Dragon-Inspired Design Soars to New Heights

Danny Cheng's Sandalwood Sales Offices Win Silver A' Design Award

Inspired by the form of a dragon, Danny Cheng's design for the Sandalwood Sales Offices in Chengdu, China, embodies a unique blend of architecture and interior design. The project, completed in March 2016, has been recognized with a prestigious Silver A' Design Award.

Danny Cheng's design for the Sandalwood Sales Offices is a testament to his ability to merge form and function seamlessly. The exterior of the sales office is characterized by a rectangular glass curtain wall and steel structure, while the interior walls and floor are adorned with dolomite marble or a white-colored finish to maintain consistency.

The reception area exudes an atmosphere of sophistication, thanks to the marble and cloud-like hanging light. However, the standout feature of the design is the long matte black staircase that connects the ground floor and the first floor. This element not only creates a striking contrast to the white interior but also symbolizes a dragon, embodying the client's aspiration for their business to soar.

The sales office operates in an open space, with the discussion area and display area located at both ends. This layout fosters open interaction between people while enhancing the sense of space. This feeling of openness extends to the exterior, further reinforcing the design's unique properties.

Spanning 1017 sq.m, the Sandalwood Sales Offices project is a testament to Cheng's innovative approach to design. His ability to draw inspiration from cultural symbols and translate them into functional design elements sets him apart in the field. The dragon-inspired staircase, in particular, is a powerful representation of the client's business aspirations.

The project's recognition with a Silver A' Design Award in 2017 underscores its excellence. This award is given to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that demonstrate outstanding expertise and innovation. Cheng's design for the Sandalwood Sales Offices certainly fits this description, showcasing a remarkable level of excellence and introducing positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.
