The Design

About Guanlan Yipin Sales Center

Guanlan Yipin is a sales center located in Suzhou, China. The design combines an oriental character with a minimalist approach, following the idea of a garden tour that guides visitors through the space. Marble, metal, sandstone and wood set the tone of the interior. Dai Cyan, a traditional Chinese color, appears as marble on a wall six meters wide and ten meters high. Facing the marble wall, eight panels of laminated super-white tempered glass, each 0.8 meters wide and ten meters high, stand beside the landscape stair. Large windows bring natural light and greenery into the interior.

Production Technology
Multiple material adorns the space. Marble, metal, sandstone, wood and so on set the fundamental tone of it. As one of the traditional Chinese colors, Dai Cyan is often used in the costumes of Kunqu Opera, appearing in the space in the form of marble skillfully. The sequential connection part of it, is a series of dense and orderly partition walls . Meanwhile, the process and details are very elegant. The landscape stair is interpreted by wood and art painting together.
Design Challenge
Capturing natural light as well as not seeing the lighting is the key point of the design. Large area of French Windows instantly eliminate the boundary ofindoorand outdoor. The corridor is dotted with trees and stones, bringing the natural landscape indoors and reflecting the harmony between man and nature.

In the process of project creation, the designer grasps the profound understanding of " Minimalist Oriental", and the design vocabulary of deconstructionism making the order, level, form and temperament interweave in multiple ways.
Inspiration
The classical gardens and Suzhou Museum constitute the ancient and modern correspondence between the oriental spirit and minimalism in this city. And also becoming the spiritual background of the sales center for designers. The spatial rhythm of Suzhou architecture and its unique garden experience are the responses of the design to the city. The logic clue of "Garden Tour" runs through, relying on the Oriental context, and giving consideration to both practical function and spiritual care.
Project Duration
The project started in November 2019 in Suzhou and finished in June 2020 in Suzhou.
Operation Flow
The details of this project show the ingenuity of the designers. For example, seeing the light but not the lighting is a key point. The lighting is controlled by the weak current. The later stage of the project can be adjusted according to the site conditions, so as to reduce the engineering repetition and ensure the best visual effect.
