Production Technology

The metal frame in the private reception area adds up a sense of ritual and balances the space in the rectangular axis. In the expression of the light and shadow effects, it filters out the strong natural light with glass bricks, and then introduces the light into the room to be less dazzling in the space. The fine straight lines on the ceiling use renewable PVC wood grains and steel plates to create natural comfort with the beige marble floors that extend to the wall.

Design Challenge

The original building of the swimming pool club had a low ceiling, making people feel suppressed in space. The design team avoids the impact of the building girder on the elevation by hiding the passages of various pipelines. It also adopts an open design in the middle of the pool ceiling, supported with ripple metal plates to echo the water surface of the pool, thus highlighting the overall sense of ventilation and comfort of the space. The dressing room looks simple and dignified, where well arranged cabinets meet the storage needs of multiple users.

Research

The artwork area at the entrance to the first floor takes an unconventional approach to set up a self breathing glass ball chandelier for interaction of man and space, glistening like fireflies in mountains. The constituent stone wall is vaguely infiltrated with the light, highlighting the mid air architectural layers, while splitting the space to form an ethereal artistic conception.

Inspiration

Futurism Sales Center, located on a hill in Chongqing City, is shaped like a box in the exterior facade. The design team takes inspiration from mountain fireflies and, incorporating the local culture creates a high end clubhouse of distinct humanistic experience and marketing attributes.

Project Duration

The project was located in Chong Qing, China. It was finished in January 2020.

Operation Flow

The underground floor is accessible via a staircase. The right side of the reception desk is connected to the art corridor, where art decorations at the end attract the line of sight, making the space not so monotonous. The left side is the swimming pool.
