DESIGN NAME: Ruyuan
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Sales Centre
INSPIRATION: With a long history of several thousand years, Xi'an is endowed with cultural confidence and a poetic character. The project is situated at the college town, Chang'an District of Xi'an, an area that carries the locals' memories of youth and humanistic sentiments. Considering that it was the last plot to be developed in VANKE TOWN, the client envisioned to create a unique "experience" demonstration zone through empathetic design.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: At the reception area, a customized art installation functions as the background, which looks like a painting, depicting the transformation of the city. 70,000 pieces of fragments, made of steel with fluorocarbon coating, were elaborately arranged to present the original appearance of traditional architectures in Xi'an.
The designers drew inspirations from Chinese classical gardens and designed a circular entryway, which is quite different from the boxy type in modern architectures.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The project is situated at the college town, Chang'an District of Xi'an, an area that carries the locals' memories of youth and humanistic sentiments. Considering that it was the last plot to be developed in VANKE TOWN, the client envisioned to create a unique "experience" demonstration zone through empathetic design.
Bearing in mind that the property is targeted at new middle class in the city, the design team focused on utilizing contemporary approaches to create a space full of historic charm.
CHALLENGE: The real estate industry in China features fast development process. The designers was entrusted by the client to complete the design within a time period which is merely one third of normal project design cycle. In such limited time, they had to identify the project's attributes, and coordinate time, cost and construction feasibility as well as memory-evoking effect and realization of the design scheme, which was challenging.
