可容纳上千台无人机。飞出的无人机在空中形成有趣的光斑或图像，极具视觉冲击力。Additionally, we designed the world’s first dedicated drone launch park for the brand, featuring a control tower that can accommodate thousands of drones. When launched, the drones form captivating light patterns and images in the sky, creating a striking visual impact. © SFAP

▲项目中每个节点也都面临着不同的挑战。我们面临的第一个挑战是如何定义或探索一个无人机空间应具备的特点。这要求我们将机械感和工业美学融入到设计概念和美学体系中，以展现无人机的科技魅力。在建造过程中，另一个挑战是建筑的异形结构。整个建筑没有任何一个角度或三角面的转折是完全一致的，复杂的结构要求我们在施工过程中精确掌握每一个细节。此外，从整个供应链到现场施工的每一个环节都需要精密衔接，而设计团队在这一过程中起到的调和和协调作用都是非常大的挑战。Each stage of the project posed different challenges. The first was defining what a drone space should embody, requiring us to integrate mechanical aesthetics and industrial beauty into the design. Another challenge was the building’s irregular structure. No two angles or triangular intersections were identical, demanding meticulous precision during construction. Additionally, every aspect of the supply chain and on-site execution had to be seamlessly coordinated, posing significant challenges for the design team in terms of mediation and integration. © SFAP

项目完成后，最令我感到骄傲的是中国在空间设计具体表达方面的显著进步，尤其是在落地实现方面的提升。与十年前甚至二十年前相比，我们在设计过程中所能选择的材料、技术和资源有了显著增加，产业链也变得更加成熟与饱满。这一进步让我深刻感受到我们中国的设计产业已经具备了强大的潜力和灵活性。这为我们的设计提供了无限的发挥空间。中国产业链的成熟，使得中国的设计能够与国际接轨，和世界各地的设计师站在同一个平台上，进行深入的沟通与交流。

Upon completion, what made me most proud was the remarkable progress China has made in spatial design and execution. Compared to ten or twenty years ago, the availability of materials, technology, and resources has expanded significantly, leading to a more mature and comprehensive industry chain. This progress underscores the immense potential and flexibility of China’s design industry, providing us with endless possibilities for creativity. The maturity of China’s industrial chain enables Chinese design to engage with global standards, fostering deeper exchanges and collaborations with designers worldwide.

林倩怡：atl atl店铺（点击这里查看更多）本质上是一个园区专属的会所。该园区主要服务于科研人员，他们通常是24小时工作的，且由于涉及到不同的时区。因此，这个会所需要随时为科研人员提供所需的支持。为了实现这一目标，我们将空间设计成一个能够适应全天候变化的场所，以确保无论白天还是晚上，科研人员都能在其中感到舒适。

Lin Qianyi: The atl atl store (Click HERE for details) is essentially an exclusive clubhouse within a research park, catering primarily to researchers who often work around the clock across different time zones.

▲为了实现这一目标，我们将空间设计成一个能够适应全天候变化的场所，以确保无论白天还是晚上，科研人员都能在其中感到舒适。空间内大量使用渐变绿色作为主要色调。这种绿色的使用旨在营造一种温和、舒缓的环境，因为科研人员大部分时间需要长时间盯着屏幕工作，绿色能够有效缓解眼睛疲劳。To meet their needs, the space was designed to adapt to continuous use, ensuring a comfortable experience both day and night. We extensively used gradient green as the primary color scheme, creating a soothing and gentle environment. Since researchers spend long hours staring at screens, green helps alleviate eye fatigue. © 邵峰（榫卯建筑摄影）

▲同时，我们希望在空间内创造一定的场景感，使其成为一个既有趣又适合长期停留的环境，空间具备高度的灵活性，无论何时来访，视觉效果都不会发生变化。我们形容这个空间为“永远在等待的等候厅”，它承载着恒定的舒适感，提供一个在任何时刻都能让使用者感到关怀的环境。At the same time, we wanted to create a space with a strong sense of atmosphere, making it both engaging and suitable for prolonged stays. The space is highly flexible, ensuring that its visual appeal remains consistent regardless of the time of day. We describe it as a “waiting hall that is always waiting,” embodying a constant sense of comfort and providing an environment where users always feel cared for. ©邵峰（榫卯建筑摄影）

▲基于这一理念，atl的设计语言便应运而生。我们确实是从19世纪的一些元素中汲取灵感，借鉴过去对未来空间的想象来表达我们的设计。虽然这些曾被认为是未来的设计未曾实现，但它们将永远停留在未到来的未来中。这种复古与未来的结合，成为了一个充满趣味的互动空间，带给人们独特的感受。Based on this concept, the design language of atl naturally emerged. We drew inspiration from certain elements of the 19th century, borrowing past visions of future spaces to inform our design. While these once-imagined future designs were never realized, they remain suspended in an ever-unfolding future. This fusion of vintage and futuristic aesthetics creates a playful interactive space, offering visitors a uniquely immersive experience. ©邵峰（榫卯建筑摄影）

人居与教育建筑
Habitat and School

正是这种人文关怀与对家庭互动的深入理解，成就了这个空间设计的独特性与和谐感。

We believe that this attention to human-centered design and deep understanding of family dynamics is what makes this space uniquely harmonious.

