About Glass Core Lobby
Glass Core is a reception lobby designed for a community building in Jiaxing, China. The lobby is reached by an elevator that rises through an atrium of 18 meters in height. The elevator shaft is built with a steel structure that supports glass panels combined with LED lights, so the volume glows and marks the entrance of the building. The translucent glass is inlaid with metal, giving a texture similar to white jade with a gold rim. A rectangular staircase is placed around the elevator, so visitors can move by stairs or by elevator. The total area is 1000 square meters.

- Production Technology
- The elevator space is 18 meters high. We use steel structure technology as the glass support, and then combine the glass and LED lights.In the elevator, the translucent glass is inlaid with metal material, and the texture is like white jade with gold rim, and it is like a white rainbow neon falling from the sky.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge we face is how do we solve the accessibility of space,and how can the 18-meter empty space become a highlight.Entering from the first floor and taking the elevator directly to the lobby on the third floor, you will have the first impression of the space by walking through.
- Project Duration
- The project started in April 2020 in Jiaxing and finished in December 2020 in Jiaxing, and was exhibited in Jiaxing in December 2020.
- Operation Flow
- Entering from the first floor and taking the elevator directly to the lobby on the third floor, you will have the first impression of the space by walking through.The rectangular ambulatory plane staircase design strengthens the sense of space and at the same time perfectly combines the stairway and the elevator to guide and enrich the flowing lines. One could explore the space choosing the stairs or elevators at will.
- Research
- The project is a reception lobby for the community, while the lobby is located on the second floor of the building. How do we get people to the lobby is a key issue that we have to solve. We want to be easy to find even in the darkness. So the luminous elevator room becomes the visual highlight in the space.
- Inspiration
- The Time Tunnel corridor uses light to guide people through. Entering from the first floor and taking the elevator directly to the lobby on the third floor, you will have the first impression of the space by walking through.
