Nota Architects

Nota Architects was founded by Shiyun Qian in 2014, with a commitment to creating designs that promote sustainable lifestyles, focusing on Biophilia.

Nota’s practice is grounded in a multidisciplinary, interactive approach, offering pioneering design strategies with a “curative” mindset and a “contextual research” methodology. This approach infuses each project with unique value and lasting vitality.

Notable works by Nota include: PAC Place-making, FOODIE SOCIAL 2.0 at the Hall of Sun, part of the China Pavilion exhibition at the 18th Venice Architecture Biennale, the Two-Three-House Distillery, which won the Sustainable Rural Construction Award, Seesaw Coffee Huaihai 755, and the HEYTEA Hangzhou Guoda flagship store — all of which have had a significant influence in China.

Nota and its founder, Shiyun Qian, have been honored with prestigious accolades, including recognition in AD100 as one of the Top 100 Most Influential Architects and Interior Designers in China.

Nota’s design works have been widely featured and reported by major professional media outlets both in China and internationally.
