Unique Properties

The entire parent-child swimming pool uses a gentle color sense, and does not distinguish color in gender intentionally. The black thin-line adds a bit of avant-garde fashion to the overall space. Meanwhile, it also achieves the spatial aestheticin terms of composition. The different sizes of ratio, from two centimeters of arched laces to three meters of arched doors, constitute the aesthetic proportional logic of the space. In order to create an intrusive dreamy experience, design without accent lighting is used, which motivates people to explore every corner in the space.

Dimensions & Packaging

The floor area of the project is 2200 sqm.

Production Technology

The entire parent-child swim club is divided into five main functional areas and some auxiliary functional areas, all of which are centered around the behavioral habits of its target audience. In order to break the limitation of the spatial floor plan, the designer has worked out a streamlined flow after fully considering the user habits and potential behaviors of different target groups, so that adults, children and infants could all enjoy its caring service on this line.

Design Challenge

The age range of the target group is wide. Not only middle-aged parents but also grandparents would bring the little ones here. Therefore, to take into consideration all their needs and experiences has been a great challenge of this project.

Research

The combination of service-oriented business with new business forms is a trend. The designer experimentally integrates the subsidiary functions of the project with main business, re-optimizes the main functions of parent-child sports training, and builds the project into a comprehensive space for swimming and sports education, integrating entertainment and leisure.

Inspiration

The design thinking of the space is closely centered on the water. For example, the big whale that wraps around the column, as if it is going to jump out of the water. The reception desk uses the shape of the ship, and the small arc lace outlined on the bottom is simplified wave that pushes the ship. Looking up at the lights in the reading area, the round lampshade is like small sprays of water splashing in the sky, shining in the air. Different design element echo with each other, through which the designer is able to realize the completeness in the space narrative.

Project Duration

The project is finished in May 2019 in Suzhou, China.

Operation Flow

At the end of the corridor is the main functional area, bath area, which is divided into infant bath area and adult bath area. The huge flower chandelier is a more eye-catching visual stop in the infant bath area, and it is also the best demonstrate of the reflection of designer on consumer characteristics and children aesthetic education. The low-key, solid-colored lampshade hides inside it beautiful patterns. When the children are lying in the tub, they are facing the pattern in front of their sight. The designer hopes to start with the small details of the space to cultivate good aesthetic capacity of children from childhood.
