Golden A' Design Award Winner 2021

This audio description presents a luxurious hotel lounge interior, photographed from a position that reveals the full dramatic scope of the space, oriented in landscape format with the spectacular ceiling as the dominant visual element. Beginning overhead, the entire ceiling plane is covered with an extraordinary installation of hammered metallic panels in warm tones ranging from rose gold to copper to champagne, creating a surface texture reminiscent of thousands of overlapping scales or perhaps light dancing across gently disturbed water, warm to the eye like afternoon sunlight reflecting off a bronze mirror. These ceiling panels catch light at countless angles, some appearing brighter with champagne warmth, others receding into deeper copper shadows, creating a constant sense of movement and shimmer across the overhead expanse. Three cylindrical columns wrapped in the same hammered metallic material descend from ceiling to floor, positioned at intervals through the middle ground, their surfaces equally alive with light and texture, feeling substantial and cool like polished stone might feel to the touch. Moving to the seating level, the lounge floor is organized with circular area rugs in soft taupe, each featuring flowing linear patterns in warm terra-cotta that meander like gentle rivers or perhaps ribbons laid casually upon the surface. Upon these rugs rest groupings of furniture including curved sofas upholstered in soft dove gray fabric suggesting the plush comfort of brushed cotton, accompanied by rounded armchairs in the same gray with warm wooden legs. Deep crimson cushions punctuate the gray seating, rich as aged wine, providing warmth and visual anchor points throughout the space. Small round tables with golden brass stems and white marble tops stand ready for service. The foreground reveals a highly polished black stone floor, glossy as still water, reflecting the spectacular ceiling above and doubling the visual complexity. The atmosphere suggests quiet refinement and sophisticated gathering, hushed conversation and the subtle warmth of ambient evening light.

The Qinhuai River, an epitome of the history and culture of Nanjing, is extracted as the design theme. Ancient Chinese scholars' stories that ever happened along the riverside are translated into decoration elements via modern design approaches so that the glamour of history collides yet mixes with today's fashion and vitality in the space. In this way, a unique living experience with a taste of both elegance and vogue is delivered to guests to redefine top-class luxurious and trendy lifestyle.
