Kengo Kuma is a world-renown architect and designer that pushes the bounds in terms of how certain buildings should look, and the Yunnan Sales Center is no different. Kuma's concept for the design features two separate areas with a latticed bridge connecting the two in the middle.
The Yunnan Sales Center is located in the southwestern area of China, and is surrounded by a tranquil atmosphere with lakes and hills for a backdrop. Although the structure is called the sales center, it will also serve as an entertainment area, and it even has a small theater inside. Moreover, Kuma has included a fine dining section for anyone looking for a special night out in the area.Photo Credits: designboom, kkaa.co.jp
