Ping An Finance Center is located in Fengtai District, Beijing, adjoining Lizezhong 1st Road to the east, Fenghuangzui North Road to the south, Jinzhong Road to the west, and Fengtai North Road to the north. The site situated between the 2nd and 3rd Ring Road in the Southwest transportation embraces highly convenient transportation. The straight-line distance from Financial Street is only 6 kilometers. Art is the creative activity of white space. White space is a way of expression to create the artistic conception of traditional Chinese paintings. “There is a wonderland without painting”, and the blank space is not a vacuum. With it, extra meanings, tunes, and rhymes are presented. It relies on imagination to activate and awaken the audience’s imagination, realize artistic re-creation. The core of the building unfolds around the ground floor lobby, creating a new experience of Grade A international office that is combined with contemporary art. Dominated by a clean gray and white tone, the interior space uses concrete rock slab finishes and the division of wall lines to give the lobby a simple, pure, unique temperament. Adding a series of unique art displays, it forges a spirit of space on the base, which is different from the surrounding, removes distractions, and retains the authentic, while satisfying the high-level pursuit of spirit and art culture, so that the entire lobby realize an elegant balance in the contrast of material texture and lighting atmosphere. The plan also contains several “special elements”. The eyecatching red steel staircases on both sides connect the lobby and the commercial area on the second floor; inside the "exposed" concrete wall is a superb book bar or the display area of some paintings and small sculptures; the four elevator lobbies render four different themes in distinct Chinese traditional ink elements; these are the unique highlights of this interior design. The standard floor also continues the gray and white tone of the interior elegant art, displaying modern abstract expression techniques. The white aluminum plate on the top of the corridor is combined with the slender light strip to create a high-standard office environment in a simple way. At the same time, the background wall of a beautiful orange tea room brings a familiar Ping An orange, demonstrating the corporate culture of passion and determination.
