Mingzhe Water Spiritual Realm Health Club is located in Guanshan Lake District of Guiyang. It aims to subvert the tradition, thus creating a new health preservation mode from environment to service and then to technology, carrying forward the mission of focusing on technology and improving health status, and enhancing the health preservation realm and life level. Based on this appeal of the project, the designer takes Huangguoshu Waterfall, Fanjing Mountain, terraces, Castel landform, dragon boat and other unique natural landscapes in Guiyang as creative sources, integrates contemporary design techniques, breaks up the space, deconstructs and reorganizes it. Also, the modern scientific and technological equipment is combined, to create a transcendental experience journey, so as to inspire people to realize the awakening of life. The journey of exploring starts from the moment of entering the elevator hall. Abstract is integrated with concrete images, such as butterflies, flowing water, clouds, etc., which instantly brings people to a light, ethereal, dreamy and beautiful world. On the glass, several stainless-steel pebbles light up the space exquisitely and sublimate the sense of experience. The reflection of the wall and the embellishment of the ground make the elevator space rich and dynamic, awaken the imagination of the guests and stimulate their yearning for the indoor environment. Take the elevator to the preface hall on the first floor. The modern fusion image, combined with the artistic conception of waterfall and water curtain, completely opens the five senses of the viewer. A series of creative elements, such as the mist generated by the nebulizer, the boat floating in the clouds, the spray caused by the falling water, and the colorful bubbling light, seem to float in the air with the flow of light and shadow, making people feel like they are in a fairyland. The bubble brick on the ground is lit up. The viewers just like walk on the waves, and the clouds are misty at the foot. The laminated glass inserted obliquely on the ground reflects the scene playfully, changing the scenery along with people's walking routes. The quiet blue, warm yellow, quiet green and other colorful lights make the space rich and peaceful, telling the calm and leisure. Guests on the suspended shoes stool, quietly take off their clothes and shoes, also silently unload the daily necessities and trifles of life. Instant relief is obtained, the perception of life is also sublimated. There is a meal bar after a few steps in. The stainless steel on the ground is like water, the mountain is in the middle of the water, and a dragon boat is suspended on the top. The whole image is three-dimensional and dynamic, and the space seems to be full of vitality. The wall is like the sparkling water, which makes people have infinite reverie. Looking up at the top, the lines are soft without losing tension. Against the backdrop of light and shadow, the figures of the people are overlapping and shaking, dancing out the scenes of life. The blue light in the distance is like the starry sky. Even if you just wait here, you can still enjoy it and experience the peace and power of life quietly. By the introduction of the preface hall, the hall suddenly become bright open. Fanjing Mountain is particularly eye-catching here. On the top of the mountain, there seems to be a fairy who listens to the rain and shakes his feet playfully. Nebulizing machine works with full power, brings misty clouds, makes guests escape the world and came to the pure land without conscious of the boundary between themselves and the external world. The floor of the hall is paved with base slab, and each stone is paved in groups. After waterproof treatment, the lamp adopts customized small aperture dimmable lighting, which create an atmosphere just like stepping on the star river. Staying here, numerous light spot sparkling at the foot, twinkling brilliantly, as if the stars have been within reach. At this time, the secular world is no longer in heart, just enjoying the transcendence and awakening of life. The designer carefully divided the original height of the hall into two floors, and set the reception tea room on the top of the mountain. The cantilevered slope of the teahouse is very large, and there is only one stress point, so the construction is very difficult. After the discussion, the design team made a structure on the wall of the teahouse, and suspended the teahouse in the air by the pull force of the second floor, creating a space effect that is beyond the secular world and floating into the wonderland. The interior design of the teahouse is simple and lively. No matter the tables and chairs, lighting, or modeling ornaments, all are full of light and texture, just like immortals, without any dust. Here, guests can stay near the mountains and rivers, listen to the rain and watch the stars. In the fragrance of tea, they can take a rest, cleanse the floating dust in their hearts and sublimate the realm of life. If you want to reach the moon, you must seek your own way to reach the top. Step by step, the ray of light will guide you to the high. In the design of the stairs, the designer carefully left a view sight between the first and second floors, which not only extends the space, but also further penetrats the artistic conception of the wonderland with cloud and mist. There are two vertical high spaces on the third floor and the fourth floor, which interact with each other and create the scenery of water from sky. Just like walking on the cloud, like foot therapy, like SPA, completely put down the fatigue, abandon the trouble, and enjoy the true beauty of life.
