A grand double-height interior lobby unfolds before you, its atmosphere one of hushed refinement and contemporary elegance. Beginning at the left portion, a tall rectangular alcove recessed into cream-colored stone walls contains a reception desk carved from white marble with subtle gray veining, smooth and cool to imagine touching. Behind this desk stands a woman in a white blouse, her presence providing human scale against the towering space. A warm amber strip of light traces the inner edge of this alcove, creating a gentle glow like late afternoon sunlight. Moving rightward across the composition, the dominant central wall rises perhaps four stories high, clad in large rectangular panels of brushed metal in graduated tones—soft pewter gray transitioning to warm bronze-taupe. These surfaces appear satiny, neither fully matte nor reflective. From the upper right portion of the ceiling descends a remarkable sculptural installation: dozens of translucent glass forms resembling water droplets or river stones suspended on thin wires, catching light in cool blue-gray and silver tones, clustered densely at top and dispersing as they fall toward the floor. Below this cascade, resting on the polished floor, sits a large shallow vessel in dark bronze, perhaps three meters wide, shaped like an enormous ceremonial bowl with gently curved sides. Beside it, two spherical stone sculptures display concentric carved grooves circling their surfaces, suggesting the texture of weathered wood grain or geological strata—rough yet rhythmic to touch. The floor throughout gleams with mirror-like polish in charcoal-gray stone, reflecting every vertical element and doubling the apparent height of the space.
From the exterior circular building structure to the internal spatial layout, the circle is the core. With the structural characteristics of the circular building, it diverges outward to form a spatial pattern relationship of opening and closing, virtual and solid. "Earth Park" as the theme, the space is based on the ethereal artistic conception of regional beauty, combined with modern materials, techniques, light and shadow and the opening and closing of space, and the changes of virtuality and reality create the "Mirror, Flower, Water and Moon Poem, understatement of the painting". This kind of poetic and picturesque space beauty.
