The Dome's design draws inspiration from the caisson patterns, a unique decorative part of the indoor ceiling in traditional Chinese architecture. This design element not only embodies the aesthetic value of the Chinese people but also symbolizes the spiritual communication between heaven and mankind. The Dome, therefore, is more than just a sales center; it is a cultural symbol and a beacon of architectural innovation.
What sets The Dome apart from other sales centers is its unique design properties. It incorporates traditional Chinese philosophy and cosmology into a modern interior space, extracting unique cultural symbols of Lingnan architecture into design elements. By using modern design techniques, urban cultural genes are injected into the space, creating a unique and engaging environment for visitors.
The Dome's realization is a testament to the innovative use of design technology. The original square layout was transformed into a circular caisson, introducing natural light into the interior through the fifth facade of the building. This ingenious design strategy not only solved the problem of insufficient lighting but also created a stunning visual effect, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the space.
Despite the challenges of a deep interior space and limited natural light, the design team, led by Kris Lin and Anda Yang, managed to overcome these obstacles by employing skylights and introducing natural light through the fifth facade of the building. This innovative solution not only improved the lighting but also added a unique architectural element to the design.
The Dome is more than just a sales center; it is a cultural symbol and a beacon of architectural innovation. It is a testament to the harmonious fusion of ancient and contemporary design principles. The Dome was awarded the Golden A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2022, a testament to its extraordinary excellence and significant impact on the world of design.
