Showroom / Foshan

Project Type: Showroom

GABO Showroom & Headquarters Office

LEW CREATIVE

A former ceramics factory in Foshan reworked into GABO's bathroom headquarters and showroom, where LEW CREATIVE keeps traces of the old building while building a layered brand and product experience.

Key Spatial Ideas

The design uses the idea of viewing as its starting point, with black volumes and glass brick giving the facade a stone-like presence.

The first floor becomes a modular bathroom showroom with stacked geometric forms and ten themed bathroom scenes.

Existing beams, columns and old wall textures stay visible, while new skylight moments bring daylight back into the industrial shell.

Reading the record

What the available project record supports

This reading separates published project facts from DesignFan’s editorial interpretation. It does not infer a client brief, budget, programme outcome or commercial result where the supplied project material is silent.

Project context

A showroom and headquarters in a former ceramics factory

The available project material identifies the site as a former ceramics factory in Foshan, adapted for GABO’s bathroom showroom and headquarters office. That existing industrial shell is the documented setting for the project; the record does not specify the client’s wider business objectives or the scope of the refurbishment.

Design challenge

Making two working roles legible in one existing shell

The source material documents both showroom and headquarters functions, as well as retained beams, columns and wall texture. DesignFan therefore reads the project as a spatial response to coexisting display and workplace programmes. This is an editorial framing, not a stated client brief.

Design response

Scenes, structure and daylight organise the visit

Published project material describes a modular bathroom showroom on the first floor, with stacked geometric forms and ten themed bathroom scenes. It also identifies black volumes, glass brick, retained structural elements and new skylight moments. These are documented design features, rather than claims about visitor behaviour or sales performance.

What this project demonstrates

An existing industrial setting can remain part of a brand-facing interior

The project shows one documented way of combining product display with a headquarters environment: retain visible traces of the building while introducing a new sequence of bathroom settings. It cannot, on the available evidence, demonstrate a general rule for bathroom brands or prove commercial outcomes.

DesignFan observation

Retained beams, columns, old wall texture and new skylight moments establish a dialogue between old and new fabric.

The named features are documented; the reading of their relationship is editorial interpretation of the supplied text and photographs.
