Ben Wu drew inspiration from the tranquility of Oriental gardens to create a serene atmosphere within the sales center. The entrance features a wide waterscape, setting a calm and quiet ambiance in contrast to the busy city outside. A 50-meter waterfront footpath leads visitors into the interior, subtly changing their state of mind and evoking a sense of peace amidst the urban noise.
What sets Tianxi No.1 apart is its innovative use of "partition" technique to define the space rhythm with a virtual metal mesh. This technique creates a sense of anticipation and curiosity, encouraging visitors to explore the space further. The center also boasts extensive indoor architecture, taking full advantage of the spatial height and geometric composition to create a unique skylight structure. Natural light pours onto the water surface, creating a broad light and shadow effect and enhancing the connection between man and nature.
Another distinctive feature of Tianxi No.1 is the incorporation of Dr. Ren Tianjin's calligraphy works. These works have been deconstructed and reorganized, scattered on 20 turntable installations. The tea-stained texture of the strokes adds a contemporary poetic art touch to the space, further enhancing its Oriental charm.
The design project, completed in May 2019, spans a total area of 1900 square meters. Despite its location in a bustling commercial area, Ben Wu successfully overcame the challenge of infusing Oriental aesthetics into the space, creating a sanctuary that offers an elegant and secluded lifestyle.
Tianxi No.1 is a testament to Ben Wu's exceptional design prowess and his ability to transform a commercial space into a modern Oriental oasis. It is no surprise that this innovative design has been recognized with a Golden A' Design Award, a prestigious accolade granted to trendsetting creations that significantly impact the world with their desirable characteristics.
