The Puer Community project is located in Yunnan, China, a region renowned for its tea production. The design of the sales center is a reflection of this cultural heritage, with the exterior of the building taking on the shape of a conch, reminiscent of cooked tea. The interior space continues this artistic concept with a tea-leaf-shaped installation serving as the visual focus and functional layout orientation.
The unique properties of this design lie in its integration of space and the natural environment. The exterior walls of the building are made of glass, allowing sunlight to interact with the wooden installation beneath the 10-meter-high roof. This interaction creates a changing light and shadow effect, adding a dynamic element to the space.
The realization of this design was a complex process that involved various technical aspects. The wooden installation, which covers an area of more than 2000 square meters, is composed of many components of different sizes. The design, manufacture, and installation of this large space project required a high level of expertise and precision. The designer used an original method inspired by the traditional Chinese wooden structure building connection principle to assemble the parts in the air, ensuring high installation efficiency and safety.
The Puer Community project was completed in October 2020, after a design duration from March to June of the same year. The project is a testament to Qingtao Ji's innovative approach to design, which combines artistic conception with functional layout. The design has been recognized with a Platinum A' Design Award, an accolade that recognizes world-class, exceptional, and highly innovative designs.
In conclusion, Qingtao Ji's Puer Community project is a remarkable example of innovative design that blends art, architecture, and technology. The project showcases the designer's ability to draw inspiration from the local culture and environment and translate it into a functional and aesthetically pleasing space. The recognition of this project with a Platinum A' Design Award is a testament to Qingtao Ji's exceptional talent and contribution to the field of design.
