Golden A' Design Award Winner 2020
Scanning this interior environment from floor to ceiling, the description begins at the floor plane which features a striking pattern of black circular dots approximately the size of dinner plates distributed evenly across a white ground surface, creating a graphic carpet that extends throughout the visible space, feeling bold and rhythmic underfoot like stepping across giant buttons. Rising from circular platforms in cream and soft blush tones that suggest cushioned surfaces like firm ottomans, massive sculptural forms command the middle ground, the largest positioned at center-left resembling stacked bowls or organic vessels reaching perhaps two stories in height. These sculptures feature a cool slate blue color like weathered denim or twilight sky, adorned with decorative patterns in cream and soft coral including circular motifs reminiscent of eyes or targets and scalloped edges suggesting lotus petals or ornamental frosting. Moving rightward, additional bulbous forms appear in warmer tones, a peachy coral like ripe melon flesh decorated with blue and cream patterns, and softer pink forms suggesting cotton candy or strawberry ice cream. Vertical striped columns in mint green and white like peppermint candy create visual rhythm throughout the space. The ceiling consists entirely of mirror panels that perfectly reflect everything below, creating the sensation of standing in an infinite space extending both above and below, as though suspended within a snow globe filled with whimsical creatures. The reflected forms seem to drip or emerge from above like fantastic stalactites in a fairy-tale cave. The lighting feels warm and diffused, as though filtered through cloud cover, creating a gentle glow across the glossy sculptural surfaces. The overall atmosphere suggests playful wonder and imaginative transportation, the coolness of an aquatic environment balanced by warm decorative touches.
The combination of service-oriented business with new business forms is a trend. The designer experimentally integrates the subsidiary functions of the project with main business, re-optimizes the main functions of parent-child sports training, and builds the project into a comprehensive space for swimming and sports education, integrating entertainment and leisure.
