CITY LIVING ROOM

This case is one of the exploration and practice of the functional needs of the current demonstration area for real estate development scenario for industrial park.

Location

The project site is located on an open plain, surrounded by predominantly industrial land. Adjacent to the river with an open view, and scattered with trees on the southern side of the urban green belt. The green landscape and the natural landscape of the building became an important origin of the design, and we sought to form a unique experience of place for the future industry park.

Although the starting point for the design is the sales office, the ultimate intention is to provide a transformable, free, open and presentable gathering space for the future corporate industry park.

Design concept

The scheme is inspired by cubism – the space of the building has broken down, analyzed and recomposed to form a new space experience, thus creating a collision of different angles of collage to understand the space and form an abstract perspective. The spirit of cubism in this case, which tries to detach itself from apparent appearances, tries to fit the science and technology park with rich connotation and bringing a changing perception in architectural space. Detaching from ornamentation, the design meant to return to architecture itself, and use architecture to create experiences with meaningful transmission.

Functional decomposition

Three volumes are placed in the exhibition area, each of which forms a partial negative space for different functions and satisfies the demand for exhibition. The staggering of each volume creates a rich experience both in the interior and exterior- whereas the entrance hall is 12m high as the highest volume of all, allowing people to stop and stay. and at a later stage when the whole industry park is completed it allows for a overview of the entire landscape axes of the park. The box on the south side is the demonstration area /the main sales center, the first floor is for public display, accommodating several functions including showing and preliminary discussions. The design adopts an open plan, attempting limit the divisions in the space to establish a transpicuous view to the surrounding environment. The right side is a private activity clubhouse to meet the more private needs of the owners such as entertaining guests and meeting.

Interior Spaces

The use of different materials in each volume marks the transitions of each space – allowing different materials and scenes to be seen from every angle due to the overall permeability of the space. The design strives to keep the entire interior simple and bright without excessive decoration, with large transparent glass in the façade and special window treatments that allow for a view of the outdoors.

Façade Design

The façade uses metal to structure the entrance volume’s composition, while the rets of the building employed colored glazed ultra-white glass and aluminum panels to create the collision of lightness and heaviness through the contrast of materials. Through the gradation from floors to floors, the public space on the first floor achieves a light and transparent effect, providing abundant lighting and landscape view to the interior space; while on the second floor, as a more private negotiation space, the building chooses to block the view with more opaque façade strategy. Through the fusion of light and shade, the futurism, the sense of technology, rendering the building new and vivid.

Landscape Design

The landscape design originates from the intention to create a floating urban exhibition hall, not only to exhibit the lightness of the building floating on the water, but also from the point of connecting with the center of the park, thus creating a continuous flowing relationship of the water scape. People can strolling along the water and enjoy the different gestures of the water, from the silent and still waterscape surrounding the building, to the long axes waterscape of the entire project.
