Xinhee Design Center in Xiamen is the headquarters for Xinhee Group and its six fashion brands. The building features a star-shaped layout with six branching wings connected by a central atrium, designed to encourage collaboration and openness across departments.

A semi-transparent PTFE skin wraps the structure, providing natural light, ventilation, and solar shading while giving the building a light, floating appearance. The atrium includes gardens, water features, and footbridges that double as fashion show catwalks, serving as both a public and functional core.

Raised on pilotis, the ground level forms a shaded garden accessible to the public. Living walls and green spaces extend throughout the building, merging work and nature.

Designed for Xiamen’s subtropical climate, the building promotes energy efficiency through passive ventilation, daylighting, and a breathable façade.
