Push the door we enter the vestibule and the opposite side is the mysterious fireplace porch. The boundary of the space is not to separate, but to enrich the scenes with different activity forms and order levels. On the other side is the dreamlike staircase, which uses the duality approach to form a binary contrast between the dim staircase and the white ball which is similar with the state of ideal and reality. The anodized aluminum ceiling with "W" shape splicing on the top adds extraordinary visual impact which has broken the visual inherent impression with solemn atmosphere and gives a kind of inner strength.

When we get out of the elevator, we come to the tea break area, we taste a sweet tea with delicate fragrance winding around the tip of our tongue. What remains in our mouth is fragrance, but what remains in our heart is satisfaction and beauty.

The design of the long journey on the top ceiling of the men's bath adopts the design method of upward extension, which shapes an upward pillar of the boundless Utopia. It leads to the hall display on the third floor, as if the role of Utopia is not only to make people realize that the current situation is not perfect, but also to make people constantly transform and explore in accordance to the Utopia.

The corridor on the third floor is like reaching the end of the Utopia. A variety of irregular "W" and the combination of natural light and artificial light produce unexpected magical effects. You can roam this space across the dimension of time and space to explore the mystery and interest.

At first, the floor height of the men's bath area is relatively low. In order to break through the original restrictions and make an innovation, the third floor is extended with the concept of "Pillar of Utopia". It not only can satisfy people's desire for exploration, but also it integrates various functional spaces.
