The word "Younger" carries a sense of antiquity, pulsating with both dynamism and depth. Like the gentle flow and diffusion of light and shadow, it blends seamlessly with forms, employing a delicate balance of abstraction and realism to cultivate the sensuality and exuberance of design. In the design of the Younger Care Beauty project, the DAED design team employs a nimble touch, infusing meticulous details with a graceful charm, rendering the space with a serene dynamism and a quiet beauty.

Emerging alongside the flora of Huangshan Lake Park, verdant foliage harmonizes with the blush of walls and the elegance of tiled roofs, juxtaposing lush vegetation against modern architectural bones, exuding an air of classical refinement. Designers have seamlessly integrated indoor and outdoor spaces, using full-height glass curtain walls as the facade of the entrance hall, where a spiraling staircase descends along beams of light, naturally connecting the first and second floors.

Through design language, they dismantle and interpret the symbiotic relationship between openness and transparency. Adorning modern spaces with echoes of bygone memories is akin to painting vibrant spring blossoms amidst an autumnal landscape. Within the interiors, designers have incorporated numerous medieval elements, where the layered textures on rusted metal panels resemble the ripples of time slowly unfurling, evoking a more profound sense of storytelling within the space.

With a diverse design vocabulary, the interplay and fusion of new and old, cool and warm, crystallize into a rich artistic undertone, imbuing the space with a deeper sense of humanity. Staircases are extensions of space, while curves are the folds of surfaces. An artistic spiral staircase, utilizing the utmost contrast between black and white, forms arcs where light and shadow naturally cascade downward. Sunlight gently pours over the organ-like folds of the steps, blurring the distinct boundaries of color and merging the divisions between upper and lower spaces.

This creates a mirrored, layered experience where depths intertwine seamlessly. To enhance spatial efficiency, the designers have added an additional viewing platform on the second floor, utilizing a suspended structure to reduce visual oppression and increase natural light, allowing panoramic views of the park's seasonal landscapes. Below the platform lies a resting area for guests, where they can leisurely enjoy a cup of floral tea or recline in a corner of the space, experiencing the beauty of modern technology while also appreciating the pure and natural beauty of the environment.
