Shenzhen Yue Art Gallery is a renovation project, based on the original Jinwei Brewery District in Luohu of Shenzhen, China. Originally a cans production building, the north portal of the brewery district has been redesigned by BLACKHome Architects. 

The new façade relates directly to the adjacent tanks thanks to the rhythmic concave design, which is formed in Ductal® Envelope panels and glazing. The glass offers reflections of the surroundings, while from inside the transparency allows people inside the art gallery to catch a glimpse of the tanks at ground floor level. From the second floor and above, the architect uses the Ductal® UHPC hollow board as a medium between the indoor space and the tanks, making the views from inside to outside more interesting.

The main challenge here was to redefine the 4472 m² building façade while respecting the architectural heritage. Ductal® performances offer the ability for the precaster to create very thin curved perforated panels (1200*3000mm*20mm/1200*3000*30mm), easy to combine with high reflection glass.
