Design Details

Unique Properties
The interior design adheres to its external image and visual elements, actively excavates the space value between buildings and surrounding areas in limited land space, and forms multiple indoor and outdoor spaces with different tastes. From the three aspects of ecological protection, green energy conservation and space comfort, the designers put forward a forward-looking design strategy to achieve the ultimate goal of sustainable development.
Inspiration
It breaks through the paradigm of interior design and finds a brand-new expression that perfectly combines architectural beauty, contemporary art, humanistic thinking, natural flavor and modern decorative materials, highlights the international characteristics of the headquarters, and expresses the forward-looking concept of environmental protection and energy conservation, with brand-new expression.
Research
The proportion of beauty is bound to embody the mechanical characteristics of materials. The load-bearing column of the lobby vividly interprets this concept with elegant and fashionable modeling. The top of the upright column naturally changes from a straight line to an arc, spreading like a crown, and the light and shade of the light and shadow cleverly outline the branches of the giant trees.
Challenge
One of the highlights of the design is the lecture hall. In the arc of "mountains surrounded by water", the undulating wooden ceiling is placed on the top of the space. Like the silhouette of mountains, it winds through the top, becoming an abstract nature. The careful collocation of soft clothing accessories and the texture of materials and fabrics create a unique style and artistic feeling, and create a clean, pure, natural and simple space without losing details.
Realization and Technology
The whole space is not green, but it seems full of greenery. Under the modern building materials, the uncanny workmanship of nature is abstractly reproduced in such an imaginative form, which can't help but amaze people. Its unique modeling beauty has a three-point slim figure, but also a majestic temperament, which exudes extreme expressive power and brings a strong visual shock to the viewer.
Operation and Interaction
The layered changed indoor atrium maximizes introduces sunlight, air and green into the room to the greatest extent, so that people can interact while visiting, and strengthen the sense of flow of each layer of space.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in October 2018 in Guiyang and finished in October 2019 in Guiyang.
Specifications
The project covers a total of 24960 square meters.
