Interior Design & Build Shanghai: Where Vision Meets Precision
“Xin’an fàngxin.”
安心放心.
“Rest assured.”
That’s the promise we make to every global client who walks through our door—whether it’s a Fortune 500 tech leader launching in Pudong, a European luxury house expanding into Xintiandi, or a dynamic startup scaling in Jing’an. As a leading Interior Design & Build Shanghai studio, we don’t just design spaces—we deliver peace of mind through a seamless, one-stop approach that blends creative vision with operational excellence.
In a city that moves at the speed of light, where innovation and tradition coexist, our firm stands apart by offering end-to-end solutions that are as emotionally intelligent as they are technically flawless.
The Power of One-Stop: Design, Build, Deliver—Flawlessly
In Shanghai’s high-stakes commercial landscape, delays cost more than money—they erode trust. That’s why our integrated design & build model is the secret behind our 98% on-time project delivery rate.
From the first sketch in our Westbank Art District studio to the final walkthrough at a flagship store in IAPM Mall, we own every phase: concept design, spatial planning, material curation, construction, and handover. No handoffs. No miscommunication. Just one team, one vision, one responsibility.
When a global wellness brand needed a new Asia HQ in Lujiazui—complete with biophilic offices, a retail experience zone, and executive residences—we delivered all three in under six months. Because we’re not just designers. We’re builders, project managers, and cultural navigators—all in one.
This is the true advantage of working with an Interior Design & Build Shanghai partner: speed without sacrifice.
Designing for Mood: How Color Shapes Experience
Inspired by the psychology of color—and the NCS forecast’s insight into human emotion—we don’t choose palettes randomly. We choose them with purpose.
After years of uncertainty, we’ve seen a shift in client needs. The 2022 trend toward Zience—meditative clarity—and One—reconnection with nature—has only deepened. In Shanghai, where urban density can feel overwhelming, our spaces now prioritize calm.
For a fintech office in Zhangjiang, we used soft, mineral-inspired tones—muted greys, warm taupes, and gentle sage—paired with natural light gradients that mimic the rhythm of the day. The result? A 35% drop in self-reported stress levels and a surge in deep-focus productivity.
We call it “he xie” (和谐)—harmony. Not just in color, but in how light, texture, and space work together to support the human experience.
And for retail? We embrace Spring Rebels—the joyful resurgence of bold, optimistic hues. A recent pop-up for a Scandinavian brand in Plaza 66 used vibrant coral and sunlit yellow to create a sense of liberation and play, inviting customers to reconnect—ren jian (人间)—with the joy of being together again.
Wood Tones, Grain, and the Art of Balance
Much like in traditional Chinese painting, where empty space speaks as loudly as the brushstroke, we believe harmony in interiors comes from balance—not uniformity.
Take wood. In a residential project in the French Concession, we paired light oak flooring—its subtle yellow undertones evoking warmth and openness—with deep walnut cabinetry for contrast and grounding. The grain? Fine in the kitchen for cleanliness, bold in the living room for character.
We follow a simple rule: match the undertone, vary the grain.
This approach creates depth without chaos. It allows each piece to stand out, yet belong. For a boutique workspace in Hongkou, we used ash wood desks with tight grain for focus zones, then introduced reclaimed teak with wild grain in communal areas to spark conversation and creativity.
It’s not just about aesthetics. It’s about guiding behavior through materiality.
Local Insight, Global Standards
Our firm’s multinational experience is our strength—but it’s our local fluency that makes the difference.
We understand that a boardroom in Xujiahui values discretion and hierarchy, while a co-working space in Taikang Lu thrives on energy and spontaneity. We know that guanxi (关系) matters in project approvals, and that mianzi (面子)—face—is preserved through flawless execution.
So we blend global best practices—LEED certification, BIM modeling, agile project management—with on-the-ground wisdom. We source sustainable materials from Jiangsu, collaborate with shifu (masters) in Suzhou for custom joinery, and navigate Shanghai’s complex permitting system with precision.
The result? Spaces that meet international benchmarks while feeling authentically Shanghai.
Award-Winning Quality, Built to Last
Quality isn’t a phase. It’s a mindset.
From VOC-free finishes to acoustically optimized partitions, every detail is scrutinized. We conduct weekly site audits, use digital twins for progress tracking, and welcome client walkthroughs at every milestone.
Our residential clients in the Bund area often say, “Zhe ge jia you neidi” (这个家有温度)—“This home has warmth.” That’s the highest praise. Because true quality isn’t just in the craftsmanship. It’s in the feeling.
Interior Design & Build Shanghai: Your Trusted Partner for What’s Next

Whether it’s a high-performance office in Qiantan, a customer-centric retail space in Xujiahui, or a serene family residence in Changning, our Interior Design & Build Shanghai approach ensures every project is delivered on time, within budget, and above expectation.
Because in a city that never sleeps, the best spaces are the ones that help people thrive—body, mind, and spirit.
