Beijing Vanke Metropolis No. 79 is located in North 4th Ring Road, adjacent to the Bird’s Nest. Renovated from existing building stock, it's another Beijing Vanke’s urban renewal project after Vanke Times. The interior design is simplistic but advanced. Curved lines run through the space, presenting smooth visual experience. Soft leathers and eye-catching metals are widely used, which represents the high-end lifestyle. Besides, the windowsills extend the original granite on the exterior wall, which provides an open view to the outside and integrate interiors and urban landscape within a frame.

We boldly experimented with a modularization design idea called “X-space”: the units in the apartment can be changed, disassembled, reorganized and even expanded according to needs of the dwellers.

The exhibition area at the entrance presents as an art gallery that fully demonstrates the bold “playfulness”. This space discards the functional expression and uses art to highlight the “metropolitan” feature and “Super Player” personality of project.

The bathroom and kitchen module at the middle connect the exhibition area and living room. In addition, this central module can be extended northward to form a layout for one or two bedrooms.

The main bathroom linking the suite and exhibition area is also a changeable connection module. The location of the suite, exhibition area and living room can be switched and adjusted accordingly, making the circulation of the entire apartment variable.
