We increased the thickness of the outer wall to emphasize it and to form a strong architectural symbol . At the same time , windows and platforms are inserted into the wall to open the covered building to the city , which also introduces urban events into the building and becomes a place for the public to create events .
The addition of circular elements further emphasizes the geometrical sense of the building . The curved wall is displayed at the opening of the outer wall , and completely different materials are used to form a visual focus on the facade . The interior is also interspersed with blocks of different shapes , forming a rich and varied space .
In the choice of facade colour , we considered the city of Haikou ’ s warm and comfortable year-round climate , with sufficient sunshine , and chose white in order to make the building brighter and more refreshing visually . The large area of the white wall is like a pure canvas , with the light and shadow serving as pen and ink . Painting on the wall is reminiscent of traditional Chinese painting .
The elevation material uses horizontal-grained panels and titaniumzinc panels as embellishments on the protruding walls and curved walls of the building . The white of the cross-grained board and the gray of the titanium-zinc board collide , forming a strong contrast . The texture of the two materials is derived from the skin of dried palm , which makes the building more textured and echoes the surrounding natural environment .
The project is functionally divided into two major areas - a marketing area and an investment promotion area . In order to achieve the relative independence of the two functional areas and the integrity of the building , we arranged the volume in an L shape .
