Lingli, Head Designer of TALES Creative, has incorporated the painterly concept of Cubism to inform the composition of colors and the spatial relationship between various elements in the project, allowing the space itself to serve as a kind of canvas. She has also drawn on the forms found within mountains, seas, and water to shape the project, which includes a leisure garden area, hidden tea room, exhibition area, and spaces for relaxed socializing.

Taking inspiration from the concept of Cubism, spatial aspects and art are integrated accordingly, achieving a sense of flow throughout the roof garden. Visitors are invited to explore here, akin to discovering unique and surprising artworks though a series of dream-like spaces.

The overall design of the entrance hall also pays homage to the company’s endeavors: the sculpted staircase and rounded acrylic chandeliers suspended in mid-air are an interpretation of Tengda’s intentions to voyage through the rough sea of an uncertain marketplace, and find its way safely to the top.

The Yoga Area on the rooftop, which happens to be located on the uppermost level of the space. During the practice of yoga while sitting calmly, the breath is brought from the body’s center to the head, and is in effect pulled up towards the sky. Sitting serenely amongst the space’s plants, visitors can enjoy a moment of mindful silence and inner peace.

The Forum Valley space draws inspiration from countryside landscapes, its form approximating the shape of valleys found in nature, and offers an abundance of green plants and flowers to create a vibrant and pleasant atmosphere.

The Roof Bar area is the bartender's stage, offering a warmly lit and inviting atmosphere with a color palette evoking wheat fields ready for harvest and freshly brewed beer.

The combination of the curved, deep green resin wall with panels of polished brass lends a quality of lush richness here, similar to the atmosphere evoked in Braque’s painting “Houses at l’Estaque” with its verdant trees playing off of yellow ochre houses.
