Design Details

Unique Properties
The design presentation is made up of three entry courtyards and progressive contextual system related spaces. The space and time are packed in a container of combination of the virtual and the real. Through the contrast of materials and the infinite change of light and shadow, and the unique charm of the project with the combination of the imperial vein, the urban vein and the cultural vein is created by using the fine and greasy features.
Inspiration
The project is designed to create an interior space with oriental artistic conception and modern aesthetic feeling with the charm of the architectural form of the ancient historical capital. The typical symmetrical layout of Chinese style has the body characteristics rich in rhythm and order, and integrates the etiquette culture elements into the modern space, so that the millennial royal life style of ritual sense can be infiltrated and inherited in the modern design context.
Research
Design studies the relationship between people and space, but the timeliness of space is also worthy of attention. The memory of the past often becomes the trigger of the potential emotional resonance of the space, while the classical architectural style is gorgeous and noble in the performance of the space. The design regards the case as a space-time station and opens the past and the future with modern design techniques.
Challenge
The difference in the design of this project lies in the exploration of interesting spatial layouts on a limited scale. Attempts are made to design the interior space in the form of architectural design. Everywhere in the space, a picture with a sense of space and artistic composition can be captured.
Realization and Technology
Wood, Glass, Metal, Stone
Operation and Interaction
