Project Overview
This project displays space including oriental and contemporary elements that integrate and interact to become an inter-subjective existence responding to the design itself. The creativity of the new era enlivening the old appearance, extending the dimension of time and space. The facade of the reception center stretches to the right and left horizontally with four characters displayed repeatedly. The font sizes are displayed in order under the natural light and artificial light. The characters’ forms are
transformed into the semi-abstract icons. Deep and shallow, inside and outside, light and heavy, slow and fast, real and virtual are exposed, shaped, and exhibited. This wall interprets the scene of a day.

Project Brief
The routes of this display center are designed with the idea of a museum.
The green vegetation grows around the white building cutting it horizontally in the proportion of 1:2. Its indoor layout stretches longitudinally pushing the museum like heavy door that is made with solid wood, iron parts, and glass. The elevated lobby is decorated with red glass art installations and abstract paintings hanging at uneven height as still installations. Natural light pierces through the door and windows bringing shadows on the stone plates on the floor as dynamic exhibitions. Day and night, the light and shadow changes and interchanges frequently as if jumping ideas. Flipping canvases to transform the scenery in the lobby into a moving landscape.
Project Need
This case is all about fusion, orient vs. contemporary, mixes, blends and fits in. In response to the design itself, the renovation has given the past a second life, completely overwhelming.
Design Challenge
When it comes to interior design, it's so different from any other kind of commercial products, and the demand from the clients could go extremely complicated. From the big picture to small details, it takes a lot of hard work and even so, when the job gets done, everything pays off, totally overwhelming.
Sustainability
The overlapping light and shadow extend indoor to become the clues of the spatial fold. The hallways extend the lobby unfold into the display room, lounge, information room, and VIP room. A row of wooden framed windows open and close. To demarcate the inside and outside of the hallway, the corridors and rooms, the private and public, leisure and office spaces are concealed in the chiseled through and solid compartment windows. The light rests on the hallway which is also the chessboard of shadows with the vision zoomed to infinity with the vista reflected and bounced back. Standing here, the unfolding of the space connects the chronological flow of time. The panorama of time and tide, light and shadow, it explains the infinite possibilities beyond the fixed phenomena. Active, still, or playful, they are multidimensional and unfathomable.
