Starbucks Coffee Tasting at Vanke’s Living AIR Showroom

If you’ve been stuck at your desk too long, craving fresh air, a bit of retail therapy, or just a great cup of coffee—Vanke HanYang International has something for you this weekend. Their special coffee tasting event offers more than caffeine: it’s a breath of designed living, with space, comfort, and convenience all on display.

The highlight? You’ll taste curated Starbucks coffee, and can even take home a pack of beans—plus explore the innovative 88㎡ "living AIR" concept home, a first in the upgraded A+ district of HanYang International.

What’s the living AIR Concept?

The living AIR series is a new direction in compact urban housing from Vanke. Specifically, the 88㎡ layout is the first in this range to offer true north-south cross-ventilation, while positioning the living room, master bedroom, and second bedroom all to face south. That’s one more south-facing room than typical 88㎡ units usually provide—bringing the kind of daylight and comfort once reserved for much larger (100㎡+) layouts.

Why This Layout Works for City Living

This isn’t just a smaller version of a traditional 100㎡ three-bedroom. Instead, Vanke started from scratch, rethinking the use of every square metre. The design focuses on human-scale comfort: furniture placement, circulation paths, and open activity zones were all optimised for an 88㎡ footprint. The result is a layout that feels more spacious than its size suggests—ideal for modern urban households.

Future-Proof Living: Space for 30 Years

The 88㎡ unit also anticipates long-term family needs. It incorporates three key design philosophies: space for growth, modular furniture options, and extensive storage solutions. These allow the home to adapt over time, meeting the demands of residents at different life stages. Whether you’re a couple or part of a three-generation household, built-in storage systems ensure functionality and organisation at every phase.

Where Is HanYang International?

Located near the Second Ring Road and Line 3 of the Wuhan Metro, Vanke HanYang International sits in the bustling Wangjiawan business district. The area is already well served by amenities, including McDonald’s and the Yucail Kindergarten. The A+ upgrade zone, where the living AIR show flat is located, is part of a larger urban renewal project aiming to set new standards for city living.

What Can Visitors Expect This Weekend?

This Saturday, visitors to the HanYang International site can enjoy a complimentary Starbucks coffee tasting. Alongside the drinks, Vanke is showcasing its 88㎡ living AIR model home—a prototype for future urban residences. Attendees will also have the chance to take home specially selected Starbucks coffee beans. The event highlights both the coffee experience and the potential of compact, well-designed city homes.
