LANWUU IMAGINE stands within a residential area in Kunming

Crafted by Aurora Design, LANWUU IMAGINE photography studio offers a range of services aiming to encapsulate and highlight life’s special moments. With services including wedding dress photography, ceremony coverage, and portrait sessions, the studio’s essence lies in freezing moments within the fluidity of time, embracing the beauty of everyday life. Situated within a residential area in Kunming, China, the design seamlessly intertwines with the locale’s character.

Preserving the site’s original framework, the spatial layout unfolds organically around a central core, delineating functional zones in a sequential fashion. This architectural narrative, while honoring the site’s legacy, imbues the space with a sense of ‘unfinished’ modernism, accentuating the fluidity of time and space.

distinct materials converge to create bold ambiance

Throughout the design, the concept of ‘unfinished’ permeates various mediums, capturing the essence of temporariness and anticipation. Structural elements like rotating cylindrical forms evoke a sense of continuity, seamlessly melding functionality with aesthetics. Color palettes rich in metal, concrete, wood, and marble converge to create an ambiance that is simultaneously bold and liberated. Stainless steel accents infuse a futuristic aesthetic, elevating the space into a realm of timeless artistry.

The design narrative, followed by Aurora Design, unfolds like a visual symphony, with each space curated to evoke a distinct emotional response. From the circular showroom that anchors the narrative to the café-inspired chat zone, every corner showcases its own tale, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in a sensory journey.

LANWUU IMAGINE, envisioned by Aurora Design, embodies simplicity in capturing life’s everyday moments

The interplay of materials, from reflective metals to architectural concrete, adds depth and texture to the space, echoing the brand’s image through simplicity and reflection. LANWUU IMAGINE invites visitors to pause, reflect, and discover beauty in the transient moments of everyday life. Aurora Design’s nuanced approach not only captures the essence of the brand but also highlights unseen beauty and warmth.
