Design Details

- This project is a project of "WHYTE WOOLF" in the largest and populous city of Chongqing "Joy City" in China. Chongqing "Joy City" is also a super shopping center under the most powerful "COFCO" in China, with an operating area of more than 200,000 square meters and great influence.
- Inspiration
- "Tong", Mr.Cai Fangyin invented "Tong" was to simplify the three words of concrete. Minimalist style seems to be a mission of concrete. Many interior and outdoor designers are coincidentally falling in love with this simple concrete. Tadao Anto, a Japanese architect known as the "poet of clear water and concrete", once said that cement and concrete are the highest forms of expression in building materials. "wabi-sabi", though imperfect, complete, and permanent, represents simplicity, humility, and nature. It is an alternative minimalist, simple and noble! The design concept is to keep the space as contemporary with wabi-sabi beauty as possible.
- Challenge
- The biggest challenge is how to make people feel the current global economic situation from the simple decoration and accessories.
- Realization and Technology
- Galvanized snow plate, light steel keel cement pressure plate, micro-cement hole brick, log packaging board and other low-carbon environmental protection materials
- Operation and Interaction
- Under the leadership of the design concept, accurate field measurement and photo site, do the best to retain the original inverted cement column and wall part to the greatest extent, so as to be "simple" but not "ordinary".
- Project Duration and Location
- From September 2021 to December 2021 Chongqing, China
