The office contains an exhibition area, a children’s playroom, staff offices, and a VIP room for sales and business meetings. Once the development is complete, the office will become a clubhouse for residents. One Plus Partnership is also designing some of the residential interiors. “With this unique sales office, the development is well-promoted and is attracting public attention,” says Esther Chan, a marketing representative for the firm. The project, one of the developer’s largest and most important, is located in the outskirts of Chongqing; a special and dramatic sales office was needed to help visitors visualize a project that is not yet complete. 

One Plus has collaborated with the developer, Shanghai Forte Land, on previous projects. The firm’s design of a show flat for the The Cullinan, a residential tower east of Jinkai Avenue in a new, northern area of the city, was awarded several international honors last year. The flat, which, like the Mountain City sales office, mimics the landscape of Chongqing, impressed the developer and garnered more work for One Plus. “The developer selected us in order to strengthen their brand name internationally, since they appreciate our innovative designs,” says Chan. “They are confident in us, so they gave us a lot of freedom on the design.”
