Chongqing Starlight Forest: A Harmony of Design and Nature

Guo Jie's Award-Winning Design Merges Urban Culture with Poetic Nature

Located at the foot of Zhaomu Mountain, Chongqing, the Starlight Forest project by Guo Jie is a testament to the harmonious blend of contemporary aesthetics, nature, and local culture. The design, which serves as a sales center, is a unique representation of city culture infused with a poetic quality, enhancing the beauty of nature and daily life through every detail.

Guo Jie's design, which covers an area of 1182 square meters, is built in harmony with its surroundings, conserving the original ecology to the maximum. This approach reflects a humble attitude towards nature, where design restrains artificial symbols and techniques, uses clean colors, forms, and materials, and makes the space match and close to nature. This design philosophy restores the essence of aesthetic life.

The Starlight Forest project is a product of integrated design, encompassing interior, architecture, and landscape. The reception hall, for instance, features a skylight that allows warm sunshine and moist air to infiltrate the room slowly. Large ground glass further extends the outdoor natural landscape into the interior, creating a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor spaces.

The project, which is located in the Yubei District of Chongqing, is a tribute to Zhaomu Mountain. It integrates regional nature and humanity to arouse a resonance between scene and art. This integration allows for the coexistence of warm urban humanity and ethereal poetic nature, displaying a profound beauty to nature and daily life in every detail.

Despite the absence of decorative language or skill, the Starlight Forest project stands out for its clean and pure design. It is a space created in the integration of nature, landscape, and architecture. This unique property of the design has earned it the Silver A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2021, a prestigious accolade awarded to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that illustrate outstanding expertise and innovation.

Guo Jie's design is a testament to the power of humble, nature-inspired design. The Starlight Forest project is not just a sales center; it is a space where people can enjoy a natural life and the slow passage of time at will. It is a space that reflects the beauty of nature and daily life in every detail, a space that resonates with art and scene, and a space that is a true tribute to Zhaomu Mountain.
