Design Details

Unique Properties
In this project, the designer does not follow empty aesthetics. The ever-changing beauty of nature surges in space with golden crystals, rough rocks, lush forests, active creatures, etc., giving people an experience of strolling in the forest, which is full of interest and vitality.
Inspiration
Inspired from the tiny creatures of the natural word and standing on the height of harmony between nature and art, the designer likens the interior to a forest space under the ecological vision. When people roam in it, they are immersed in the artistic natural scenery and their perception of lifestyle is evoked between the transformation of multiple experiences.
Research
This project, which is located in Qinhan New City of Xixian New Area, Xi An, adjoins Lanchi Avenue, one of the most picturesque avenues. Relying on the Ecological Landscape Belt of the Weihe River, the Mother River of Xi’an, it boasts the One River and Six Gardens natural cultural tourism facilities ecologically, along with full services in the economic, medical and educational sectors.
Challenge
The designer emphasizes the fusion of nature and art, environment and experience through the echoing of color details, the expression of house materials, and the rich texture of hard furnishings organized in a delicate layout. In this space, the beauty of nature and art merges together while echoing with humanistic spirit. The intersection of aesthetics and experience evokes people's ideas of lifestyle and their aspirations for a better life.
Realization and Technology
A forest space is created by the green hard installation along with crystal lights and metallic wires on the top ceiling. An ecological laboratory is built in water bar, where little plant installations reveal a thriving natural life and glass bottles portray the formal experiments of avant-garde art. The simple clay porcelain vases, natural red clay rocks, fresh flowers and green plants serve as the vehicle to express the nature world to create a cozy and pleasant environment.
Operation and Interaction
Through artistic reinterpretation, the dynamic ecological scenes transcend the boundaries of time and space, and return to a world where the mind and the context fit each other, displaying the beautiful imagination of urban life in the future.
