"I have no faith in anything that is easy, quick, spontaneous, improvisational, ambiguous. I believe in the power of slow, peaceful, slow flow, steady, calm." -- Calvino

Behavioral Thinking

Based on wood, we expand and extend an imaginary scene, which is the new exhibition hall space of Youqi International wood, "excellent in quality, strange for design" is the origin of the name of Youqi International, two entrepreneurs with dreams, from the user's point of view, hope to create a real service to the use of habits, and fine details of customized wood products.

Here, life and nature, active human behavior track and stable architectural structure, in the design of the confrontation, not only in the space to plan people's walking path, but also in the behavior of people's own habits to think about the inevitable purpose of the series of scenes, so that a circle as the center of condensation, and then naturally released into the surrounding independent scene construction.

Scenes, Condensed and Scattered

After passing through the welcome desk at the main entrance, we come to an extensive emotional conversion space, with the circle in the center of the building as the beginning of everything, radiating everywhere, corresponding to different entrances, and transforming into different use scenarios.

The scene is divided into two parts simply through the bright and dark theme colors. The dark space on the left carries the functions of the kitchen and reading area, and the beige space on the right faces the huge 270° floor-to-ceiling window, bringing abundant light feelings. In this way, under the commercial expression logic of the exhibition space, we can foresee the landing effect of products in different style environments.

The column structure of the central area adopts the differentiated design logic on the surface facing different areas, which can be regarded as the "order" in a paragraph, connecting the planes of different parts, integrating the parts into an integral structure.

"Break" - A Connector Between Materials

In the process of exchange between different materials, we need a broken section to express the end of one material and the beginning of another material. In this project, this broken section can be output as a mirror display, or a metal expression. Special materials of sub-metal run through the beginning and end of the space, showing the technological effect, but also providing an immersive luxury experience of the mansion.

The wood veneer of the project comes from Lusai Family, which takes "creating a happy life" as the core concept of the brand. Each product is sourced from eight global log procurement bases, selecting rare and precious wood that has been bred by nature for a hundred years, inherits the spirit of craftsmanship of excellence, applies popular aesthetic color matching and exquisite details to make the space integrated.

Natural Reasoning Logic

Thinking about how to present the brand image in the design logic of commercial space, the competitor believes that the function of the scene must be solved first.

The physical state of the building is considered from the functional perspective, the purpose of the existence of the functional scene is analyzed, and the functional layout is backwards deduced from the form basis of the space itself, which cannot be changed, causing the relationship between separation and focus. This kind of confrontation between forward and reverse thinking makes the scene visually present the balance between the use state in the natural deduction.

If the column in the center of the scene is the "sequence", the metal symbol is the "broken section", and the corridor extending in all directions is the passage from the beginning to the end, then in the end, our sight also needs a closed "end".

In the corner of the living room scene, an extra corner in the original space, through the folded ceiling shape, falling water droplet mirror structure, so that in the flat structure, this drop will not fall metal water droplets, reflect the light of the scene to form an intricate and confusing sense, naturally inject smart vitality into the scene, but also perfectly write a rounded "period". The intense emotion is complete, and the scene interacts with each other to turn into a calm water surface.

Reason is impermanent, but things are impermanent.

Jingxiang believes that design is never fixed in the established logic, under different business purposes, design conforms to the structure, to the function, to the use of the way, to the brand itself... Thus presented as different effects, all natural, can withstand scrutiny, but also withstand the grinding of time.
