Production Technology

In terms of engineering costs, since the cost of the integrated acrylic board exceeds Party A's budget, after repeated verification and revisions, the designer split the version in the original draft reasonably, customized acrylic parts of different sizes, and then assembled and installed them, which not only greatly reduced the cost, but also ensured the beauty of the landscape.

Design Challenge

Large projects often face a variety of challenges, mainly reflected in two aspects: labor and cost. To set up such a massive water curtain in this project, advanced calculations are required for temperature control, flow rate, orientation, waveform, and other parameters to ensure precise control. In the actual construction process, waterproofing and moisture-proofing of the floor are of utmost importance.

Research

This case is located in Binhai New Area, Tianjin. As the pearl of Bohai Bay, the region is blessed with a unique geographical advantage. It is currently the largest and highest-level 5S store in the region, which is also of great strategic significance. Based on the environment, designers extract the element of "water", allowing the ocean imagery that symbolizes vastness and wisdom to run through the entire space. Creating a top-down water system landscape through later soft decoration.

The BMW brand advocates satisfying the greatest wishes of customers with the latest science and technology and the most advanced ideas in a vast space and time, promotes BMW joy, which is deeply compatible with the lifestyle of contemporary people who pursue vitality, passion and freedom. The designer comprehensively considered the local environment, conformed to the urban spirit, and reinterpreted the existing space with sustainability as the design principle.

Project Duration

The project started in August 2022 in Tianjin and finished in January 2023 in Tianjin.