杨东子：业主的理念是，当他回到家乡居住时，能够与家人共享这种根植于故乡的生活方式。这个理念不仅是对乡土的情感归属，也是对家族凝聚力的一种深刻理解。因此，他和兄弟姐妹们的互动成为空间设计的重要出发点。这种家族互动体现在多个层面。设计时我们特别注重了老年人、小孩与中年人之间的互动。

Yang Dongzi: The client’s vision was to return to their hometown and share a lifestyle deeply rooted in their heritage with their family. This vision reflects not only a sentimental attachment to their homeland but also a profound understanding of familial bonds. Thus, the interactions among family members became a key design consideration. We paid special attention to the interactions between elderly family members, children, and middle-aged individuals.

▲比如，在一楼，我们设计了一个小夹层。当大家一起聚餐时，小孩们很快就能吃完，而夹层的位置使得他们可以自由活动，而大人则可以随时喊到他们，确保他们的安全与参与感。For instance, we designed a small mezzanine on the first floor. During family meals, children often finish eating quickly. The mezzanine allows them to move freely while remaining within the adults’ line of sight, ensuring both safety and a sense of participation. © 雷坛坛

此外，老年人在清晨通常会早起，并且喜欢和邻居们一起在家中进行社交活动，如打麻将或聊天。为了满足这种需求，我们在空间设计中专门设置了一个偏厅，方便他们进行日常的社交互动。值得一提的是，这些空间之间并没有严格的门和墙的隔离，仅通过视线上的分隔来保持一定的隐私感，但无论是中年人、老年人还是小孩，彼此之间都可以通过喊叫或互动迅速沟通和了解需求（而喊叫式交流其实也是乡村生活的习惯及特色）。这种设计理念贯穿于每一个空间的布局与细节中，确保了家庭成员之间的互动，同时也保持了各自的私密空间。我认为，正是这种人文关怀与对家庭互动的深入理解，成就了这个空间设计的独特性与和谐感。

Moreover, elderly family members tend to wake up early and enjoy socializing with neighbors through activities like playing mahjong or chatting. To accommodate this, we created a side hall specifically for daily social interactions. Notably, the space maintains visual separations rather than rigid partitions, preserving privacy while allowing easy communication among family members. This approach ensures dynamic family interactions while maintaining personal space. We believe that this attention to human-centered design and deep understanding of family dynamics is what makes this space uniquely harmonious.

杨东子：这个项目的背景是在城中村的旧改基础上进行的，要处理一个凌乱的、需要通过人为梳理和规划的空间。项目面临的节奏非常快，设计周期也相应缩短。在这种紧张的时间框架内，我认为，学校建筑设计，最重要的是确保学生的安全，其次是如何在校园环境中为学生提供一个专注学习的空间，不被外界干扰。因此，我们将这些核心要素作为设计的出发点，同时解决一些城中村现有房屋问题，比如加固和结构优化。

Yang Dongzi: This project was undertaken as part of the urban renewal of a village within the city, requiring us to organize and plan a chaotic space through human intervention. The project had an extremely fast-paced schedule, which significantly shortened the design period. Within this tight timeframe, I believed that the most important aspect of school architecture was ensuring student safety, followed by creating an environment conducive to focused learning, free from external disturbances. Therefore, we started with these core elements while also addressing existing housing issues in the village, such as structural reinforcement and optimization.

