A bright apartment in a new building with large terraces and views of Prague. Where one cooks, eats, works, where children play, watch TV, read, create and sleep.

This townhouse in Shenzhen used to be a completely different look. The colonial-style and complicated decoration that was popular in a certain era in China, is no longer fit for current life.

In an area of over 5,000 sqm, where an abandoned shopping center used to be, we created the new Olist office. Our starting point was to look at the problem:
