Fineland Heshan Community Center Recreation

Fineland Heshan Community Center Recreation is an innovative architectural and interior design project that exemplifies the harmonious fusion of traditional Chinese cultural elements with contemporary design aesthetics. Located in the Pearl River Delta region of Guangdong Province, this 1000-square-meter multifunctional space seamlessly integrates three distinct areas: a club, swimming pool, and restaurant, each characterized by unique design elements while maintaining a cohesive visual narrative. The design draws profound inspiration from traditional Chinese elements, particularly the handheld fan, which is abstractly interpreted in the lobby's background through sophisticated lighting effects that create a unified space with remarkable visual hierarchy. The project's architectural language employs modern minimalism while incorporating cultural touchstones, such as the graceful eaves of traditional Chinese architecture reinterpreted through contemporary materials like stainless steel and process glass. The restaurant space features green-gray toned bricks reminiscent of ancient Chinese architecture, complemented by transparent glass surfaces that optimize natural light penetration. A notable design feature is the magnificent revolving entrance door adorned with paintings of ancient trees, embodying both functional and aesthetic purposes. The project, completed in 2019, overcame significant challenges including large slopes, considerable level differences, and structural irregularities, while successfully implementing deconstruction techniques through arcades and novel structures that effectively soften the impact of high spaces. The design's excellence was recognized with a Platinum A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category, acknowledging its outstanding contribution to contemporary spatial design while preserving cultural heritage.
