THE PRISM SHANGHAI

THE PRISM SHANGHAI explores spatial experience, light and shadow, and local context, transcending traditional boundaries between architecture, interior, and landscape through the "diamond cutting" concept. The design creates an immersive environment blending poetic modernity and artistic tension, embodying Shanghai’s elegance and futurism.
Centered around a sunken courtyard with full-height curtain walls, the clubhouse floods interiors with daylight and natural landscape, blurring inside and outside. Angular elements unify the design, while a 10-meter-high atrium in the social zone amplifies grandeur. Layered diagonal planes on walls and ceilings extend the diamond motif, softening mass and elongating sightlines. The negotiation area is conceived as a ”floating island” poised delicately above a shallow water plane recessed by five centimeters, blurring the threshold between interior and exterior. The mirrored surface captures fragments of sky and courtyard, creating a tranquil, Eastern-inspired ambience, where seating transforms into sculptural art.
Within this overarching framework, refined Art Deco details enrich select areas, adding emotional and functional depth. An art corridor framed by five pairs of colonnades leads to a multifunctional hall, adaptable for private gatherings or formal business events, offering versatile practicality.
