PROJECT

DESCRIPTION


When we look at objects or buildings that seems to be at peace within themselves, our perception becomes calm and dulled. The object we perceive has no message for us, they are simply there. Our perceptive faculties grow quiet, unprejudiced and unacquisitive, they reach beyond signs and symbols, they are open, empty. Our senses gradually become quiet, fair, no longer hungry, they transcend signs and symbols; they are open and empty.
Our senses gradually become quiet, fair, no longer hungry, they go beyond the signs and symbols; they open and deserted.

PROJECT

DESCRIPTION


"The aesthetic pleasure of a space comes from the perceptive faculties, from formal aesthetics to spiritual aesthetics, and then to feel the comfort of the soul brought by beauty, followed by the ideal world represented by the beauty behind. It is like what Zumthor said, the feature of the openness and emptiness of a building or an object.” said the chief designer of the project.

PROJECT

DESCRIPTION


"We need to reach to a balance between the expression and constraint of space, reserving the atmosphere of serenity and meanwhile taking things like the positioning and surroundings of the project into consideration. In the end, we hope that it will be a modern and stylish space with minimalism , but fused with the freshness of nature as well.

Entrance Hall: To respond to the spirit of intelligence, openness, sharing, and advancing with the times manifested by the Phoenix Smart Valley project, a galloping horse art sculpture is particularly placed in the entrance hall, which symbolizes the striving spirit of the elites residing in this building just like the swift horse with its majestic appearance.
Art Installation: As the escalator rising slowly, the large-scale art installation "White Sand Dunes" wanders in the air like clouds. The heights differentiate in order, responding to each other, and the continuous breeze in the building generates a dynamic rhythm, drawing people’s attention and at the same time presenting a pleasant acoustic optimization sound, so as to achieve the best visual effect and auditory experience in a breathtaking and beautiful way.
People move under this large-scale white art installation, becoming an elegant visual picture with a clean background. The "white clouds" undulate like sand dunes and roll like waves, full of rhythm, giving the space a vibe of agility and ease.The whole site is intertwined with dynamic and static, and the romantic melody is dancing in the space like elves, like water flowing freely.
The Lobby Reception: Large areas of blank space, with simple and flowing lines, stylish, clean, natural and peaceful.
The way designer sees it, "blank" is an important way of expressing spatial emotions. Only a uniquely shaped white vases with green twigs in it is displayed, establishing its own atmosphere, putting art and nature in the same room.
The Meeting Area: The overall space of this meeting area is open and transparent. The soft furnishings are placed into the space with rational and simple line design language and artworks, embellished with champagne and plants, bringing out a different atmosphere for the space. The materials are mainly made of exquisite metal, glass, leather and fabric , highlighting the modern and fashionable artistic sense of the space.
The combination of furniture from different high-end brands becomes a unique indoor landscape, where nature, simplicity, fashion and texture can exist altogether.
The Library: As the German philosopher Schiller said: "Art is the right hand of nature. The latter only gave us being, but the former madeus men ." Between art, nature, and space, what’s interesting is to achieve a certain delicacy of balance. The proper use of color, light, sound, fragrance, texture, scale and other elements will bring warmness and emotions to the space. The library in the lobby with its the green decoration and simplicity, takes people back to their inner peace.
The Resting Area: The overall color hue applied in the design is white and earth tones, dotted with classic, durable and natural warm tea brown, cypress green, etc.
The marble floor and beige wall panels set a tone of cleanness for the background while the furnishings are consist of exquisite leather and metal materials, light and luxurious texture and delicate flannel, and the classics contemporary furniture designed by masters, expressing the attractiveness of style and elegance of the space.The natural and graceful floral art, warm local lighting, etc., and the careless design details are all aimed at highlighting the unique texture in the plainness.
Corridor Design: Someone once asked the painter Kiefer "Why are you an artist?" Kiefer said: "I want to connect various things in the world in different ways and establish new connections between different things." It is also where the paintings in the corridor should be, to establish connections between different things, to manifest the natural style in an abstract form, connecting the vibe of the space, and at the same time making people have a relaxing wander. VIP Room Design: The VIP room stands next to the window. The modern leather-sand chair and marble table top bring light luxury and comfort together in a natural and graceful way. "As far as people are concerned, artifacts are not only consumptive and material, and beauty can only be seen through use." The fusion of practicality and artistic beauty is the focus of the furnishings in this space.
Conference Room and Multi-functional Hall Design: The color hue in the meeting room and multi-functional hall are mainly earth and wood colors, which makes the space more calm and elegant. The design is expected to be simple with nature vibe. It is hoped that people working in them can be in a relaxed and composure state.
