Unveiling OCT The Riviera: A Masterpiece by Kot Ge - LSDCASA

Winner of the Silver A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2019

The OCT The Riviera project, designed by the acclaimed team at LSDCASA, is a testament to the power of simplicity and respect for the ordinary. The design, which won the prestigious Silver A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2019, is a striking representation of the present culture that values ordinary people, things, and days. The project is a vivid illustration of the lifestyle of cherishment and reverence for nature.

The design of OCT The Riviera is characterized by its unique properties. The project, located on the west bank of Xianghu Lake, appears like a floating "square box" connected by a sculpture to the park entrance. The interior, primarily in tones of black, white, and gray, creates a quiet and powerful architectural environment. This strong hierarchical rhythm creates a beauty with different levels.

The realization of this design was a feat of architectural innovation. The room features an evident water bar table, flanked by two stately black stone walls, creating a sense of depth and mystery. The white marble bar table, like a pontoon bridge between gorges, from which water murmurs down, adds to the intrigue of the space.

One of the key challenges in the design process was showcasing light in various ways while also highlighting the spatiality of light to present the fourth dimension, time. The design successfully captures the changing feelings from spring to winter, sunrise to sunset, as light displays the passage of time.

The design of OCT The Riviera was a result of extensive research into culture and nature. The designers aimed to concretize culture, focusing on the respect for ordinary people, things, and days, while also cherishing and revering nature. The result is a design that is far from being a mere symbol but a true embodiment of present culture and nature.

In conclusion, OCT The Riviera by Kot Ge - LSDCASA is a remarkable design that beautifully encapsulates the essence of simplicity and reverence for nature. The project is a testament to the power of design in capturing and conveying the nuances of culture and nature. This award-winning design is a shining example of the innovative and creative prowess of the team at LSDCASA.