▲此外，我们还特别关注如何调节光线的进入，避免直射阳光对学生产生不适的影响。我们在设计中选用了不同的材料，调节光线的柔和度，以提供一个更适合学习的环境。同时，考虑到城中村的噪音问题，我们也致力于提升空间的隔音效果，以确保学生能在一个安静的环境中集中精力学习。
Additionally, we paid special attention to how light enters the space to prevent direct sunlight from causing discomfort for students. We carefully selected different materials to soften the light and create a more suitable learning environment. Given the noise levels in urban villages, we also prioritized enhancing sound insulation to ensure students could concentrate in a quiet atmosphere. © 张超建筑摄影工作室

▲我们使用亮色系材料来大面积覆盖建筑，以有效缩短建设周期，同时保持较低的成本。我们也希望通过这种方式，使得学校建筑外观既光鲜亮丽，又能激发学生愉快的情绪，从而提升他们在学习中的体验。我们最终选择了蓝色作为主色调，蓝色象征着海洋和广阔的天空，赋予整个空间一种和谐且富有活力的氛围。We used bright-colored materials extensively on the building’s exterior to effectively shorten the construction period while keeping costs low. Our aim was to create a visually appealing school building that could also uplift students’ emotions, enhancing their overall learning experience. Ultimately, we chose blue as the primary color, symbolizing the ocean and the vast sky, instilling a sense of harmony and vibrancy throughout the space. © 张超建筑摄影工作室

对材料的探索
Exploration of materials

持续研发符合特定空间基因的材料，对于我来说至关重要。

Continuously developing materials that align with specific spatial identities is of utmost importance to me.

杨东子：我们公司一直致力于研发新的材料。市面上的许多材料往往无法完全呈现我们对空间的理解，最终的空间呈现是通过介质来表达的，而材料正是最关键的介质之一。因此，持续研发符合特定空间基因的材料，对于我来说至关重要。

设计龚宅（点击这里查看更多）时，我希望找到一种能够准确表达乡间建筑风格的材料。我思考如何在控制成本并压缩施工周期的情况下，研发出一种稳定的材料，既能保留传统乡村建筑的特色，又具备现代建筑需求。同时能够在生产过程中大幅降低碳排放，以便在保护环境方面做出贡献。基于这些考虑，我和团队在进行建筑规划和设计的同时，研发了草本砖。

Yang Dongzi: Our company has always been committed to developing new materials. Many existing materials on the market cannot fully express our spatial vision. The final presentation of a space is achieved through its medium, and materials are one of the most critical mediums. Therefore, continuously developing materials that align with specific spatial identities is of utmost importance to me.

When designing Gong’s House (Click HERE for details) , I wanted to find a material that could accurately reflect the architectural style of the countryside. I considered how to develop a stable material that would retain the characteristics of traditional rural architecture while meeting modern construction needs—all while controlling costs and compressing the construction timeline. Additionally, we aimed to significantly reduce carbon emissions during production to contribute to environmental sustainability. Based on these considerations, my team and I developed a new material, herbal bricks, while simultaneously working on the architectural planning and design.

▼龚宅材料 – 草本砖，herbal brick © 万社设计

早些年，我们曾研究过一款“金砖”，这款砖曾用于故宫太和殿的翻新工作。据我了解，这款砖的泥料配方已储存了约20年的量，这项技术在20年后可能会失传。因此，我们思考如何用现代化的方式延续这一工艺，让更多的人能够继续使用它，并通过更具竞争力的价格推广，使其得到更广泛的应用。

Years ago, we researched a type of “golden brick” used in the restoration of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City. From what I understand, the raw material formula for these bricks has been stored for about 20 years, and this technique might be lost in another two decades. This led us to consider how to modernize the process to preserve this craft, allowing more people to access and use it while making it more competitive in pricing for widespread application.

▲基于这一构想，我们研发了一款“金砖”材料，并将其应用于“MORPH”的公共空间项目（点击这里查看更多）中，这是我们公司较早进行的空间材料探索之一。Building on this concept, we developed a “golden brick” material and applied it to the public space project “MORPH.(Click HERE for details) ” This was one of our company’s early explorations into spatial materials.

为“将来临的未来”而设计
Design for the “future to come”

未来，我希望我们能够持续创造出更具社会贡献价值的设计和思想理念，我相信这些成果将会历久弥新，这是我一直以来努力的方向。

In the future, I hope we can continue to create designs and ideas that contribute to society—works that will stand the test of time.

林倩怡：我们不拒绝任何业态的项目。以设计、创意跟生命力去撬动项目是我们的本质。很多业主希望项目能够兼容不同群体的共生状态。这种设计状态本身极具挑战性且富有趣味，因为它反映了社会环境的不断变化，但经典的设计元素却是永恒不变的。我们将经典的手法作为设计的核心。在这基础上，我们加入了顺应潮流的元素，使得项目既具备了经典之感，又能适应当前的潮流趋势。潮流是一个循环，我们不认为我们的项目会过时，而是相信它们能够经得起时间的考验，始终保持着作为经典项目的能量。

Lin Qianyi: We do not reject any type of project. Our fundamental approach is to leverage design, creativity, and vitality to drive projects forward. Many clients hope their projects can accommodate a diverse range of groups and coexist harmoniously. This design challenge is inherently complex yet intriguing, as it reflects the ever-changing societal landscape, while classic design elements remain timeless. We use classic techniques as the foundation of our design, incorporating contemporary elements to ensure that our projects maintain a sense of timelessness while also aligning with current trends. Trends are cyclical, and we do not believe our projects will become outdated. Instead, we trust they will withstand the test of time, maintaining their presence as classic works.

