The project site is located in the village of Weipo, a suburb of Luoyang, the ancient capital city of multiple dynasties in Chinese history. Surrounded by traditional courtyards and kiln houses preserved as housing museums, the area near the old marketplace is expected to see revived community life, boosted by newly constructed boutique shops, cultural venues, and recreational facilities.

Among incoming business owners, the most anticipated is White Is Good Shop by HOWHITE, renowned for its carefully selected household goods packaged with minimal, white-colored eco-friendly materials. Since its first launch in Beijing’s historic Hutong area, the brand has gained popularity for its unique minimalistic aesthetics.

Inside, an original concrete structure is exposed to show the rawness of the space, contrasting with the brand’s signature clean and orderly fashion. Outside, the building is transformed into a public gathering spot with a new envelope, highlighted by its brightness and openness.
