Project Brief
HappyLand Sales Office is located in Chang‘ an Downtown and strews at random in high buildings nearby. Because of its intervention, this grew old town marches forward under its sparkling presence. Perforated silver aluminum panels, adhering to the façade, covers this square-like site and work as an effective medium to keep the air circulating while decreasing a part of noise outside. But concise Origami-shaped vertical skin increases the area of contacting air while making the gigantic dull ‘box’ dynamic instantly, as if rippling on the water and causing an ambience of co-existence between movement and still while contrasting with raucous street beside; the square placed in front of the building strengthen the atmosphere of dignity and grace, auxiliary to the sales office as a steady fortress to defend external invasion.
Project Need
The single volume was divided into various functional sections through the simple and orderly arrangement. The barrier-free sight experience in all directions brings a balanced transition between inside and outside, apparently natural and harmonious. For the reason to partition distinct functional areas, the architect created several small-scale oak installations parallel to a pavilion and managed to utilize them in the planned layout. Indeed, it breaks a new ground of itself, and well-proportioned arrangement adds great vitality to the entire space.
Design Challenge
Circular artistic lighting is set at the bottom of each pavilion, light up the darkness inside. You will find yourself as if exposed at a serene night with a universe of stars, to capture those fascinating scenes of dreamland. Incorporating imported furniture and accessories, the space appears delicately unsophisticated and distinctive.
The interior wall parallel to the glass wall has been applied the same Origami shape, coming up with an unaffected ambiance of co-existence. Other supplementary spaces hide behind the wall and are connected by a passageway. Anteroom, women/men’s room and rooms on the higher level are accessible through the passageway individually.
