Longfor Origin Sales Center

Platinum A' Design Award Winner 2023

The architectural language of Cindy Jin's Longfor Origin Sales Center operates through a sophisticated symbolic vocabulary that positions the space as a threshold between earthly commerce and celestial aspiration, employing the oculus as an archetypal portal connecting human endeavor with cosmic order. The circular form carries profound symbolic weight across cultures, representing wholeness, eternity, perfection, and the cyclical nature of time, here functioning as a crown or apex that sanctifies the commercial activities occurring below. The triangulated glass structure within the circle introduces the geometric symbolism of the triangle, traditionally associated with aspiration, stability, and trinitarian wholeness, while the multiplication of triangular forms suggests crystalline structure and the mathematical precision underlying natural phenomena. The spiral motif governing the surrounding architecture evokes universal symbols of growth, evolution, and cosmic energy, found in phenomena from nautilus shells to galaxy formations, suggesting that this commercial space participates in fundamental patterns of natural creation. The ascending chrome sculptures function as symbolic intermediaries, their teardrop forms suggesting both organic seeds and celestial bodies, their upward trajectory encoding aspirational meaning about elevation, transformation, and the journey from material to ethereal states. The warm metallic palette draws upon gold symbolism, traditionally associated with solar energy, divine light, immortality, and supreme value, transforming the commercial function into something approaching the sacred treasury. The interplay between geometric precision and organic fluidity suggests a reconciliation of rational order with natural growth, technological achievement with biological wisdom. The perforated surfaces visible at the periphery introduce the symbolism of the veil or screen, mediating between interior and exterior, known and unknown, while their pattern suggests star fields extending the cosmic metaphor throughout the spatial experience.

The dynamic spiral chandelier dances with the music and sparkles with lights and shadows, giving viewers an immersive experience. The social space is full of charm thanks to the spiral staircase with a curry and metallic texture that connects the two stories. The astrolabe design allows people to embrace their imaginations accompanied by a starry sky. In this context, the Longfor Origin is turned into a customized club space that integrates art, technology, humanities, health, business and entertainment, with the sales center serving as a hidden function.
