The Guangzhou Swisscoat headquarters underwent a full-scale renovation in 2011. Spanning 14,000 sq ft. across multiple floors, the project unified executive offices, workspaces, meeting rooms, and a showroom under a modern industrial aesthetic, featuring exposed concrete surfaces, clean partitions, and timber accents that balanced functionality with warmth.
The renovation extended beyond the interiors to include a new façade, exterior landscaping, and parking design, elevating the entire corporate campus. Despite the cross-border challenges, the 8-month project was delivered on time, setting a new milestone for the team and reinforcing Swisscoat’s identity of precision and innovation.
2011년에 완공된 광저우 Swisscoat 본사는 전면적인 리노베이션을 통해 새롭게 탈바꿈했습니다. 약 14,000평방피트 규모로 여러 층에 걸쳐 진행된 이 프로젝트는 임원실, 사무 공간, 회의실, 쇼룸을 하나의 현대적 산업 감각으로 통합했습니다. 노출 콘크리트, 깔끔한 파티션, 우드 마감은 기능성과 따뜻함을 동시에 구현했습니다. 이번 리노베이션은 내부뿐만 아니라 건물 외관, 조경, 주차장까지 확장되어 기업 캠퍼스 전체의 이미지를 새롭게 구축했습니다. 홍콩과 광저우 간의 거리 제약에도 불구하고 8개월 만에 완공되었으며, Swisscoat의 정밀성과 혁신적인 브랜드 정체성을 강화하는 중요한 이정표가 되었습니다.

MATERIALITY & DETAILING
An industrial-modern aesthetic guided the interiors, featuring exposed concrete, clean white partitions, geometric lighting fixtures, and timber accents for warmth.
The façade was entirely refurbished, with a new cladding system, exterior signage, and landscaping to give the building a refreshed, contemporary presence.
PROJECT GOALS & OUTCOMES
Delivered a landmark corporate building renovation within 8 months despite the project’s scale and distance from Hong Kong.
Integrated office, showroom, and executive areas with a consistent design language.
Upgraded both interior and exterior to reflect Swisscoat’s brand DNA of precision and innovation.
COLLABORATION & CONSTRAINTS
This project was uniquely challenging, as it required on-site coordination in Guangzhou, which is two to three hours away from Hong Kong. The scope included not only interiors but also façade redesign, landscaping, and parking areas, expanding beyond conventional office fit-outs. Completed, the project set a new benchmark for the team in terms of scale and cross-border execution.
