Tanyue Mansion

Tanyue Mansion is a sales center for a residential property in Nanning, Guangxi, China. The interior covers 680 square meters and follows a symmetrical layout inspired by ancient oriental academy buildings made of wood, stone and brick. The plan moves from the sand table to the negotiation area and then to the book bar. Screens recall the roof structure of the Zhuang, one of the minority groups in China. Two art installations, one based on calligraphy and one on water, mark the secondary lobby and the reception desk. The design joins local cultural elements with modern space functions.

Lesprit cafe

Flat marble, matt brass and black and white tile flooring create a calm and warm atmosphere. Laminated board is used for easy maintenance. Blue paint relates the interior to the exterior of the building. A wooden partition was removed to widen the space, and situational lighting with spotlights and chandeliers adds softness.

Nostalgia

The industrial landscapes of the 1960-1970s inspired this project. The metal structures made of hot-rolled steel create a realistic intonation of anti-utopia. A rusty profiled sheet of old fences creates an atmosphere of complete freedom of expression. Open technical communications, shabby plaster and granite countertops add to the interior industrial chic of the sixties.

New Beacon

Space is a container. The designer infuses emotion and space elements into it. Combining with the characteristics of space noumenon, the Designer completes the deduction from emotion to sequence through the arrangement of space route, and then forms a complete story. Human emotion is naturally precipitated and sublimed through experience. It uses modern techniques to metaphor the ancient city's culture, and shows the aesthetic wisdom for thousands of years. The design, as a spectator, slowly tells how a city nourishes the contemporary human life with its context.
