Tilt Architecture was engaged by Pukeko Pictures Ltd in March 2018 to provide architectural design services on a new Traditional Chinese Medicine Museum in Zhuhai, China.
The Museum is to be the centerpiece for a large city-scale development which is a Co-operation between Guangdong and Macau Governments. The TCM industrial park is intended to develop and promote the history, use and future of traditional Chinese medicine. The museum is the platform to get this information out to the people.
Our role involved taking the Weta Workshop concept design sketches and developing them into a spatially correct 3D concept model. We used Revit to develop the bulk of the model and Rhinoceros 3D to develop the shape of the ‘lotus leaf’ inspired roof, and the external ‘wings’.
We worked closely with Weta Workshop to ensure the internal space planning would suit the expected number of visitors each day. We also worked with the Chinese Project Managers, local Architects and the governing body, in order to meet their local standards and requirements.
The building was officially opened in August 2025 and is now enlightening visitors on the wonders of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
