Design Details

Unique Properties
With light and shadow intertwined, Ying Photography Studio features natural vibes as the basis for arranging the overall space elements. Geometric blocks and orderly lines match each other to outline the unpretentious beauty of space, where the pure and specific design methods interpret the aesthetic of the fusion of material and spatial ambiance.
Inspiration
The designer believes that incompleteness is a simple and advanced beauty which describes a kind of thinking, presents a kind of aesthetics, and refers to a kind of concept. The space without any decorative elements can express the unique effect brought by the thick and heavy materials, making the space return to its essence.
Research
The rough exposed elements are refined to make the design style return to the most authentic original form. Each material reveals its own texture, unfolding the aesthetic Zen energy, and allowing visitors to feel the coexistence of relaxation and emptiness, order and meditation.
Challenge
With modernist architectural techniques, the stairs coiled in an interesting form and structure create a sense of flow and an entertaining atmosphere, arousing the sentiments of visitors. The logo with personal characteristics reflects the distinctive modern design aesthetics. The micro-cement and the interweaving of block construction enrich the space vibes.
Realization and Technology
Complicated decorations avoided, the entrance adopts a large curved facade, where the white wall and concrete floor build a calm and balanced appeal, attracting visitors to explore the inside of the studio.
Operation and Interaction
The integration of shooting and interactive functions is another detail of the space. The object placement and unity of function provide visual and aesthetic elements for the photography studio. The spatial vibes and aesthetic artistic conception also constitute a proper echo and fusion to create an immersive shooting venue.
Project Duration and Location
Ying Photography Studio was designed in September 2021 and completed in March 2023 in Hangzhou, China.
Specifications
On one side, the office blends with art decorations to present a workplace full of a contemporary artistic sense. A concise design approach incorporated with decorative structures and heavy thick materials with grainy surfaces makes the space three-dimensional with an aesthetic sense.
