It is an example of clever architectural design. Completed by [Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shenzhen-energy-ring), the entirety of the structure embraces both traditional, contemporary and futuristic design. The exterior boasts a brick facade that is infused with a modern flair through the sizable windows that allow passers-by to peek into the spacious showroom. The interior of the NIO House, on the other hand, contains futuristic hits with regard to furniture and composition. When designing the [flagship store](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stocker-lee-architetti), Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects truly paid attention to the ethos of the brand — the global start-up focuses on developing [high-performance electric and autonomous vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebula-next). In an elegant attempt to identify the NIO House, the architecture firm stylishly places the company's logo in the forefront.
