At the beginning of 2020, we came into contact with the design project in Daqing. Different from the sunny climate of Kunming that we are familiar with, the icy and snowy environment in northeast winter is more calm, even in the sun, it is cooler and more elegant.
Nissage is a spa brand and the Daqing Store is a building renovation project. Having an independent building and facade is the advantage of this project.
The architectural interface responds to the city, which is the design focus of this project.
Daqing, a young oil industry city with hard working history. On the basis of maintaining the original volume, the newly reconstructed facade conveys the spirit of the city and citizens vision for the future in the post-pandemic era.
Appropriate facade design can build a good brand identity.
By using the architectural skin of hollow grid aluminum panels, inwards, the surrounding environment is filtered, creating a quiet and peaceful shelter in the city; outwards, simple geometric cuts and deliberately designed line borders and detailed lighting convey the architectural expression. The facade is frosty and sculptural, at the same time permeates the warm and mysterious sense of the building.
The interface links the inside and the outside, the past and the future.
As a renovation project, space restoration is another key point of the design. Under the original frame system, two new curved walls in the ground floor create a new order of use for new requirements. Time flows in between, and light and shadow change between the square-inch grids. Some new public spaces were partially demolished on the second floor, adding new open space nodes to the original rigid spatial order. After renovation, the traces of the original karaoke in the building no longer exist, the hustle and bustle of the past has vanished between the new tenderness and confusion of the present.
In contrast to the snow and ice outside, warmth and tranquility are our tireless pursuits in the design.By making some grey spaces between interior and exterior of the building, It blurs the boundaries of space and time, making people immersed in it unconsciously and forgetting to return.
The retro atmosphere which simple and unified texture coating created makes people slightly drunk with the dense light, as if immersed in the mottled and shadow under the autumn tree.
Creating a quiet atmosphere in the interior — In the morning, the sun shines into the interior through the hollow bricks. Occasionally, the ripples on the water surface are reflected to the top surface of interior. Lighting an incense, the fragrance surrounds the agarwood on the tea table,the quiet and peaceful atmosphere likes walking in the mountains alone in the early morning sunlight.
Nissage is committed to providing citizens with a shelter in the city, exuding the joy of quietness. Enjoy the pleasure of being alone by doing massage here in the busyness.
