The Design

About Park Lane Complex Pusat Penjualan

Park Lane Complex adalah sebuah pusat penjualan di Guangzhou, Tiongkok, dengan luas 2.164 meter persegi. Interiornya memadukan halaman dalam tradisional dengan bangunan bergaya Barat serta arkade pejalan kaki untuk meningkatkan sirkulasi. Sebuah halaman sentral membentang di kedua lantai dan menghubungkannya secara visual. Pintu masuk di lantai dua mengikuti tata letak lingkar persegi yang berfungsi sebagai area penyambutan sekaligus ruang pamer. Travertin merah menambahkan kehangatan dan tekstur pada interior bernuansa netral. Ruang makan privat menggunakan kisi-kisi kayu menyerupai anyaman untuk menyeimbangkan cahaya dan privasi.

Unique Properties: Guangzhou's dynamic cityscape, shaped by its geography and commerce, epitomizes the blending of north-south and east-west cultures. Waterfrom Design highlight this synthesis through spatial design, seamlessly integrating traditional courtyards with Western-style buildings and pedestrian arcade. Our choice of materials, such as red travertine from the Middle East, pays homage to Guangzhou's Lingnan culture "red standstone" while also exemplifying its cross-regional approach to material sourcing from the West.
Dimensions & Packaging: Project Area: 2164 square meters

Production Technology: Waterfrom Design integrate courtyards and pedestrian arcade to create efficient interior circulation. The second-floor entrance is designed in a layout resembling the Chinese character "回", doubling as a welcoming area and display space. A central courtyard spans both floors, illuminating their relationship.
Design Challenge: Lingnan's original cultural aesthetics were often ornate and intricate, featuring common elements like carvings and colored glass. To present their culture in a more abstract way, Waterfrom Design rely on spatial circulation and material choices to convey the city's historical context. This approach ensures that despite its modernization, the architecture remains compatible with local traditions.
Research: In addition to material selection, many spaces within the venue draw inspiration from traditional Guangzhou festivals and gatherings, such as the commonly observed lantern parades. Waterfrom Design incorporate symbolic elements into sleek and transparent glass lamp posts, transforming the space into a different atmosphere after dark.
Inspiration: In southern cities like Guangzhou, commercial ports have shaped a diverse architectural landscape blending Eastern and Western styles. Traditional courtyards and modern Western-style buildings coexist, defining the city's character. Leveraging "blank spaces" in both styles, Water From Design optimize spatial layout by integrating courtyards and covered walkways, enhancing indoor circulation and maximizing space efficiency for seamless indoor-outdoor transitions.
Project Duration: Located in Guangzhou, China, this project is started in May 2023 and completed in September 2023.
Operation Flow: Adjacent to the entrance, a long courtyard hosts a café on the first floor. The main wall extends upwards, blending with sculptural elements like split rock-like stairs and a bar area. Red sandstone dominates the visual landscape, adding warmth and texture to the neutral interior, creating a memorable ambiance. The private dining hall, strategically positioned away from the main circulation pathways, sits in a secluded corner opposite the courtyard. Drawing inspiration from floral walls, it employs a lattice-like wooden grille technique, balancing light and privacy effectively.
