Grace Kwai's design is a unique blend of form and function, embodying the intelligence of interior hardware facilities. The Shimao Wisdom Door is more than just an exhibition center. It's a hub for leading tech companies like Alibaba and Tencent, and a platform for showcasing future artificial intelligence products and government technology.
The design concept is a reflection of the philosophical idea that everything in the universe is connected and cyclical. This idea is manifested in the exhibition center's modern technology and Internet of Things (IoT) concept. The color palette of black and white sets the basic tone, while the use of glass for the surrounding walls and black marble for the floor enhances the modern technology sense in the dark environment.
The exhibition center is equipped with a range of functional areas including an entrance hall, display screen, core stage, water bar, negotiation area, VIP interview room, media room, public restroom, and workplace. The first floor houses a meeting room, finance room, art display area, outdoor seating area, and inner courtyard landscape. These areas are interconnected, forming a cohesive space where light, shadow, meaning, art, and concept are integrated.
One of the design's standout features is a vast black original art installation that wraps the spiral stairs. This installation, when viewed from a distance, resembles a mountain's reflection on a tranquil lake. The entrance hall, which serves as the main communication area for visitors, exudes a sense of Zen and imagination.
The Shimao Wisdom Door is a testament to Grace Kwai's belief that design should convey a specific life attitude and meet people's needs for space functions. It's a perfect example of how function and aesthetics can be combined with a soul, much like a human. This design is not just about meeting functional requirements, but also about creating a unique exhibition center space through regular products with original design.
The Shimao Wisdom Door is a shining example of innovation and design excellence. It's a testament to the power of design to transform spaces and create environments that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. This award-winning design is a beacon of inspiration for designers and architects worldwide, showcasing the limitless possibilities of modern design and technology.
