RESEARCH ABSTRACT: To bring out the theme, the large stainless steel logo signage hanged from ceiling and glittering down there, whereas a row of bamboo-like down lights are working behind it as a backdrop as they spread from above of ticket box counter to the where the ticket machines are. The massive set of decoration appears like the Bilbao Guggenheim Museum has been built inside a bamboo forest, this is how the design concept being exhibited in an observable manner. The spatial planning of the lobby space is unintentionally unsystematic, which is similar to Frank Gehry’s contemporary style with a stroke of abstract art. The brownish marble finish with natural web pattern on all over the walls and counters in the interior are the media that perform the style of
Gehry, with the contemporary form that is enriched by the natural pattern. Two rows of stainless steel wall hung fixture with rosary gold mirror finish have surrounded the interior with the bamboo down lights and marble wall finishes, along with various fittings such as skirting, ATMs, LCD monitors and poster light boxes, all perfectly fitted on the stainless steel features. Repetitive and industrial form of the stainless steel features crushed with the shimmering material on them, then here comes the palette of contemporary style and natural style in this space. As well, the three kinds of marble floor finishes with different colour tones have developed into an abstract style portrait with their geometric shapes, which fulfilled a vision of three dimensional art by the match up with the lobby setting.
CHALLENGE: This kind of gorgeousness with messages has been established here by the freestanding basins with distinctive appearance, the groove ornaments right above them has proven the existence of the gorgeousness. Atop of the design features mentioned above, there is another even more eye-catching feature, which is the
rosary gold finished stainless steel trimmings with light troughs next to cubicle doors, condensed splendor of nature with a twist of shimmering contemporary sensation are the words to describe this feature. On the other hand, the mirrors offer the same atmosphere too. As long as it is the place for the relief of visitors, so just take the “sparkling little creek” ceiling feature as the very last subject feature of this project’s design theme.
