About Grand Overture Sala d'Hospitalitat

Grand Overture és una sala d'hospitalitat d'uns 1000 metres quadrats a Xangai, la Xina. Les estructures arquejades guien el flux de llum i ombra a través de diversos nivells. La pedra blanc trencat, la fusta de tons terrosos i els accents metàl·lics formen capes de textura i calidesa. Els patrons d'incrustacions de pedra d'estil Art Déco i el paviment de pedra en espiga fan referència a les cases comercials històriques de la regió. Una escala corbada condueix els visitants cap amunt, i el vestíbul dels ascensors conserva indicadors de planta d'època. Els arcs clàssics i les corbes barroques es reinterpreten mitjançant un enfocament geomètric modern.
