About Sun Valley Kapangidwe ka Mkati mwa Malo Osambira

Sun Valley ndi kapangidwe ka mkati mwa malo osambira komwe kanapangidwa ngati malo a thanzi ndi machiritso ku Tianjin, China. Malo osambira achikhalidwe anasinthidwa kukhala magawo olumikizana, kuphatikizapo bala ya madzi, malo odyera, malo a machiritso, ndi malo olipirira. Maferemu achitsulo opindika, makoma a pulasitala okhota mbali ziwiri, utoto waluso wa ku Italy wokhala ndi maonekedwe apadera, ndi matabwa olimba ndizo zimapanga malo aakulu. Machitidwe a kuwala kofewa ndi kapangidwe ka kayendedwe ka madzi kokonzedwa mwaukadaulo zimathandizira kumasuka ndi kusunga mphamvu. Kapangidwe kotseguka kamatsogolera alendo mosavuta pakati pa magawo onse.

Unique Properties
This design transforms a traditional bathhouse into a multisensory healing space, integrating poetic Oriental aesthetics with modern spatial logic. Through the interplay of flowing hyperbolic surfaces, minimalist structures, and emotional lighting, it elevates the bathing experience into a ritual of comfort and inner balance.
Dimensions & Packaging
The project includes water bar, dining, healing, and cashier areas, integrating complex functions within a seamless spatial system. Hyperbolic wall geometry, parametric pool overflow design, modular furniture, and intelligent lighting define the technical structure and spatial programming across all zones.

Production Technology
The project employs curved steel framing, hyperbolic plaster walls, Italian textured art paint, real solid wood, soft lighting systems, and parametric water circulation design. These materials and technologies are precisely coordinated to achieve seamless transitions, sensory resonance, and energy-efficient performance.
Design Challenge
The biggest challenge was avoiding repetition with the previous store while achieving meaningful innovation. Balancing sensory aesthetics with spatial functionality required overcoming constraints in traditional perceptions of bathing spaces. Integrating healing, dining, and hospitality required cross-industry research and bold spatial redefinition.
Research
User centered research focused on elevating customer experience in bathing spaces. Methods included service model benchmarking, behavior flow mapping, and material testing. Tools involved spatial simulation and parametric modeling. Stakeholders included designers, brand operators, and customers. Results showed sensory immersion and service segmentation improved satisfaction and brand perception.
Inspiration
Inspired by the rise of emotional consumption and wellness demand, the design draws from five-star hotel hospitality, natural rhythm, and Eastern philosophy. It seeks to redefine bathing spaces as holistic healing destinations, where comfort, service, and sensory stimulation merge into a contemporary sanctuary for the body and soul.
Project Duration
The project started in February 2024 in Tianjin, China and finished in December 2024.
Operation Flow
Guests enter a fluid space where visual openness and service transparency guide movement. Interactive touchpoints such as the open water bar, healing zones, and breakfast area create smooth transitions. Spatial layering and light dynamics respond to user rhythm, making the entire experience emotionally engaging and restorative.
