Vista is a café opened in a sales center. In this project, Karv One designed a floating white garden, which takes the advantage of the water scenery around the building. White garden reflected by the water is like a dream of fairy tale. The strong visual tension of the design is derived from the dramatic confrontation with everyday memories, bringing a brand-new sense of lightness and imagination to the café experience. In Vista, an artistically shaped installation made with white metal grid forms a stand-alone thematic dream space, whose flowing and graceful shape resemble a fluttering ribbon in the wind. The gradient glass further strengthens the dreamy feeling of the space and visually expands it. With the addition of the thematic art greenery, a surreal white garden is created. Materials such as terrazzo and metal are matched with soft but eye-catching linear lighting design to carve out the most beautiful form of space. Trees, flowers and plants add to the space a refreshing feel and jointly create a dreamy, beautiful and warm atmosphere. Our project has led a brand new trend of sales center in China mainland, which is to swift the function of sale-single to the display of lifestyles. The businesses, whether it's a restaurant, a bookshop, a flower-shop, or a combination of them all, can show the attitude of the estate developing and sustainably service to the house owners. The reason why the new type of sales center design is better than the traditional one is that different behavioral patterns are generated when people are gathered in this surreal white garden and interact with each other. The people flow inside the space and the water elements outside the space echo with the thematic atmosphere of the project, creating a perfect spatial experience for visitors. The façade looks like a beautiful scenery by itself and, with an open attitude, becomes a new memory of the city and a popular destination to visit on social media.
