Luxe art gallery is located in Haikou. This cladding-style building is built in a seaside park, with a huge green area and wetland that wraps this art gallery in nature, like a white rock. The art gallery hopes to create a spiritual interface with nature for the viewer and to plant the seeds of art in the aesthetic soil of the city of Haikou. ENJOYDESIGN, which is responsible for the design of the space: rigorously extrapolating the commonality between nature and art, focusing on the browsing line, viewing experience and the shaping of art forms, trying to open the boundary between architecture, landscape and interior, so that the three can be united and rounded into one. 

The process of entering the art museum is made into an interesting exploration, as the viewer walks through the narrow passageway and then opens up to the building itself through the dense rainforest. The circular space of the interior is cut by a streamlined surface, dividing it into two areas, inside and outside. A large number of contact points are added, and in the vivid exploration of the winding paths, people interact with people, spaces and partition walls, bringing a rich spatial experience. The flow of the sales office and the art museum is considered, and the free curve is formed through the flow of people visiting and walking in the space to achieve a dialogue between people and space. 

A container of light and shadow is created, using glass, tree shadows, walls and blocks as the generating elements, with direct light, light through glass, light through leaves and reflected light working together to create a rich expression in different seasons, times and weather. The "dark" space is the exhibition space of the art gallery. The "light" space is the tour space. The same space is divided into two paths, one light and one dark, with different timelines, landscapes and views. The skylight brings the sunlight deep into the building and creates light spots on the ground, bringing some interesting accents to the areas away from the atrium. At the beginning and end of the two streams are two beautiful glass boxes that open to the lake, forming an aesthetic closure with a rhythm of "light", "dark" and "light". 

A variety of light-directing methods make the Yon-Art Museum a rich light-collection box. The huge ring-shaped ceiling allows light to pour in from all around and illuminate the space through diffuse reflection of the walls, without affecting the presentation of the giant screen display while enriching the artistic atmosphere. The living community embracing the rainforest creates an immersive experience of tasting nature and time. Surrounded by a large area of woodland and sky light, the viewer is completely isolated from the outside world, both integrated into the landscape and independent in spirit. With a respectful attitude towards nature, the viewer seeks a unique taste of solitude.
