Qiantang Metropolis Sales Center: A Masterpiece by Ma Hui

Unveiling the Artistic Innovation in Modern Architecture

Ma Hui's design for the Qiantang Metropolis Sales Center is a testament to his ability to blend inspiration from natural elements with modern design skills. The design draws from the ebb and flow of the Qiantang River, creating a dynamic space that blurs the boundary between furnishing and interior decoration. This abstract and romantic world is a unique combination of material, spirit, and experience.

The sales center stands out with its white and transparent box, exuding a quiet, pure, and aesthetic art atmosphere. The color palette, featuring elegant sky blue and deep lake blue, is inspired by the beauty of the sky and water merging into one. The green plant on the bar counter and the colorful decorations on the wall, inspired by shells, add to the natural and cheerful atmosphere.

From the bottom to the top, the space structure varies from complexity to simplicity. The suspended ceiling, decorated with curved paper ribbons and artistic lights, imitates the glistening river. This aesthetic is echoed in the textural floor, creating a harmonious blend of lightness, figurativeness, smoothness, and glossiness. The use of hard materials like ivory white marbles, transparent glass, acrylic boards, and natural wood creates a space of quietness, softness, and changes.

The centerpiece of the space is a spiral column-free staircase, made of customized wooden panels and transparent glass. This feature adds a touch of color to the white background. Under the staircase, the landscape water flows onto the stones, creating a poetic and rhythmic space.

Ma Hui's design for the Qiantang Metropolis Sales Center has been recognized with the prestigious Platinum A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2019. This award recognizes world-class, exceptional, and highly innovative designs that showcase unmatched professionalism, genius, and contribute to societal wellbeing.

This design is a testament to Ma Hui's ability to create a textural space with modern design elements. By combining local culture and modern design, he has presented a brand new visual experience. The Qiantang Metropolis Sales Center is not just a building; it's a work of art that reimagines the spectacular Qiantang River in a space.
