Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The design of lobby artwork that presented is inspired by The famous British poet Keats's poem "The Four Seasons of Life" since the hand-made brass artwork spreads the shadows of the English characters of the elements of the four seasons of life through the natural light. Ultimately,The four seasons idea not only symbolically reflect the perception of life but the different stages of life are like the change of the four seasons.
- Inspiration
- A very ingenious idea has been presented throughout the pure white Corian decorated main area while the every detail of brass line on the floor as well as curve of the ceiling wall raises a sense of touching soft woman’s skins by referring to the mobilized structure of the foyal in Masa Group project.
- Research
- the design pretends to offer the guests more relaxed and pleasant feeling to have themselves into the space.Additionally, the partition display perspective is being used to arrange the space while the soft fabric armchair and atomizing fireplace are combined to create a rich visual sense and energy, which represents the nature of vitality in a reasonable way.The very nature of gorgeous sky resonates its counterpart which is being presented,while the whole room lights itself spontaneously as the rest part of the perfect duet.
- Challenge
- In the process of construction, I encountered the problem of details closing and the combination with various materials. Because the construction team is the customer's own, sometimes I cannot understand the requirements of our design team. Fortunately, the final effect reached the expectation.
- Realization and Technology
- Corleone, brass, terrazzo, wood
- Project Duration and Location
- The project is based in Shanghai and will start in November 2018 and end in June 2019.
