Ren Community
Ren Community is an art gallery located in a small urban space in Hangzhou, China. The interior measures 13 meters long, 4.2 meters wide and 5.4 meters high. Along the long axis, the gallery is divided into three halls: front, middle and rear. The halls flow into one another and create layered, open areas. Changes in height and enclosure give the space a sense of rhythm. Skylights in the front and rear halls bring in natural light. White microcement covers the surfaces for a pure appearance. The design offers a quiet, inward space within a busy city.
Ren Community Art Gallery by Wei Zhou was featured as an exceptional representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Ren Community Art Gallery was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2023. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a highly prestigious international design recognition program which rewards excellent design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
