DESIGN NAME: Zhanjiang Chengfa Runyue
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Life Lab Center
INSPIRATION: Inspired by the coastal terraced fields in Zhanjiang, this project reinterprets local cultural elements through modern design. The interplay of light and shadow, along with the thoughtful spatial sequencing, creates various living scenarios rich in regional traits, cultivating highly interactive social environments for modern families.
The rustic tones, including beige, white, and gray, set a warm, modern foundation, while the orange furnishings and lush greenery infuse the space with vitality.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This interior design is meticulously crafted for Zhanjiang Chengfa Runyue Life Lab Center, which doubles as a sales hub. As client needs evolve, the sales center moves beyond traditional commerce to focus on immersive offline experiences and social sharing. By blending modern living concepts with local cultural identity, the space integrates diverse lifestyle elements to create a dynamic urban hub for young families, redefining the connection between the city, community, and humans.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Following the angular layout of the building, the design uses obtuse angled fold lines to maximize views and bring in more natural light while eliminating sharp corners for a safer sense. The central showcase flows seamlessly into the outdoor interactive space, uniting the stage, fashion store, and cafe. The exhibition zone is set apart, making a quiet contrast to vibrant spaces. The multifunctional space planning and hybrid traffic flow design dissolve boundaries for more enjoyable interaction.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Located in Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province, the project began its design phase in Beijing in 2023 and reached completion in October 2024.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: For environmental protection, the project uses inorganic and locally sourced natural materials, such as wood and limestone. They undergo only essential protective treatments like corrosion prevention to retain authentic textures, and the dynamic contrasts between different materials evoke a natural, soothing atmosphere.
The terrazzo flooring, treated with crystallization, enhances moisture resistance. The native plants improve indoor air quality, reflecting an ecologically friendly philosophy.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: It covers an area of 1391 square meters.
