say architects Designs 207 m² Sage Store for Aranya Guangzhou

say architects has completed a 207 m² retail interior for Sage Studio at Aranya Guangzhou, a project slated for 2026. Zhang Yan and Shan Jianan served as principal architects, with a design team of Liu Xuan and Yu Siqi. Shanghai Jielu Decoration Design Engineering Co., Ltd. handled construction, while LuosLab produced the ceramic elements. Wen Studio photographed the finished space. The design draws on the site's dual character at Aranya Guangzhou — described by the team as half urban bustle, half lake-and-mountain landscape — and on the natural, relaxed lifestyle ethos of Sage Studio. say architects organized the scheme around three ideas: a lived-in sensibility that reconciles the everyday with the poetic, directness expressed through material and structure, and playfulness linking scene to experience. The result is conceived as a small house built for holidays rather than a conventional shop. The project appears in ArchDaily's commercial interiors category, with curation credited to HAN Shuang and suppliers listed as LuosLab and Shanghai Jielu Decoration Design Engineering Co., Ltd.
