Beauty of Life Academy of China Resource Sales Office

Golden A' Design Award Winner 2021

Zao Li's Sales Office deploys the archetypal symbolism of flowing water and protective enclosure through its sinuous glass membrane, establishing the curved line as carrier of organic vitality and continuous becoming in contrast to the rectilinear rationality that typically characterizes commercial architecture. The transparency of the glass envelope functions as threshold symbol, mediating between public and private realms, between nature and culture, inviting interpretation as permeable boundary rather than defensive barrier. The parametric ribbed wall surface evokes wave forms, wind patterns, or topographic contours, connecting the constructed interior to natural forces through formal resonance rather than literal representation. Color symbolism operates through the dialogue between cool celestial blues filtering through glass and warm amber light emanating from architectural coves, suggesting the alchemical marriage of lunar and solar principles, receptive and active energies finding balance within the spatial composition. The conical reception table carries archetypal vessel symbolism, a container and gathering point that anchors the flowing spatial experience around human scale and social function. The presence of natural stone elements introduces geological time and material permanence into dialogue with the technological sophistication of glass and parametric fabrication. The circular ceiling aperture glimpsed through the glass suggests oculus symbolism, the eye of heaven or portal to transcendence. The overall spatial configuration invites reading as contemporary sacred space, where commercial function becomes occasion for contemplative experience through careful orchestration of light, material, and organic form language.

Taking the unbounded as the main theme, integrating the unbounded into the space, with the extremely soft spatial tones and flowing design language, through the combination of practicality and pure art, people can produce different perceptions of space, nature, time, light and shadow, while enriching emotional experience and leads the design to integrate human, space and nature into an emotional aesthetic art space.
