Design Details

Unique Properties: This case is the extension of urban space in the indoor, the blending of street culture and interior. It breaks the traditional boundaries and realizes the new discussion of urban life concept and lifestyle in space design. The smooth lines and steady texture not only endow the whole design with rich layers, but also represent the spiritual orientation and aesthetic interest of modern people.
Inspiration: When the designer first stepped into the blank room, the scene of the Roman Colosseum appeared in his mind. Although today's civilized world is not as wild as the ancient Roman era, the challenges of business competition have never stopped. For a person, the biggest opponent in the competition is actually himself. However, the inertia competition, which relies on following the rules by heart, indicates the original intention of extricating from the dead cycle of traditional industry.
Research: In the age of this information explosion, one of the most important qualities of a person is independent thinking. Never be confined to the trend, always adhere to the style, and put aside distractions to choose a really suitable for their own way of life. The big health industry in China has become the future industry with the greatest potential for development. The "Implementation of the Healthy China Strategy" is brewing and forming a huge blue sea market.
Challenge: At the beginning of the spatial planning in this case, the owner and designer considered the spatial layout and superposition use from the rational consumer demand, in order to achieve the reasonable return on the cycle. Therefore, spatial efficiency is also an important core part of this project. When the designer took over the project, he was faced with not only a conceptual solution, but also the research and development of a space category.
Realization and Technology: The internal design follows the functional requirements to achieve an intensive and mobile integration layout. Designers use ingenious virtual and real methods to separate the space, and combine metal, stone and other raw materials to integrate art and industrial style into the whole space. While emphasizing the relationship between curves and straight lines, it also echoes the theme of the Roman Colosseum elements.
Operation and Interaction: This designer emphasizes the contrast and conflict between dynamic and static, extreme materials and forms composition, restrained colors and abstract ideas in the space , and creatively brings a passion to everyone who comes here to realize himself. The transparent and private open space allows all members to have a full view of the sports scenes in the leisure negotiation area.
Project Duration and Location: The project started in February 2019 in Shenzhen and finished in May 2019 in Shenzhen.
Specifications: space from the entrance, the dynamic and static partition divides a public walkway into two parts with two glass partitions. This is a walkway with strong sense of ritual. As a linear space, it is also the main axis of the whole space. From here, you can enter the water bar area, leisure area, classroom, changing room, physical examination room, gymnastics room and VIP room.
