About Kunming Zhonghaihui Delhi Garden Sales Department
Kunming Zhonghaihui Delhi Garden is a sales center interior of 1830 square meters in Kunming, China. The design draws on the flowers of the city, and the floor plan follows the outline of petals. Walls and ceilings are formed as curved surfaces that suggest blooming petals, so that form and function stay in balance. Materials include texture paint, marble, stainless steel and leather. Besides sales, the space offers areas for business exchange, art salons, exhibitions, tea, children's play, private negotiation and fitness.
GBD's Kunming Zhonghaihui Delhi Garden Sales Department exemplifies a contemporary approach to experiential retail architecture that draws upon organic modernist traditions while establishing distinctly innovative spatial propositions. The interior environment appears to engage with mid-century explorations of biomorphic form, perhaps evoking the fluid geometries pioneered by designers working in the organic tradition, yet translates these influences through a distinctly refined material vocabulary suited to luxury hospitality contexts. The undulating ceiling treatment suggests geological formations—perhaps limestone caverns shaped by millennia of water action—while the sculptural bronze partitions function simultaneously as spatial dividers, framing devices, and autonomous sculptural objects worthy of contemplation in their own right. The designers seem to have pursued a deliberate tension between the primordial associations of cave-like enclosure and the sophisticated refinement of carefully curated material finishes, creating spaces that feel both anciently familiar and distinctly contemporary. Technical accomplishment manifests throughout the execution: the seamless ceiling surface maintains consistent curvature without visible joints or transitions, the bronze finish achieves uniform depth and patina across complex compound curves, and the integration of lighting within architectural elements demonstrates sophisticated coordination between multiple design disciplines. The botanical light fixtures merit particular attention, their attenuated stems and luminous heads suggesting pressed flowers or preserved specimens, introducing ephemeral natural references within an otherwise permanent architectural context. Thematically, the environment appears to explore questions of sanctuary and threshold, creating liminal spaces between the commercial exterior world and an interior realm governed by different temporal and sensory rhythms. Visitors are invited to consider how architectural form might cultivate specific qualities of attention and presence, and how material choices communicate values of craftsmanship, permanence, and considered beauty.

- Unique Properties
- The design team hopes that the interior design of the project can be integrated with the spring-like urban character of Kunming, the project site, so they integrate the imagination of flowers into the indoor shape, and the indoor plane layout is the shape of petals. The interior shape is shaped into blooming petals with curved surface shape, which is full of tension and complexity, but the logic is simple and clear, forming a high balance between function and form.

- Design Challenge
- The most difficult part is the curved surface modeling technology of wide opening and closing and full of tension in the space, as well as the connection accuracy and picture unity between each shape and furniture in the space.
From the aspect of the wall, the walls around the sand table are curved like waves, which is full of difficulty in construction. As for the ceiling, the ceiling in the reception area is made into huge petals blooming from top to bottom, the ceiling in the sand plate area is like a huge sucker, and the ceiling in the water bar area is made into a skylight. In terms of furniture and sculpture, the beautiful blooming flowers in the center of the bar are made of fine metal thread, embellished with diamonds, and the petals Large Partition behind the multi-person sofa, the modeling process of bending and rotating sharply inward, these are all challenging places. - Project Duration

- The design team tries to use a way to fantasize about the future, to tell the story of a multi-functional commercial space, to consider the needs of the future living environment on a time scale, and to define the aesthetics of the future living environment. The team makes the space into an imaginative and creative artistic occasion, so that the space can not only meet the module needs of the commercialization of real estate, but also meet the artistic beauty, but also show the unique humanistic impression of Kunming. The space is full of flower-shaped walls and ceiling shapes, installations and furniture, etc., the shape of abnormal shapes is full of challenges in the production process, and the cooperation of outdoor and indoor lighting at the same time, let light and shadow cover the space with a layer of hazy, abstract and natural change.
- Inspiration
- If you think of a city as an individual, the buildings in the city convey the character of the city all the time. Kunming, where the project is located, is a spring-like flower all the year round, which provides inspiration for the design team. therefore, the design team imagines the sales department as a floating island with a sea of dreamy flowers, forming a huge and eternal organism.
