The Poly Chanson Sales Center is not just a sales center; it's an experience. It's a "soft architecture," a space that exists between artistic expression and soul exploration. The design team drew inspiration from the city's rich commercial breath, the rhythm of city life, and the aspirations of the city's high-end crowd. The result is a unique structure that caters to the lifestyle of the modern elite, offering a new luxury experience philosophy.
The center's standout feature is its "Rattan Cocoon," an arch hollow structure made of 2mm thick champagne gold stainless steel strips. This massive vaulted ceiling structure, 21 meters in length and 5 meters in diameter, appears to float, thanks to custom lighting that washes over its surface. The structure is a testament to the design team's innovative use of materials and their mastery of form and function.
The Poly Chanson Sales Center spans 690 square meters, with dimensions of 22500mm in width, 28900mm in length, and 14700mm in height. Despite its size, the center maintains a sense of intimacy and warmth, thanks to its thoughtful design and careful attention to detail. It's a space that invites exploration and interaction, a testament to the design team's commitment to creating spaces that enhance the human experience.
The design process was not without its challenges. The team had to create a flexible structure that could accommodate the varying heights of the arched ceilings. They also had to ensure that the modules were perfectly crafted to maintain the cohesion and texture of the materials. Despite these challenges, the team was able to deliver a design that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
The Poly Chanson Sales Center is more than just a sales center; it's a symbol of Wuhan's growth and development. It's a space that reflects the city's vibrant energy and its commitment to innovation and progress. And it's a testament to the power of design to transform spaces and create experiences that resonate with people.
The center's design has not gone unnoticed. In 2017, it was awarded the Golden A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award, a prestigious accolade granted to designs that reflect extraordinary excellence and significantly impact the world with their desirable characteristics. It's a fitting recognition for a design that is truly a symphony of innovation and creativity.
