Grand Interview

Your innovative integration of a coffee house concept within the Shijiazhuang Vanke Sales Exhibition Center challenges traditional sales center designs - could you elaborate on how this strategic decision reflects your understanding of modern urban lifestyles?

In the design of the Vanke Sales and Exhibition Center in Shijiazhuang, we innovative incorporated the concept of a cafe, a decision that was not made arbitrarily but rather based on a deep understanding of modern urban lifestyles. In modern society, as people's lives become increasingly fast-paced, the demand for leisure and relaxation has also grown stronger. Cafe as an important part of urban culture, not only provide a place for people to socialize and relax but also embody a lifestyle attitude.By integrating a cafe into the sales and exhibition center, we aimed to break away from the monotonous and boring display model of traditional sales centers and create a more comfortable and relaxed environment for home buyers. Here, buyers can not only learn about the detailed information of the project but also engage in in-depth conversations with sales staff and other buyers while enjoying coffee, thereby gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the project and making a more informed purchasing decision.This design strategy not only reflects our deep understanding of modern urban lifestyles but also demonstrates our meticulous attention to the needs of home buyers. We believe that through such innovative design, we can enhance the home-buying experience for buyers and add more cultural connotations and added value to the project itself.

The hexagonal ceiling pattern in Shijiazhuang Vanke Sales Exhibition Center draws inspiration from coffee's chemical structure - how did this creative interpretation help you achieve both aesthetic appeal and emotional resonance with visitors?

About the ceiling design concept of the Exhibition Center,I utilized a hexagonal ceiling pattern inspired by the chemical structure of coffee.Coffee,as a widely loved beverage,features a unique visual aesthetic in its hexagonal molecular structure,which also embodies a profound cultural connotation and a sense of life.By incorporating this hexagonal structure into the ceiling design,I aimed to create a modern yet warm atmosphere,allowing visitors to experience a distinctive aesthetic sensation from the moment they enter the center.Moreover,the hexagonal ceiling pattern symbolizes connection and communication.Each hexagonal unit serves as a small social space,encouraging people to interact and engage with each other.This design aligns with Vanke's pursuit of community interaction and harmonious coexistence as a real estate developer,and is more likely to evoke emotional resonance among visitors,allowing them to appreciate the beauty of the design while also feeling Vanke's vision for a better future community life.

What inspired your decision to position the building model display in the back area of Shijiazhuang Vanke Sales Exhibition Center, contrary to conventional sales center layouts, and how does this arrangement enhance the visitor experience?

About the location of the architectural model ,I decided to place the architectural model display in the rear area of the center,contrary to the traditional layout of sales centers.This decision was primarily based on a reflection and innovation of the traditional layout.Traditional sales center soften position the architectural model prominently in the front area to attract visitors attention.However,I believed that this layout might cause visitors to focus too much on the model itself,neglecting the overall experience provided by the sales and exhibition center.To break with this tradition,I chose to place the architectural model display in the rear area of the center.This arrangement offers several benefits.Firstly,it encourages visitors to explore the sales and exhibition center more deeply,gradually understanding the project's features and advantages through a series of displays and interactions.Secondly,placing the model in the rear area provides visitors with a more private and focused viewing environment,allowing them to appreciate and understand the architectural details more closely.Finally,this layout also helps create a"treasure hunt"-like experience,where visitors discover surprises as they explore,enhancing their engagement and satisfaction.By adopting this innovative layout,I hope to provide visitors with a richer and more profound experience,allowing them to appreciate Vanke's projects while also feeling the charm and fun brought by the design.
