The Osmanthus Grace
The Osmanthus Grace is a sales center building located in the Yuhua District of Shijiazhuang. The design places two staggered bar-shaped blocks around an interior courtyard and an exterior landscaped courtyard, which remain independent yet linked. The three-story southern block combines solid stone with fully glazed sections, and the glass is covered by a fine metal grid with a spacing of about 150 millimeters. The two-story northern block is almost entirely glazed. Slender steel columns support the canopy overhang. The building will later serve as a public service facility.
The Osmanthus Grace Sales Center by GTD has been identified as an exceptional representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. The Osmanthus Grace Sales Center was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2021. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design competition that honors exceptional design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
