MG2

Based in Shanghai, MG2 merges the bold structural typologies of wholesale retail and commercial infrastructure with richly detailed interior atmospheres created through expressive lighting grids, exposed overhead utilities, and warm wood millwork. This portfolio provides a strong reference when integrating vehicular ramps directly into large-scale building volumes or when balancing raw overhead infrastructure with fluted stone and layered feature lighting in social entertainment lounges.

Salish Lodge Renovation

What we like about this project
