Unique Properties: Shang He Galley is a multi functional sales center tailored for Landsea Kaifeng Bianjing Xihuafu project by XY + Z. In addition to XY + Z's consistent green and humanistic design concept, the designer unfold Bianjing's amazing prosperity described in the masterpiece “Qingming Shanghe Tu ”（ Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival) in an artistic way that makes the world marvel again.
Dimensions & Packaging: Project Size: 1050 m2
Tags: Interior Space Design
Production Technology: The project used the corrugated marble, metal carve and mold, which are all customized. It requires strictly controlled modeling, and the relatively longer production, however the effect well worth the effort. The modeling came out exactly the same as the masterpiece “Qingming Shanghe Tu ” ， perfectly realizing the artistic and unique expression as expectd.
Design Challenge: Ground floor planning mainly meets the commercial functions of the sales office, and the consumer journey: the entrance, reception, display, early and further negotiation, sales control and other areas is reasonably planned.
The second floor is more as an art space. The top design conforms to the original herringbone structure of the building, and the Oriental wisdom of the unity of heaven and man is hidden in the processing method of following the trend. In addition to daily art display; it can also be used to hold special exhibitions. The multi-functional hall on the same floor can be used as a meeting room and a lecture hall for traditional Chinese culture.
Through the large area of floor glass on the, the designer uses the method of borrowing scenery to get a panoramic view of the courtyard. With water as a mirror, the reflection of the building itself also becomes a part of the scene. The so-called "you have me, and I have you" is the blending of inside and outside, divided while unified, conveying the ancient and profound oriental philosophy.
The 3-meter-high background wall of the reception desk is made of a natural volcanic rock material "cosmic miracle" developed by the design team which is green, low-carbon and of natural hole texture, The visual effect of starlight is like the vast universe. The reception desk is composed of stone and metal. The 1cm thick steel plate is directly inserted into the ground, and part of the tabletop is set on the water ripple marble, which forms a strong sense of geometric composition.
The sand table area is surrounded by the super white art glass "Jiangshan" (Mountain and River). The pattern on the glass is a continuous mountain shape composed of lines of different lengths. The continuous fluctuation also echoes the curve structure on the top of the building. The pattern is carefully arranged by the designer. Due to the large size of the glass, it is difficult to install. The height of the largest single piece of glass is close to 8 meters, which is quite shocking. At the same time, it has become the best background for the central “Qingming Shanghe Tu ”.
On both sides of the river, there are overlapping lakes, clouds and trees, sand, and a thousand ridings in the center, singing and appreciating the scenery. The two are integrated into one, and the real and the virtual intersect. The past prosperity of Bianjing emerged in the air, far away and ethereal, presenting the theme of the sales office "Shang He" (Riverside Scene) vividly in front of the world.
Research: Researches were mainly focused on the understanding of the site, especially the historical and cultural features of the city Kaifeng, which gave us the inspiration of using the master piece ” “Qingming Shanghe Tu “.
Inspiration: The design of Shang He Gallery organically integrates the local history and culture with the humanistic, sunshine, green and high-tech concepts of Landsea. The architectural, furniture, decoration, calligraphy and painting, folk skills and other elements of the Bianjing city reunion in the space, become the new interpretation of Kaifeng’s memory.
Kaifeng, known as Bianjing in ancient times, is known as the ancient capital of eight dynasties in the Chinese history. It has bred a far-reaching "Song culture" that inherits from the Han and Tang Dynasties and influenced the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The great Song Dynasty is the most brilliant era in Kaifeng’s history and Chinese feudal history. Historical books even describe Kaifeng, the capital city of Song Dynasty, was one in absolute advantage in prosperity among the region. Today's well-known masterpiece “Qingming Shanghe Tu ”depicts the bustling scene and beautiful natural scenery on both sides of the Bianhe River in Kaifeng City, capital of Northern Song Dynasty. In this case, “Qingming Shanghe Tu ”is taken as a symbol of Kaifeng's history and culture, combined with the local paper-cut skills, the use of modern metal carving technology and Chinese red to interpret it, becoming the most eye-catching part in the whole space.
By using three-dimensional composition, contrast, borrowing scenery and other artistic techniques, the designer presents a profound oriental philosophical wisdom in the opposition and unity of light and shade, virtual and reality, inside and outside, opening and closing. Through modern technology, Bianjing city's past prosperity is completely reinterpreted in a brand new and impressive way.
