Design Details

Unique Properties
The interaction of the light and space is always changing in different periods of time. The reception hall is the main activity space. Its design continues the essence of ancient architectures like it is telling the story of the accumulated wisdom and lightness of the space. The outdoor space with the affordable luxury style builds the traffic flow with twists and turns and orders.
Inspiration
Zhengzhou owns the short name of Zheng. It used to be called Shangdu in ancient times. Zhengzhou is the provincial capital of Henan and a megacity. 5000 years ago, the first ancestor of the Chinese history, the Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan, was born in Zhengzhou and built a city here.
Research
When the light meets the space, countless of lives and souls are formed. Besides, you will find the profound, ethereal, quiet, solemn and sacred elements in the environment. It will be difficult to not see the beauty of the elegant environment and not be attracted by the simple but dreamy characteristics.
Challenge
In the discussion area, the virtual light is made concrete. The light bar is used to present the order and repetition of light to create a special experience and show the geometry of the architecture. With a blank in the space, people can feel at ease and joyful in the discussion area. Moreover, the warm light, the simple but stylish sofa and the art painting create a special atmosphere for the area. In the space and dimension in nature, each of us is pursuing the light.
Realization and Technology
Each corner of the project bears the design of the space. The wood grating of a large area and the art sculpture show the harmonious blend of powerful generosity and elegant art. Besides the space, human and nature are presented here in the most comfortable way. A concept of the space combined with the light and shadow is utilized in the exhibition area, which brings about an exclusive space experience that amazes the viewers.
Operation and Interaction
The design combines natural elements and pursues the crudity to a certain degree. The light is more than a design here. It is a form of art.
Project Duration and Location
The project finished in 2019 in Henan, China.
Specifications
The project is 756 square meter.
