ARCHITECTURE Winner / Sichuan Dayi Infinity Library / Arva Limited / Stephen Chan

Arva Ltd. was founded in 2015 as a studio providing architectural design and visual art consultancy services.We are architects, artists and teachers, with a team of enthusiastic and dedicated young professionals focusing on the fundamentals of design: functional requirements, context, cultural backgrounds and environmental sustainability. We are committed to the collaborative aspects of making architecture with a strong emphasis on research, creativity, materials and technologies, all within the framework of budget and time. Through architecture, we aim to lift the extra-ordinary out of the ordinary and to have delight and sparkle in our day to day life. We believe that architecture is a natural product of art and technology; it can create a sense of place which is both physical and spiritual, and it should contribute to our future generation with minimal impact on the environment.Our works include residential, office, hotel, shopping and entertainment, school and civic building, transportation, mix-uses urban complex and urbanism. We also have a team who is specialized in art curating, exhibition and promotion. Since the formation of the studio, we have been working on various regions in China and overseas, including Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Nanning, Hainan, Zhejiang, Beijing, London and Japan.
