In Chinese gardens, dealing with water refers to the treatment of water bodies or water features. It is an important garden design technique that creates diverse landscapes and artistic conceptions by cleverly combining water bodies with surrounding landscape architecture. Dealing with water not only includes the fluidity of water, but also the different landscapes brought about by seasonal changes, as well as the related sound effects.
The project in this case is named "dealing with water"because it mainly focuses on nutritional therapy, with water as the mediator and reason as the collateral. Drawing on the concept of "dealing with water", the flowing lines of the form are curved and secluded, with stone fences as partitions, and the overall style is an art gallery, presenting an orderly and varied spatial rhythm in the design.
The reception desk is composed of geometric forms with three different textures, with the water reflections of the curtain wall serving as a focal point, gathering a small path to the side, and an art installation at the end of the passage serving as another focal point, extending the concept of water dripping through stone.
The reception lobby introduces itself in the form of a symmetrical front desk, with artistic installations placed on translucent glass counters, resembling ink-brushed landscapes and ink-splattered garden courtyards. Large art paintings guide visitors into another artistically constructed space, presenting an overview akin to an art gallery.
The partitioned passageway once again echoes the artistic installation of water dripping through stone, cleverly separating the flow of traffic between the restaurant and customers. The restaurant's main color tone is natural wood, with a square grid ceiling design symbolizing the continuous layers of mountains, using mirrors and paintings to create horizontal partitions. The hand-painted art complements the restaurant's cuisine, with blooming flowers concealing the overlapping emotions of water.
The therapy space continues the technique of stone mosaics, with a skylight well in the ceiling guiding the indoor light changes. The interior design of the "Dealing With Water SPA"not only considers the beauty of water, but also the wisdom of water. The spatial design of "Dealing With Water SPA" is presented in the form of a gallery, allowing people to enter it, enjoy leisure, and also appreciate the influence of art.
The space design of the water spa uses the principle of dripping water to form lines, combining the flow and stillness of water to form an orderly and varied spatial rhythm. The spatial design of "Dealing With Water SPA" also utilizes the technique of stone enclosure and division, which not only divides the spatial proportion but also serves as a practical space enclosure, increasing the level and sense of security of the space.
