Shanghai, China
The architects from the Kris Lin International Design have designed a development complex in Shanghai with a high-quality geographical environment and facing the natural rivers and waterfront, it has a rich collection of natural landscape resources and cultural and artistic atmosphere at the same time.
The design of this development was short-listed for a 2021 International Architecture Award from The Chicago Athenaeum and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
Through a modern design method, the four-in-one integrated design of architecture, landscape, interior, and home renovation and the strong streamlined style is used to build a modern space culture atmosphere, creating a landmark comprehensive fashion and art urban sharing space.
The project is divided into two floors: the first floor is an outdoor art plaza and a reception hall with art and culture combined here.
There are an independent art and culture hall and a liquid concept coffee shop. In addition, it is equipped with a city meeting room, tea house, elderly health center, chess and card room, children’s talent classroom, fitness center, and other functional spaces for people to engage with each other.
The second floor is the exhibition center and VIP reception room.
The collection of various functional spaces enriches the shared living experience and lifestyle of the community.
The beauty of the curve
The designer applies the natural element of “water” to the design of the building through the study of the geographical environment where the project is faced with water.
Unlike the simplicity of a straight line, the curve provides a natural feminine feel, soft and round, dynamic and fluid. It became the main design language in this case.
Whether it is a natural landscape or a fluid building full of three-dimensional structures, the interpretation of the curve will present unique vitality and dynamics.
Streamlined building
The designer combines curves with geometric shapes to create a streamlined architecture with a sense of technology and future, breaking the traditional concept of Founder architecture, incorporating streamlined fashion design into the architectural design, making the building full of rhythm and modern aesthetics like ocean waves.
Interior space
The streamlined texture of the metal creates an exquisite and intimate atmosphere.
With the smart design of the LED strip, it shows a simple and fashionable space temperament. The design of the modern art aesthetics hall and multiple functionally interactive spaces with people and culture presents the contemporary humanistic fashion atmosphere.
