RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Most sales centers on the market today are designed in a luxurious, splendid style, which fails to bridge the emotional gap between people and the space. In contrast, this space design incorporates local natural and cultural elements to create a sales center imbued with the culture of Hangzhou, thus facilitating dialogue and connection between the city, space, nature, and art.
CHALLENGE: The biggest challenge was how to integrate urban culture into the space design and blend traditional cultural significance with modern aesthetics. To address that, the design team carefully selected the natural and cultural elements of Linping District. Inspired by the arch lines of Donglaige, the lamps above the sand table are designed to be at varying heights. The mossy scenic spot in the foyer presents a glimpse of natural landscape in Hangzhou, capturing its essence in a subtle manner.
