This project harmonizes Nanjing’s ancient charm with contemporary design, creating a space that seamlessly blends history with modernity. The entrance area features a striking golden ginkgo leaf screen, symbolizing the city's rich cultural heritage. The fluttering leaves and a static sculpture engage in a poetic dialogue, where nature's form is both dynamic and still.

The water bar and meeting space are defined by a calm, earthy color palette, enhanced by occasional bold accents, establishing a refined and sophisticated atmosphere. The bar’s fluid, curved design interacts with outdoor sculptures, adding layers of subtle elegance to the expansive space. The flexible layout, complemented by vibrant moss and dynamic floral arrangements, creates an inviting and artistic environment. Here, color, light, and art converge to tell a compelling visual story.

An art gallery corridor marks a transition between spaces, where pure materials emphasize order, while vivid red lacquer artworks inject energy and passion. At the far end, a model space returns to rationality, offering a moment of calm amidst the emotional intensity of the surrounding design.

The private dining area is designed to honor the tradition of “Yan Xian,” where square and round tables create an ideal gathering space. Framed windows provide views that resemble natural paintings, offering a harmonious balance of sophistication, ecology, and subtle zen.

The rest area in the private dining room features an impressive traditional art piece that beautifully combines intricate patterns and craftsmanship, infusing the space with a rich Eastern aesthetic. This fusion of traditional and modern elements highlights a calm, inward strength.

The project also pays homage to Nanjing's cultural heritage through three unique game rooms, where contemporary design meets traditional crafts. The art corridor, adorned with embroidery and gold leaf, reflects the poetic spirit of the ancient city, showcasing vibrant colors and deep cultural meaning.

Incorporating vitality and freedom, the fitness area and pool allow for exploration of both physical limits and personal growth. The ever-changing outdoor views create an immersive experience.

With a blend of retro and modern styles, the design perfectly brings together Eastern elegance with contemporary flair.
