- Realization and Technology
- Rammed earth material reflects the texture of time precipitation, contrasts with the atomized glass on the facade, and engraves the rhythm of space and the beauty of texture. On the other side of the street, wheat ears and reeds are used to create a large area of landscape, enhance the experience atmosphere of the external exhibition area, and strengthen the interaction inside and outside the store.
- Operation and Interaction
- The interior landscape design makes full use of the scattered space, through the division of material, light color and lustre, it not only embodies the visual artistry, but also blends into the modern sense of neatness.
