Jinglan Bay Art

Jinglan Bay Art is a sales center interior located in Liuzhou, a mountainous area with winding waters. The interior covers 1705 square meters and includes reception, sales, display, digital media and VIP areas. Rather than copying the landscape through shapes, light and shadow are used to suggest high mountains and deep water. Black terrazzo is polished to a mirror finish, so the outdoor scenery and the movement of visitors are reflected. Raw stone at the entrance creates the depth of a valley. Other materials include chiseled marble, mineral paint, black wood and oak.

Modelhane

Modelhane is an office interior that also contains a handbag production workshop. The space is open and uncluttered, with minimal partitions, so the production process can flow without interruption. Bricks with varying geometries form separators that mark the different programs. A semi-permeable material divides the workstations from the cutting room and creates a silhouette effect. The interior is arranged around three main areas: a meeting room with a display area, the workstations and the cutting room. Light colors are used, so the bags provide the only color.

Each droplet is treated as a distinct space, and droplets of different sizes are combined into flowing curved rooms. The curved walls and ceilings are built with glass fiber reinforced gypsum. Sustainable materials are used, including low emission paint, sintered stone flooring and certified boards. Stainless steel along the windows reflects daylight deeper into the rooms.
