Unique Properties: The project is located in the central of Wuxiang New District in Nanning. Wuxiang New District is a comprehensive area in urban planning as a model of ecological city combining with nature. The entrance is a frame of the "dew-drop sculpture", which ingeniously connects the inside and outside from the very beginning, expressing the artistic perception of "no-boundary". The rippling light burns up at night to enhance the landmark entrance.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project covers a total of 9896 square meters.
Tags: Landscape Design, Natural, Modern, Residence, Light and shadow, Dew-drop, Wuxiang Lake
Production Technology: The black and white marble wall extends horizontally to strengthen the sense of quality and visibility, creating a noble and luxurious atmosphere.
Design Challenge: The light and shadow corridor forms a straight and clear walking path, and the continuous aperture creates a three-dimensional immersive space, creating a dynamic and flowing visual experience for all pedestrians who walk by. The design on the corridor wall is consciously inclined, meanwhile retains a part of the transparent space to allow the external light and shadow gradually leak into the interior.
Research: The final space is a outdoor chatting space. The sunken-seat is enclosed by high and low wooden platforms and green plants to create a quiet and independent space for meeting, communication, meditation and other activities. The zen-landscape rocks and outdoor bonfire perfectly matched, elegant and warm, traveling through time and space, where becomes the home of travelers' faith and soul at this moment.
Inspiration: The idea of "Dew in Wuxiang Lake" is introduced as the inspiration in the design, demonstrating different states of dewdrops in the morning, afternoon and evening with the light and shadow. With the light and shadow, flow and inclusiveness of dew, the design deduces the ingenious echoing relationship between dewdrops and the space.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2019 in Nanning and finished in July 2020 in Nanning.
Operation Flow: In the transparent showcase at the end of the corridor, vortex-shaped installations are exhibited as a gift captured from the nature, bringing the art and life closer.
