Zonhow · 5Fook International Sales Center
The original and pure tension of the building extends from the outside to the inside. The design leverages a split-up method, attempting to break intrinsic patterns within the rules. Distinguished from traditional sales centers, dual circulation routes are applied at the entrance, effectively intensifying great spatial experience and functional demands.
The original building is divided by shops, resulting in the irregular distribution of shear walls in the space and the height limit of the ceiling caused by structural beams. The partition wall is creatively replaced by inclined and curved surfaces and the open-plan layout mitigates the space limitation of the building.
The ceiling is covered with metal plates featuring water rippled patterns, just like the glittering wave on the lake surface. And the curved segmentation makes the metal plate area enjoy an independent form, better wrapping up the flexible light. The balance between lightness and massiveness is therefore realized under the contrast of the glittering ceiling and the brown wooden vein tiles on the floor.
The indoor lighting mainly uses concealed linear light fixtures, which decorate the interior space as a painting that used light to sketch the background outlines of walls and the ceiling. The changes of light and shadows generate pleasing a rhythm and melody, enriching the sense of layers in such a simplistic space.
Large areas of glass curtain walls allow for abundant natural light entering the building, making the whole space tranquil and clear, and visible from within and without.
