TAOA

Founded by Tao Lei in 2011, TAOA has been constantly seeking a new way of architecture which not only coexists with natural environment but could adapt itself to the future. Based on the combination of traditional Chinese culture and modern notion, all projects designed by TAOA including dwelling design, commercial center design and so on embodied our own value that is to create free and authentic space atmosphere in a organic and relaxing way. Such value enables us to perfect every single segment of architectural practice involving project planning, conceptual design and construction detail. Furthermore, we pay attention to the social context of architecture as well as meet clients’ demand.
Tao Lei (Beijing) Architecture Designing Corporation was officially established in 2011, however, which used to be Tao Studio in 2007. TAOA has gained widely reputation of architectural field. Their works have been recognized and published widely both in China and internationally including WA Awards for Chinese Architecture 2010, Gold Awards and Merit Awards of Asia Pacific Interior Design, nomination of China Architecture Media Awards, shortlist of UED Museum Design Award etc. It is worth mentioning that TAOA won WA Awards for Chinese Architecture again in 2012.
