The Growing House Art Gallery in Zhengzhou is a poetic fusion of art, architecture, and nature—an immersive sanctuary where culture blossoms like a flower in the heart of the city. Covering three levels and 3,000 square meters, the gallery welcomes visitors into a world where light, water, and greenery intertwine to create spaces of reflection, creativity, and harmony.



Inspired by the natural form of a blooming bud, the design expresses freedom and vitality. Each level tells a story: the first floor opens with an art corridor and lounge bar, illuminated by Catellani & Smith’s sculptural lights and anchored by the wooden centerpiece “Vitality.” The space feels alive, as light dances upon textures and forms, echoing nature’s quiet rhythm.



Upstairs, the “Jungle Secret Garden” delights children and families with playful designs by QEEBOO and Barcelona Design, while the VIP Lounge presents Wang Zhixin’s “Fairy Child” trilogy, a moving reflection on innocence and hope. Downstairs, the banquet hall and private dining rooms glow with Spanish designer Jaime Hayón’s works and exquisite Chinese lacquer art by Hong Yidong, celebrating a dialogue between East and West.



From the shimmering silver-leaf walls to the serene skylit pool, every detail evokes the harmony of human craftsmanship and natural beauty. Sustainable materials, recycled glass art, and light-responsive textures bring the concept of “living with nature” to life.



The Growing House Art Gallery is more than a building—it is a cultural landmark where art and architecture breathe together. It invites every visitor to slow down, reconnect with nature, and rediscover the quiet joy of beauty. In doing so, it transforms the rhythm of city life into a tranquil symphony of light, water, and imagination—a timeless reflection of the human spirit’s pursuit of harmony.
