Inspiration
My inspiration comes from flowing water.Through the plastic and smooth lines, a continuous facade shape and the continuity of spatial circulation are created. The staircase is hidden in the natural and smooth facade; connecting the upper and lower floors.The continuity design of the space avoids a large number of wall divisions and provides a good place for temporary display in the space.
