Formerly known as Beijing textile warehouse, a factory with red-brick walls and pitch roof built in the 1960s has been transformed into a new showroom for a young domestic furniture brand, ZIIN. Atelier tao+c sought to balance the relation between existing site with the new function, exhibition and sale, background and objects by placing two intersecting square frameworks, which were rotated 45 degrees to detached from the original four walls, and formed independent nested buildings in a building.