我们团队的知名度，特别是在室内设计领域，源于我们在品牌零售项目中的突出表现。近年来，我们的关注点逐渐转向建筑和景观项目，特别是杨老师，作为建筑师，他一直坚持自己对建筑的信念，致力于为社会带来积极的影响。我们的新项目中，开始探索一些非标型项目，譬如城市农场设计，以及尺度更大的合作项目。最近，我们也在做一些新地块的规划设计，其中包括时尚、运动以及商业等多重业态的结合。除此之外，明年我们还将展开一系列酒店设计项目，我们希望通过更多项目的可能性，展示设计的无限潜力。

Our team’s reputation, particularly in interior design, originates from our outstanding work in brand retail projects. In recent years, our focus has gradually expanded to architecture and landscape projects. Mr. Yang, as an architect, has always upheld his architectural philosophy and is dedicated to making a positive impact on society. Our new projects now explore non-standard typologies, such as urban farm designs and larger-scale collaborations. Recently, we have been working on master planning for new sites, integrating fashion, sports, and commercial elements into mixed-use developments. Additionally, next year, we will embark on a series of hotel design projects, through which we hope to showcase the infinite possibilities of design.

我们是一个保持“渴望”的团队，总是渴求成长、渴望应对新的挑战。我们的工作是在经过深思熟虑之后，呈现出具有长期生命力的成果。“为将来创作”可能更贴切地反映了我们的状态。除了对设计、创意和生命力的追求外，我们的思维方式也在不断演变，经历了很多深化的过程。在坚守审美质感的基础上，我们始终在变化，始终根据更好的状态不断成长。

We are a team driven by “desire”—constantly yearning for growth and seeking new challenges. Our work is carefully considered and aimed at producing results with long-lasting vitality. “Creating for the future” is perhaps the best way to describe our approach. In addition to our pursuit of design, creativity, and vitality, our thought process continues to evolve, undergoing many stages of refinement. While maintaining aesthetic integrity, we are always adapting and growing, continuously seeking better states of design.

杨东子：自公司成立以来，我始终将设计本身作为我们的核心关注点。未来，我希望我们能够持续创造出更具社会贡献价值的设计和思想理念，我相信这些成果将会历久弥新，这是我一直以来努力的方向。更重要的是，我希望我们的设计能够激发他人思考和创造，这是我对公司未来的期望与愿景。

Yang Dongzi: Since the founding of the company, I have always placed design at the center of our focus. In the future, I hope we can continue to create designs and ideas that contribute to society—works that will stand the test of time. More importantly, I hope our designs will inspire others to think and create. This is my vision and aspiration for the future of our company.

林倩怡：我们始终认为，设计和创作的本质，必须是在团队愉悦的状态下才能得以完成。在高压的“中国节奏下”，我们始终在想办法去平衡团队的状态及工作节奏，让项目得到更好的发展。因此，我们现在更多地采取顺其自然、随缘的方式去发展公司，吸收更多的养分，最终创造出一朵我们无法预见的花。无论它呈现何种形式，我们都希望它能为这个行业带来希望。

Lin Qianyi: We have always believed that design and creativity must be cultivated in a joyful team environment to truly flourish. Amidst China’s high-pressure work culture, we constantly seek ways to balance our team’s well-being with project development, ensuring optimal project outcomes. Consequently, we now take a more organic and serendipitous approach to growing our company—absorbing a variety of influences, eventually cultivating something unpredictable yet beautiful. Regardless of its final form, we hope it brings optimism to the industry.

我至今依然坚信创造的重要性。我一直强调，我们是创意者，而非仅仅是设计师。我认为想法本身是最有价值的东西，关键在于如何将这些想法发展成一个方向，并找到最合适的路径去开出一朵最美丽的花。这需要时间和过程，也需要坚持。

To this day, I firmly believe in the importance of creation. I have always emphasized that we are creators, not just designers. I believe that ideas themselves hold the greatest value—the key lies in developing them into a direction and finding the best path to make them bloom into the most beautiful flowers. This requires time, process, and perseverance.
