About Gold Feet Bay 金腳灣

金腳灣係中國江西宜春嘅一間足浴健康會所。室內設計以禪文化為基礎。接待枱嘅背景牆鑲嵌咗145塊手工製作嘅陶瓷簷瓦，仿照漢代宮殿裝飾而製，為空間帶來歷史感。寧靜嘅茶室同沿住樓梯邊緣裝飾嘅白蓮花，將唔同功能區域連接起嚻。原有電梯旁邊加建咗樓梯，樓梯底下設有一個水池。燭台燈、竹筒燈同埋景觀燈，營造出寧靜舒適嘅氛圍。

Production Technology: On the background wall of the reception desk, there are 145 Eaves tiles which have divinity meanings in the palace decoration in the Han Dynasty. The hand-made ceramic imitation is adopted as decoration in this health club to bring good luck and a sense of history, which highlights the cultural heritage of the project.
Design Challenge: The light sources from candlestick lamp, bamboo tube lamp and landscape light combined with the massage manipulation to unload the pressure of guests and to achieve a calming effect.
Research: As a health club, it needs to guide the visitors to the situation in both physical and mental aspects. So, it is especially important to create the situational light source.
Inspiration: The Japanese architect Tadao Ando has revealed the four elements of architectural aesthetics: wind, light, water, and relationship. The physical natural elements and their relationship is just like the modern Zen spirit, which create an idyllic landscape.
Project Duration: The project is designed in December 2018 and it is finished in May 2019, in Yichun, Jiangxi, China.
Operation Flow: In order to enhance the flexibility and fun of space, while retaining the original elevator, some stairs are added and a water landscape pool is built below the stairs. The space has achieved a calm and relaxing visual effect. In the indoor waterscape, the contact between people and water reminds people of nature, so as to create a pleasant recreation and entertainment space.
