Chinese Quiet Mood: A New Take on Traditional Design

Horizon Ma's Innovative Approach to Chinese Architecture and Interior Design

Horizon Ma, a renowned designer, has created a unique design project, "Chinese Quiet Mood". This design, which serves as a sales center, draws inspiration from the ancient canals that pass through the city. The project has been lauded for its innovative approach to Chinese architecture and interior design, winning the Silver A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2018.

The "Chinese Quiet Mood" project stands out for its unique blend of traditional and modern elements. The design is characterized by a two-story space, reminiscent of a sculptural staircase, and a brick wall featuring ripple-like patterns. These elements are designed to evoke the passage of time and people's yearning for a better life. The use of old wood and bronze further enhances the sense of history and tradition.

The design is not just about aesthetics, but also about creating a unique visual experience. The brick wall, for instance, is designed to create a 3D-like visual effect. Depending on the viewing angle, the wall offers different visual experiences, adding a dynamic element to the space.

The "Chinese Quiet Mood" project was realized using a variety of materials, including wood, stone, and special glass. Despite its complex design, the project was completed in a 1000 square meter area. The design team, led by Horizon Ma, worked diligently to ensure that the project was completed to the highest standards.

The project is not just a design marvel, but also a functional space. The second floor of the sales center features a variety of areas, including a living room and a greenhouse. These spaces are designed to give potential homeowners a glimpse of the high-quality life that they can expect.

One of the main challenges in designing the "Chinese Quiet Mood" project was to create a design that is distinctly Chinese, but not overly traditional. The design team achieved this by adopting modern design practices and eliminating certain traditional elements. The result is a design that is unmistakably Chinese, but with a fresh, modern twist.

The "Chinese Quiet Mood" project is a testament to Horizon Ma's innovative approach to design. By seamlessly blending traditional and modern elements, Ma has created a design that is not only visually stunning, but also deeply rooted in Chinese culture. This project serves as a shining example of how designers can draw on their cultural heritage to create designs that are both innovative and meaningful.
