The Design

About Skyline Bay Community Center

Skyline Bay is a community center built in Chengdu, China. The building has a construction area of 920 square meters and a two-story double-height layout that forms a semi-enclosed space with partitions but no full separation. The facade is clad in silver-white aluminum plate and champagne gold perforated aluminum plate, shaped into flowing curves that recall butterfly wings. Curved lines continue inside, creating quiet corners for reflection. The design draws on the nearby Shaxi waterway and wetland park and follows a waterfront island concept.

Production Technology
Silver-white aluminum plate and champagne gold perforated aluminum plate are used to simulate the flexible curve lines of the butterfly wings, so that the shadow level of the architectural lines can be strengthened, giving people a "gilding and silvering" and amazing stylish visual impact. Silver, champagne gold and light blue create visual enjoyment in an orderly manner, presenting a sense of rhythm, showing the level and texture of light and shadow in the sunshine.

SkylineBay is eager to break free and pursue freedom, and its architectural form with a sense of design and extreme aesthetics updates the current modern architectural style.

This project echoes Shaxi and the Wetland Park, builds the concept of ‘Water Island’, and creates a high-end dynamic intelligent community, the Waterfront Ecological Island: the melodious melody and romantic rhythm of Shaxi located to the north of the plot are extracted to create an amazing trend of science and technology life together with science and technology art, and trigger customers' beautiful imagination of waterfront charm and science and technology life style.

Operation Flow
The entrance uses the front space to present the initial image of the project and create a sense of belonging and anticipation. While the internal space has an independent and complete flow line, its core function is always actively interwoven with the flow line through the space volume. The interior design adopts circular curves, creating visual beauty while leaving a corner for people to meditate, creating a sense of solitude. Moreover, it forms an independent and semi-enclosed island space, catering to customers' personal and noble experience demands. People can not help but stop to stay, explore its mystery, leaving endless reverie, but also the spire circle crowd gather a place of platinum social place.
