Kevin Hu's Tengchong Heshunli: A Blend of Tradition and Modernity

Revolutionizing Sales Centers with Cultural Heritage and Modern Design

The Tengchong Heshunli is located at the north of the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom citysite of Tengchong City, not far from Heshun, one of the most charming ancient towns in China. As a commercial complex, it aims to build a large scale comprehensive community integrating residence, tourism, culture, commerce, leisure, and education. This ambitious project is designed to become the new landmark and business card showing Tengchong's regional culture.

The design of the Tengchong Heshunli is inspired by the spiritual evolution and cultural heritage of Tengchong. The calm and warm burlywood color is the main tone of the entire space, creating a natural, leisurely, and elegant atmosphere. The center features art paintings, movable wired glass partitions, and brass grilles, which not only add to the aesthetic appeal but also create a visual connection to the space.

One of the unique features of the Tengchong Heshunli is the geometric staircase made of wood veneer and blended with the clear white body. This design element adds warmth to the space and encourages exploration. The space also features several pieces of floor-standing art installations with different volumes, each dialoguing with different design elements.

The design of the ceiling above the main hall is the visual center of the space. Numerous log strips crisscross each other, forming an interesting facade full of tension and making up the main smallpox texture. The hanging ceiling is like a growing wooden box that runs through two layers of the space, presenting more artistic gestures.

The negotiation area of the Tengchong Heshunli is designed to be light luxury, showing a low profile and introverted posture. The huge background wall is drawn with the landscape of Tengchong, and the magnificence of mountains are in harmony with the quietness of the valleys. Dark green soft assembly decoration and clear black lines matches each other, which looks like the artistic conception of West Yunnan forest and wilderness pervaded the whole space, full of fresh, making people feel comfortable.

Kevin Hu and his team have created a space that is not only functional but also a reflection of the city's cultural heritage. The Tengchong Heshunli is a testament to the power of design in transforming spaces and creating environments that are both practical and aesthetically pleasing. This project is a shining example of how design can be used to preserve cultural heritage while also pushing the boundaries of modern design.
