DESIGN NAME: Tongrentang Zhima Health
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Offline Experience Store
INSPIRATION: After proposing the transformation, Tongrentang and we began field investigations at home and abroad. From retail to hotel and other formats, we have experienced almost every brand new store. And finally we focused on the trade form of hotel brand. So, the idea of creating an immersive experience space comes out.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Zhima Health concept store provides dietary supplements, nourishing & health food and even health care products that incorporate health tech, enabling customers to enjoy one-stop and immersive shopping experience. Besides, it also doubles as a new and comfortable social space for customers.
Following the concepts of high quality, sense of participation and personal shopping experience, the brand-new retail model aims to meet the demands of consumption upgrade and improve the quality of customers’ lives rather than overturn the traditional retail style.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: From retail to hotel and other formats, we have experienced almost every brand new store. And finally we focused on the trade form of hotel brand. So, the idea of creating an immersive experience space comes out.
Later, when our team completed the overall design plan, many of the product lines that we are seeing now were developed backward from space design, and Tongrentang's almost perfect endorsement allowed this backward process to be realized.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project started in May 2019 and finished in December 2019 in Beijing.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Probably in 2014, Tongrentang seems to have encountered bottleneck. The selling form relying on traditional stores urgently needs to be changed, so the brand proposed a strategic transformation from products to services at that time.
After proposing the transformation, Tongrentang and we began field investigations at home and abroad. From retail to hotel and other formats, we have experienced almost every brand new store. And finally we focused on the trade form of hotel brand. So, the idea of creating an immersive experience space comes out.
CHALLENGE: The first breakthrough lies in the initial investigation on retail industry and the final set of trade form. Secondly, the brand tried to find some well-known foreign design teams. However, because the foreign designers did not really understand the business model and accurate needs of the well-established domestic brands, they eventually failed to give a design plan. Later, when our team completed the overall design plan, many of the product lines that we are seeing now were developed backward from space design, and Tongrentang's almost perfect endorsement allowed this backward process to be realized.
