Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Through the combing of lines and the division of blocks, the designer constructs different functional places, and extends the architectural lines to every design detail of the hotel.The concise and natural materials combined with the level changes of the space create a quiet and comfortable space atmosphere, thus alleviating the impetuous and noisy caused by the high-speed operation of the city.
- Inspiration
- The space theme revolves around the light of crystal. The whole hotel reflects the dazzling visual perception with rational design techniques. By shaping the relationship between people and space, it seems to reproduce the Crystal Tower of the ice age. The designer tries to abstract and simplify the complex environment from the design point of view, so that the function and environment can be fully integrated with each other in an orderly form.
- Research
- People who have lived in cities for a long time are confined to their own patterns and are far away from nature, but their hearts are full of yearning for nature. Crystal Hotel project is located in Shanghai Hongqiao Lvgu Plaza. By freely switching between design and creativity, multiple shared spaces fully collide and communicate between Shanghai's retro and innovative.
- Challenge
- The space design extends from the outside to the inside, and at the same time expands from the inside to the outside, so that all indoor design activities strive to break the boundary point between the inside and the outside.The perspective of the closed space is expanded to welcome the beautiful things outside the window.
- Realization and Technology
- Designers try to emphasize the futuristic sense of the space through the metal geometric symbols on the entire surface, showing the most original three-dimensional beauty with a concise form of segmentation. In the context of the new era, they return to the beginning of design and the spirit of natural place, creating a comfortable and free space with the most natural and simple methods.
- Operation and Interaction
- The greenery in the interior is condensed in the space from the moment you enter the hotel, forming an indissoluble bond with the travelers who come and go. The sparkling and crystal-clear main wall is mixed with comfortable fresh, condensing a natural magnetic force, which is more shining.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in September 2019 in Shanghai and finished in July 2020 in Shanghai.
- Specifications
- The project covers a total of 8000 square meters.
