Design Details
- Unique Properties
- In the 12m high, 9m open atrium, the dome gives people a sensation of limitless fantasy where everything becomes empty and is silently observed. While one wanders here, his eyes will unconsciously follow the bright side of light and the dark side of shadow, and when skimming over the pure white texture, regular lines of indentations, and cascading hollow details, a poetic image of layered mountains will arise in mind, taking people into a fully artistic realm of freedom.
- Inspiration
- Instead of using intricate adornment, the designer chooses to reverse function and deconstruct form. By extracting simple shapes and bright elements from the complexity of all nature, creativity is tied to the spatial scenes to radiate constant vitality in the harmony of functional layout, aesthetics, and sensory pleasure.
- Research
- Poly City Gather, a 1,250 square meter building with a location in Shijiazhuang, China, is one of the top high end City series properties of Poly Group, centered on the CBD and with an effective road network. The symbiosis of culture and art opens the double cover of healthy living and artistic taste of the city.
- Challenge
- The concept of art, humanities, and health runs throughout the entire project, which has resulted in the final realization of the value resonance and spiritual harmony between the space design and the product itself, as well as the expression of the limitless implications of symbiosis between nature, art, architecture, and space.
- Realization and Technology
- As a joint area, the midair corridor is unique in its natural beauty, enabling visitors to feel the emotion of nature and art while breathing freely. With a height of 12 meters and a stunning symmetrical pattern, the elegant marble encloses a moving scene in solemn vestibule. Besides, the designer weakens the contour of the walls, adds the partitions of transparent glass and the curved array of chandeliers, and uses light as a medium, to convey the artistic aesthetics of spatial texture.
- Operation and Interaction
- The ceiling vein is designed as a landscape cycle, accompanied by light and ripples. With red tone as the emotional touch point in VIP room, the details of the sidewall texture, metal fireplace and ceiling pleats are linked together, and the warmth is quietly integrated, finally giving people a subtle intuition of painting in painting. The gauze curtain appears to be painted with deep ink drawings as light and shadow filter through the trees, providing moments of admiration and meditation.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project is located in Shijiazhuang, China and finished in August 2022.
