The Vanke Triple V Gallery by Ministry of Design is a sharp-edged structure that puts emphasis on bold angular accents. Featuring a triangle-shaped showroom gallery, this distinctive structure sits on the coast of China’s Dong Jiang Bay.
The multi-faceted building features three spikes, each on a different corner, offering three distinct areas, each housed under one of the structure’s triangular peaks. Showcasing a steel-clad facade, this bold architectural piece features a weather-sensitive exterior, designed with the structure’s surrounding typography in mind.
While the exterior of the Vanke Triple V Gallery is sleek and sharp, its interior spaces are clad with wooden panels, giving communal spaces a natural sense of warmth. Whether seen in the day or lit up in the evening, this bold structure is worth paying a visit to.
