Wulin Star
Wulin Star is an exhibition hall created inside two historic factory buildings in Hangzhou. The renovation preserves the original structure and the industrial details of the old plant as far as possible. A revolving door of 8.5 meters in height rotates 360 degrees without a ground track, and a large folding screen is carried by an upper steel truss. The existing pipelines were reorganized and combined with custom mechanical devices. Idle interior areas are transformed into an active public space for exhibitions, art and commerce.
Wulin Star Exhibition Hall by YINPING YAO has been recognized as an exceptional illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Wulin Star Exhibition Hall earned the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2025. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a highly prestigious international design competition which recognizes superior design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
