Huaxing Zhongrui Nordic Park Sales Office

Golden A' Design Award Winner 2021

Zao Li's Sales Office deploys a sophisticated vocabulary of material and form to construct meaning through spatial experience. The cascading glass installation functions as a primary symbolic anchor, its water-droplet morphology potentially evoking natural phenomena—rainfall, flowing springs, or condensation—traditionally associated with purification, renewal, and life-giving forces across numerous cultural traditions. The vertical descent creates a kinetic quality suggesting continuous transformation, perhaps referencing cyclical time or the perpetual flow between states of being. Below this celestial intervention, the bronze vessel assumes the archetypal form of the ceremonial offering bowl, a shape resonant with hospitality rituals, abundance symbolism, and sacred reception across numerous cultural contexts. Its shallow concave form suggests receptivity and gathering, counterbalancing the dispersive quality of the installation above. The paired stone spheres introduce geometric perfection—the sphere as symbol of wholeness and cosmic completion—while their carved concentric striations may reference tree rings, geological layering, or mandala-like meditative patterns, all suggesting accumulated time and natural processes. The material hierarchy moves from polished reflective surfaces at ground level through matte warmth in the middle register to luminous transparency at the ceiling, potentially encoding an elemental progression from earth through metal to water and light. The mirror floor creates a below-world reflection that doubles the vertical axis, suggesting depth beneath apparent surfaces. The overall spatial composition establishes threshold experience—the liminal moment between exterior world and interior sanctuary—through monumental yet welcoming proportions.

From the exterior circular building structure to the internal spatial layout, the circle is the core. With the structural characteristics of the circular building, it diverges outward to form a spatial pattern relationship of opening and closing, virtual and solid. "Earth Park" as the theme, the space is based on the ethereal artistic conception of regional beauty, combined with modern materials, techniques, light and shadow and the opening and closing of space, and the changes of virtuality and reality create the "Mirror, Flower, Water and Moon Poem, understatement of the painting". This kind of poetic and picturesque space beauty.
