Chongqing Flower And City Sales Office

An Artistic Kaleidoscope

With the name ‘Flower and City’, designers Ajax Law & Virginia Lung selected the ‘flower’ and ‘kaleidoscope’ as their main design elements. The designers simulate the effect of looking through a kaleidoscope by the use of irregular wall edges and different colors of ball decorations.

Throughout the Chongqing Flower And City Sales Office, the walls and ceilings are neatly finished with polygonal and triangular forms in white. The designers deliberately shaped the walls to uneven irregular triangles to depict an abstract presentation of a kaleidoscope. Spheres, covered with seven different colors, hang on the walls, symbolizing the colorful flowers greeting the kaleidoscope. This scattered and disorderly arrangement, combined with the magic twist of the kaleidoscope, creates a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere.

The designers use the spheres as an abstract method to illustrate how a ‘flower’ would look like under the influence of the kaleidoscope, highlighting the flower in its most basic structural elements. The combination of the kaleidoscope and flowers creates a unique visual experience, merging the artificial and angular nature of the kaleidoscope with the organic and curved shapes of the flowers.

This design stands out from regular sales offices, capturing the essence of the 'Flower and City' theme. By merging the contrasting elements of urban development and natural greenery, the Chongqing Flower And City Sales Office represents a synchronous city, where different substances blend together to create a harmonious and visually stunning environment.

The Chongqing Flower And City Sales Office was realized using quartz stone, covering a total area of 1215 square meters. The project was completed in October 2012 in Chongqing, China.
