About Novacolor Ihholo Lokubukiswa Kopende

Umsebenzi ka-Novacolor uwuhholo lokubukiswa kopende olutholakala eShantou, esiFundazweni saseGuangdong, eChina. Ingaphakathi lisibekelwe ngamamitha amabili ayisikwele angu-180 futhi libukisa izinhlobo ezingaphezu kuka-200 zombhoko nemibala yopende. Uhholo lokubukiswa lakhelwe egumbini lasesitolo esikhulu (mall) elinesibalo esiphansi sabavakashi, ngakho ukuheha ukunakwa kwaba yingxenye ephakathi nendaba yamasu okuklama. Isikhala esincishisiwe sokungena siphawula ukuguquka ekungeneni endaweni. Isakhiwo esinesimo se-ellipsoid esiluhlaza ntoku silengiswe ngenhla futhi sivumelana nokugoba kohlelo lwendawo. Izinto ezisetshenzisiwe zihlanganisa insimbi engagqwali (stainless steel), upende, i-microcement, ifilimu ebonakalayo kanye nengilazi eguqukayo. Isakhiwo semboko esidonswayo sisakaza ukukhanya okuthambile phezu kwemikhiqizo ebukisiwe.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: The transitional space's opening is specifically downsized, which is a clue to enter a world of different emotions and styles. The small blue ellipsoid hung on the top echoes with the curve of the plane and generates a strong sense of power. A flexible space is divided by a sphere. The perceptual area is created through the meticulous geometric order. It's a place of contradiction and coordination.
Dimensions & Packaging: Area: 180 sqm
Main materials: Stainless steel, paint, microciment, transparent film, switchable glass
Tags: Art, Paint showroom, AD Architecture, Cinematic and dramatic
Production Technology: In terms of material, the natural concave-convex metallic texture and the blue sheepskin texture create a contrast. Meanwhile, more than 200 material templates are employed in a low-key way to demonstrate their conciseness in the space. An artistic paint showroom is presented through contradiction.
Design Challenge: The biggest problem of this project is located at a mall's corner, which seems like a forgotten area because of its low person flow. Therefore, changing this situation is a very important part of the design strategy.
Research: Light is an important medium for expressing the emotion of a space. Tesioned membrane structure is applied in a large area to emphasize the softness of light. The structure enhances the products' lighting effect. Besides, the light and shadow are partially intensified to express the texture of the material and the restless feeling of the space. A repressive power is likely to be released.
This time, the team regarded the design as an aesthetic practice, and tried to do something heart -touching.
Inspiration: It is located at a mall's corner, which seems like a forgotten area because of its low person flow. Therefore, changing this situation is a very important part of the design strategy.
Novacolor was established in Italy, and originated from developing some natural mineral paints that have a long history. The design team aims to display 200 paints' textures and colors harmoniously in a 180-square-meter space, and attract more customers through eye-catching exhibition and wonderful experience.
Project Duration: Design time: March 2020
Completion time: July 2020
Location: Shantou, Guangdong Province, China
Operation Flow: Generally, a space is enhanced by proportions, shapes, material, light and details, but this time, the focus of the space is material, which needs to be exhibited. The space provides people with more opportunities to communicate and interact. The natural white color, gray cement texture, silver metallic paint wall and the black travertine wall of the entrance are organically integrated in the space.
