Design is the construction of a "realistic relationship between man and the ideal world" in the truest sense.

Shuiguo Onsen is near to the Tonghui River. To break the original overly neat spatial pattern, the designer weakened the concept of entrance and formed a cracked "canyon" by metal materials which blur the definition of the boundary in dynamic vision, intending to allow people to discover another world in the successive images.

Onsen is basically a freehand brushwork of canyon. The ceiling shape of the indoor onsen looks like the stalactite from the cave but geometrically abstracted. The cliff as the building's facade of outdoor onsen creates a connection between the indoors and the outdoors. Looking up along the cliff while bathing to enjoy the natural scenery what space frame.

The spaces spread on both sides of the extensive staircase which are the main activity areas. Every hallway is distributed like how the street is built around the triumphal arch in Paris. The most intriguing one is the “Eco tree” promenade and exists in the name of "Children's Paradise". The strong sense of form and rich layers provides a variety of unique perspectives of sightseeing. And offered an opportunity for photography enthusiasts.

The tatami entertainment area behind KAWS is abundant in shape, resembling an Eco tree or a cave. The lazy sofas set in small spaces with privacy are suitable for resting alone or playing games. Space drops a clear accent on the proper materials and forms to contribute to the proper mood and atmosphere.

Behind the entertainment area, there is a nice panoramic reading zone on the second floor. The double-layer circular bookshelves and the vertical grid enclose a quiet independent space. A state of tranquility and pacifying the minute light perches on the reading area ensues - a guest could luxuriate in the relaxation in its fullness.

Different from the ordinary exaggerated visual forms, the tea room on the top floor with local characteristics - the traditional gray bricks and tiles are scarce resources in Beijing nowadays. Therefore, the roof terrace has become the optimum selection for achieving a diverse perspective of the city. It has been dotted with delicate texture; the warm-tone wood and the beige interior create a Japanese-style intimate atmosphere.

Wang Bing relies on his professional design background and the understanding of the aesthetics of design to redefine the long-existing way of life. And gives it new vitality and spirit through his exquisite design concept, creating public living spaces that are loved and shared by young people.
