Kokaistudios chose a minimal and sleek space for NIO‘s delivery center and offices in Shanghai, China.

NIO’s largest delivery center to date follows a lifestyle-oriented interior design template created by Kokaistudios for the electric car brand. Housed inside a former factory, the building is newly renovated to become a local landmark thanks to a striking louvered facade.

NIO’s largest delivery center to date follows a lifestyle-oriented interior design template created by Kokaistudios for the electric car brand. Housed inside a former factory, the building is newly renovated to become a local landmark thanks to a striking louvered facade.

The former factory’s building comprises three linked volumes. The first houses offices, while the second two combine a reception, waiting area, and lounge to become a site of imagined ceremony: this is where visitors become initiated into the NIO brand, becoming users of not only NIO’s electric vehicles but also its broader lifestyle concept. Behind these connected buildings is an expansive warehouse, which now serves as a car delivery area.

The most striking element of Kokaistudios’ renovation is a bright silver facade. A system of vertical aluminum profile louvers follows the curved ‘bridges’ that connect the three buildings, resulting in an undulating exterior and unified flow that appears to move with the viewer. Effectively an open screen masking the linked volumes behind, it affords plentiful natural light into both the office and visitor area. Highly visible from the street, the facade transforms the building into a local landmark, all the while resonating with NIO’s brand identity of purity and elegance.

Inside, the entrance is an airy, welcoming space that sets the tone for visitors’ experience. On the one side is a guest reception desk, and on the other, a display featuring NIO’s lifestyle-oriented products including books, clothing, and food. Behind is a soft play area aimed at the delivery center’s youngest visitors: so-called ‘Joy Camp’, they are a feature of the recently redefined NIO design template that takes direct inspiration from the family home. Further reinforcing the delivery center’s strong lifestyle focus, an adjacent lounge invites parents to take a break while keeping an eye on their children.

From here, visitors walk through a gently curved bridge connecting the second and third buildings. With interactive display panels showing information about the brand to add to the sense of discovery and initiation, the passageway opens onto a large lounge. Envisaged as a space for users to relax before and after taking collection of their cars, it also includes a bar and dining area.

Realized in just seven months, the NIO Delivery Center has fast become a landmark in Jiading district thanks to its distinctive facade. Not only is it highly visible from the street, it also evokes the sleek lines and smooth movement of the electric vehicles themselves. Inside, the delivery center stays true to Kokaistudios’ redefined design template for NIO spaces. The interiors are reflective of NIO’s brand principles — pure, human, progressive, sophisticated — by way of instruments including a muted palette, nature-inspired materials, multimedia displays, and a palpable focus on comfort.
