Design Details

Unique Properties
The shared space is defined by openness and integration. A shelf full of artworks and books erects in the space, functioning as part of the wall and making a difference to visual effects. The light hues balance the massiveness of architectural structures, and also enrich the sense of layering of the space. The water bar is closely connected to the resting area and negotiation area, together forming a socializing anchor point.
Inspiration
This project is about exploring the boundary between the near and the far, and finding the balance between nature and the bustling city. It's a space that enables people to get close to nature while immersing in artistic interior scenes. The project is situated at a plot which boasts enchanting lake view, isolated from the bustling downtown area. Taking advantage of the natural surroundings, the design team tried to build a space that integrates with mountains and water.
Research
The project presents a living environment that connects to nature and keeps a certain distance from the bustling downtown of the city. Superior lake landscape resources not only fully showcase local characteristics, but also indicate a direction for future lifestyles. The project emphasizes bringing life back to nature, and presents various possibilities for the future.
Challenge
Three challenges confronted by the design team as follows: 1. How to create an emotional space that makes residents immersed in a natural interior space the same as the outdoor environment? 2. How to express the landscaped place hidden in the prosperous city and build a lively functional space that is available for residents to image a wonderful life? 3. How to artfully integrate people"s spiritual world, natural environment and space, in order to interpret the position of this sales center?
Realization and Technology
Main materials: marble, bronze brushed stainless steel, steel net, wood veneer
Operation and Interaction
Featuring artistic aesthetics and minimalism, the space stimulates people to interact with nature. The window blinds reveal part of the outside scenery, and immerse the visitors in the beauty of nature. The entire wall at the in-depth negotiation area is highlighted by books and artworks, without any other adornments. The sunken structure breaks the empty feeling while also enriching visual experiences. Moreover, the circular seating booth provides different angles of view.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in November 2019 and finished in May 2020 in China.
Specifications
The area of project is 1000 square meter.

Guiyang, mountains and water, openness, integration, artistic aesthetics, minimalism, sales center
