Project Description

The development of architecture lies in the meaning of spatial existence, and the visualization of the overall concept is realized through the handle of modality. The internal space and the architectural exterior stand in the "empty" and "be" dimensions at the beginning of the design, and a close discussion has been carried out. The massive use of transparent glass surface setting draws the artistic atmosphere of the internal world to the skin. The internal space construction strengthens the architectural expression. Meanwhile, the landscape finds itself echoed masterly. The art of architecture is no longer limited to the enclosure of space; dynamic Ideas replace static ideas.
Stepping into the building, happily you are greeted with a typical oriental experience, and the "art exhibition hall" has laid down the overall space proposition on the first floor. The living room conveys a strong sense of belonging with the appearance of an exquisite living room, suggesting the nature of the service target. With the turning of the movement, the pace will slow down, and different display contents certainly pass along the path. Sand tables, models, and other artworks, and even obvious objects are integrated into the design imagination as resources, and progress at lower levels on the premise of maintaining a unified aesthetic for people, to pave the way to the climax of the central space. The rhythmic singing in the vertical direction of the building skin has received a clear response inside the exhibition space, and the internal and external volumes are firmly combined. After repeated demonstrations, an "Awareness Pavilion" was added to the central axis of the hall to face it across the water, anchoring the spatial composition with a "point".
The four stone walls of the "Awareness Pavilion" hang down, leaving only a gap at the junction with the water. To plunge into it, the noisy world has nothing to do with oneself, the water surface is soft as a mirror, and the projection is refreshing. The place where the water meets the sky is alone, and the empty painting realm is full of ease. "Awareness Pavilion" completes the space derivation in a way similar to extrusion, and the experimental design based on simple aesthetics enhances the aesthetics of the space.
The roof is supported by pillars, and the open half-space of the facade is limited, which is used for amusement buildings for relaxation or scenic views. Awareness Pavilion, concealed by the facade, shields all complex external worlds, and closes eyes to the water and sky, sees the heart, meets the ego...
If the "Awareness Pavilion" is understood as a service at the spiritual level, then the negative layer will develop a situation of harmony and complementarity with it. The functional interface has a compact composition, embracing the sunken landscape in a semi-enclosed posture. On the premise of continuing the exquisite texture, this floor tried to use a large number of types of materials to enrich the space experience, adding more lively elements. Orange, which represents abundance and happiness, is injected into the executive lounge, children's play area, and other areas, making the atmosphere much enthusiastic and full of vitality. The array of lines on the wall of the swimming pool weakens the outer wall and forms a transition to the outside landscape. It then turns and wraps to the top of the space, showing a dynamic flow parallel to the water surface. The skylight penetrates through the glass, passes through the water surface and the top surface layer by layer, creating a romantic effect like a daydream.
In line with Maslow's hierarchy of needs model, after the lower two floors meet the needs of belonging and respect, the top floor undertakes the ultimate self-realization of the building. Above the center of the art exhibition hall, the orange diverticulum stands out in an extremely eye-catching manner. As the apex of the consciousness of the building community, this beating "heart" and the roof landscape work hand in hand to create the space center, radiating energy to the surroundings. In terms of breath, out of adapting to the change of spatial color, this design attempted to shape the transition from the decorative sense at the bottom to the sculptural sense at the top through the fine adjustment of detailed structure and soft decorations.

Materials Used

rock beam, Portugal Beige Marble, wood veneer, wired glass

Sustainability

In order to support the environmental regulation in mainland China, the contractor appointed the architect to develop a commercial property that is both energy-saving and reusable. First of all, the architect uses the less artificial lighting in outdoor and indoor while keeping appropriate illumination. Energy-saving spotlights and transmitting materials are widely used, such as the ceiling, sculptural ceiling and screen. In addition, the contractor hopes the building is retractable and reusable in other related projects. In that case, most of the fixed utilities, furnishings and parts are not permanently integrated to the structure. Open space is still the main feature when designing the project. In most of the year, there is enough natural lighting in South China. In near future, the site could be used as a community for the residents and neighbours to launch events and parties after completing its mission for housing exhibition.
