Jinan Greentown Gallery

This project is located in Jinan in Shandong province. The design concept originates from the ancient poetry describing the scenery of Daming Lake in Jinan, from which "lotus" is extracted as the core concept of the design. The designers simplified lotus leaf elements, transformed into geometric figures that can be repeatedly arranged by geometric means, and applied them to the space. The circulation line of the floor layout symbolizes the lake water, and the sand table area symbolizes the lotus flower. The functional layout echoes the regional culture of Jinan. The sand table area was not well lighted, the designer considers opening an irregular pentagon hole on the ceiling to help lighting. The different position of the sun in one day will give the sand table area constantly changing light and shadow effect, which becomes a highlight of the case. In the aspect of colors, the pink, green and blue that symbolizes lotus are added to the basic black and white color, giving the bouncing color to the space and creating the vigor and fashion sense. The stone, leather, metal and clothes material with metal luster are widely used for furniture selection.



The design for reception area is more complex than that for previous projects, with faux stone walls and marble floors. The hexagonal geometric shapes emulated on the walls symbolizes lotus flowers. The ceiling is decorated with metallic colors elements, light belts and mirrors to add a sense of spatial ritual. The colorful partition on the left uses colored acrylic material similar to lotus color, siding with mirror stainless steel.



The sand table adopts curve shape. The carpet with water ripple texture is laid across the negotiation area, where the seat modeled on lotus flower and the bar chair modeled on lotus leaf. The ceiling chandelier is modeled on water ripple and the sofa is modeled on the crescent moon. The overall style is concise and tidy, with some chromatic color as an ornament. The decoration of the children's area is mainly yellow and blue, emphasizing the active feeling of the space.
