ORIGIN

In the world's admiration, the East is often known for its fluidity and poetry. In Jinan, water is not only the source of nature, but also the pulse of the city's spirit. Karv One Design profoundly inspected Jinan's thousands of years of cultural heritage, distilled the gentlemanly character of Jinan people and springs, and took "spring" as the design inspiration. "Spring" became the linkage that connects various spaces, through form, structure, spatial imagination, and the integration of outdoor landscapes into indoor spaces with the sparkling reflections of water, it portrays the wandering posture of spring water. Every part of the space highlights the sculptural power of intangible water, the natural eminence of flow and tranquility.



For the high and narrow space, it is 13 meters high, the art installation suspended at 8 meters in order to break the general sense of floor height. The collision of classical arch elements and contemporary materials presents a powerful variation and a stunning opening. While facing the garden water scenery, the poetry atrium is designed to bring the garden view inside and create a water landscape. The detail setting of the frameless curtain wall weakens the sense of indoor and outdoor boundaries. The Eastern philosophical impression of "circle" falls within the ceiling lines, implying a metaphor of contemplation in life. Circles of the same size are cut out and placed at the edge of the water landscape to form a "Moon Boat" art installation bench. When light and shadow enter the poetic realm with the wind, the space becomes a classical theater in the East, creating an Art of Ethereal, airy and poetic.



In light of contemporary urban elites’ pursuit of a richer spiritual experience, the design transforms the supporting space into a high-quality club house for the entire life cycle of the future, condensing the growth potential of Eastern life and exploring new ways of living in the hustle and bustle. With our contemporary and modern interpretation, the design depicts the East, integrating and innovating in the space, conveying the unique poetic and aesthetic life of the Chinese people.
