Treasure Cove, Shanghai Disneyland, Shanghai Disney Resort

Inspired by the characters, stories and locations of the popular Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise, Treasure Cove is a pirate haven—an island that’s been taken over by pirates. Pirates are in control of Treasure Cove, creating their own society in the existing English and Spanish landmarks. Thanks to its interesting history, Treasure Cove is a mix of architectural styles and influences. Before the Spanish arrived, the island was home to native peoples.

Nanjing Insun Feeling Cinema

Finalist 2017
Insun Lotte Cinema

This Nanjing cinema is located next to historical buildings but also chic and modern architecture, perfectly illustrating the East meets West vibe. Thus inspired, One Plus Partnership combined traditional and modern elements to highlight the importance of sound in movies from characters’ dialogue to sound effects and musical scores. It was challenging to turn this conceptual idea into interior design as sound is itself invisible, so the designers created a 3D portrayal of sound waves.

By leveraging the sidewalk and the unique raised pattern of the brick, the team conceived simple graphics that change as pedestrians walked by—creating a different experience from left to right and right to left.
