Live Beauty
The architects didn't invent anything, they just took the traditional feeling and the unique personal expression, and made a reasonable self-transformation of reality. -Alvaro Siza
Located inHangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Godot Design explores the spiritual demands of the customers of Live Beauty brand. With the story of the Golden Fleece in Greek mythology as the invisible narrative clue, it tries to enlighten the body and mind through the construction and extension of the space drama scene, as well as the organic interaction between people, fields and objects, to open the road of beauty exploration.
The experience of materials, space and order in architecture all resides in people's body feelings. Based on the positioning of the beauty space of the project, the design of Godot starts from people's on-site experience. The facade of the building is divided by two gentle arcs to define the gentle temperament of the field, and at the same time, the square geometric matrix sequence balances the professional and rational visual clues. Using the camber of the corner of the facade, the horizontal action line is adopted to form the main entrance of the space and expand the spatial narrative.
The crystal glass brick and the curved wall form surround the bright porch storage space. During the day, the sunlight comes in through the glass and falls in the porch. With the changes of the light in the day, it seems that you can feel the touch of time passing by inch by inch. When night comes, the light inside is reflected through the glass. The light contributes to the inversion of the space inside and outside, introducing the change of time and nature into the interior of the entrance.
Beauty comes from the form of beauty and the echo of the whole and part. The circle is the purest, unified, balanced, firm and spacious form among all forms. Pandora marble, wood finish paint and acrylic, copper metal with different gestures, through the artistic presentation, surround the circular arc information desk in the space
Godot Design refined the right-angle geometric force to ease the easy-going and visible arc Angle in the classical elements of space. The opposite side of the information desk was carved with vertical Windows on all sides to absorb the sunshine and green outdoors. The black European art circle stood quietly in the corner, and the light became the time, which broke the order of arrangement and endowed the space with rich emotions with changing scenes and light and shadow.
The space furnishings remove the complexity, elegant beige color through different materials spread in the space, product display cabinets in the shape of triumphal arch presents the facade sculptural sense; The texture of the same color chandelier and the texture of the bar paint extended from the information desk echo each other, forming an open interface for interaction between people, space and objects.
Following the invisible clues of the space story to present the past of ancient Greece, Godot Design deduces the classical architectural vocabulary to the space. Here we see the classical column style, no longer attached to the necessity of architectural structure, as an artistic element connecting the narrative clues of the space. The arch full of ritual sense and stacked stairs generate space nodes through the VIP care area on the second floor. The rectangular lines of the stairs form a dynamic rhythm in the space and enrich the visual dimension of the space.
People's aesthetic habits do not come from nowhere. They are part of the cultural trend of thought of The Times. The quiet mind is like a court, along the level. In each unique and private space on the second floor, interweaving classical architectural lines and undulating blocks are interwoven. In the rendering of outdoor light and indoor light, different light texture, color and texture are added to the space, giving customers a relaxed and quiet embodied experience when enjoying care.
In the end, the beauty is the understanding of the connection between the inner self and the external world. The washbasin integrates the natural plain texture of the stone with the classical architectural elements, just like the carving by the hand of time, which precipitates the beautiful but moving texture.
