Design Details

Unique Properties
The overall keynote is unified and concise, which conforms to the design theme. In order to create a green, energy-saving and human-oriented space environment, the designers perfectly combine natural light and artificial light, and pay attention to the use of acoustic environment. Here, people can not only explore ways of better integration between products and city, nature and life, but also gradually understand the meaning of modern, international and art to space.
Inspiration
Qingdao Guoxin Convention and Exhibition Center Hotel is located in the core area of government affairs and business in Laoshan District, Qingdao. It is invested by Qingdao Guoxin Group and is mainly aimed at government groups, government conferences, exhibitors, and a small number of tourists. The exterior of the building is inspired by ripples, which rejects unnecessary lines and shows an elegant and agile curve.
Research
A city-related design task is a long time to wait and surprise. Everything in the designer's works is free. Whether it is the lines drawn on the form, the relationship with the material, or the form of space and the trace of time, they are all the interpretation of the concept of space.
Challenge
In the lobby design, the designer adopts the modern and simple style of fashion. The folding design of the top, the glass screen outside the column, and the soft furnishings with smooth curves all add a sense of level to the space, making the space full of rhythm, and echoing the ripple theme of the outer building inside and outside.
Realization and Technology
The main materials in this project are beige stone, art wallpaper, art glass, art carpet, blue aluminum plate and fabric.
Operation and Interaction
The designer infuses the current lifestyle into the hotel and creates a fashionable business exhibition smart hotel with unique experience.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in April 2018 in Qingdao and will finish in January 2021 in Qingdao.
Specifications
The project covers a total of 280000 square meters.
