Zhongzhou Peninsula City Amenity Spaces

Deconstructionism
Design deconstruction is a philosophical process, a worldview level understanding.

Perhaps, another facet of Qingdao’s character hides behind the ultimate design, embellished by history, culture and art; elements deconstructed and reorganized in the present: Zhongzhou Peninsula City.

The design approach reflects the life philosophy of the designer. In such a rich and fertile space, we understand the relationship between people and the world. In the flow of time, we grasp every detail of growth. A deconstructionist approach is observed in the graduation and overlap of structures, materials, and colors, forming a concise spatial aura from the original appeal of the space, stimulating emotions in the viewer.

“You will coexist with the sunlight, the land, and the ocean.”

For Chinese people, the scenery must appeal to their emotions and intentions. It must create a warm mood, full of ambiance, inviting people to think about life.

Through the present and into the future, space nourishes body and mind. It flows in absolute freedom, allowing us to experience nature in the form of timely rain and green mountains and civilization as the distant bell sounds in the quiet of the night.

Not disturbed by prosperity or adversity, I witnessed flowers blossom and wither. Not minding to stay or to leave, I watched the scudding and clearing of clouds.

Spatial Order
Stone materials run through the interiors, expanding across large areas. Their bold lines and strong textures stimulate mental associations with nature, sometimes creating a dynamic visual rhythm, sometimes providing a finishing touch. Intermittently present through the entire space, this feature evokes a calm yet strong sense of tension.

The highest level of aesthetics is also the highest ideal of life. Looking at the surroundings, people feel immersed in a poetic and artistic environment.

Materials are an essential carrier of design expression, as they shape the spatial atmosphere. Aware of this, the designer implements a precise and consistent approach to materials that fully harnesses all architectural stone elements.

Found around every corner of the project, the artistic pieces devoted to the land are a source of inspiration. Upon setting sight on them, we cannot help but think about the harmony between space, home, and nature.

Artistic Creativity
The negotiation area includes a design masterpiece of the 20th century: the Falkland Lamp by the Italian designer Bruno Munari. Its spontaneous shape represents poetic and philosophical intersections. It also demonstrates a purely creative process found in futurism and abstract art.

Creativity cannot be limited by fixed definitions.

The designer procures an effective balance between functionality and aesthetics. With the combination of the most relevant features from the East and the West, the design approach adds a poetic yet natural feeling to the project.

The casual and natural dimensions of the space set an elegant tone, concise yet compelling, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Honesty and grace are reflected in every detail sketching the interiors, resembling dark strokes of ink that add depth to the design, like a traditional Chinese painting.

Design not only shapes spaces but also our experiences in those spaces.

Soft and hard textures touched by delightful day and night light changes generate a comfortable atmosphere of security. Furthermore, the use of soft and gentle tones in the project cultivates a caring and trustworthy sense of community.

The children’s area on the first floor and the resident’s living area on the second floor provide a compatible and interlinked atmosphere of simultaneous distinction and openness.
