Golden A' Design Award Winner 2020

This interior space presents a contemporary reception area characterized by flowing curved walls finished in pale grey textured plaster and a dramatic multi-layered ceiling feature overhead. Scanning from the ceiling downward, the upper portion reveals nested elliptical forms, perhaps three or four concentric curved planes stepping upward, each illuminated along its inner edge creating soft glowing rings that seem to float in space, the effect reminiscent of looking up through layered clouds or rippling water. Suspended from this ceiling aperture hangs a sculptural light installation consisting of multiple disc-shaped elements in warm coral red and copper tones, connected by thin metallic stems, cascading downward like abstract flowers or seedpods, their warm coloration providing striking contrast against the cool grey surroundings. The dominant architectural feature, a massive curving wall, sweeps from left of center toward the right, its surface finished in a subtle marbled grey plaster with gentle tonal variations suggesting handcrafted application, cool to the touch like polished concrete yet warmer in appearance. At left, a tall narrow passage opens through the wall into shadowed space beyond, framed by the curve creating mystery and depth. The floor throughout appears as polished travertine in warm honey and cream tones with natural linear veining, smooth and cool underfoot, reflecting light softly. At center-right, a reception desk constructed from matching travertine features clean geometric forms, its surfaces suggesting the weight and coolness of natural stone. In the far right alcove, a life-sized figurative sculpture in blue-green patinated bronze depicts a standing human form, providing contemplative presence and human scale reference within the architectural abstraction.

City, life, art, a mild beauty in simplification. The sharp lines and curves contribute to the freedom and inclusiveness of the space while the mix-up of rectangle and column blends the masculinity and femininity. The elaborate materials, along with the harmonious mixture of cold and warm tones, are all integrated into lines and shapes. The entrance of the venue is featured with the pattern of an art gallery with a diminished commercial atmosphere, to deliver mildness in elegance and simplification in delicacy.
