ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
Tropical Forest with Monkeys , Henri Rousseau
In the atrium ’ s central space , the firm chose a two-storey red cube structure as the focal point , surrounded by a jungle of plants and water . Reminiscent of the primitive and mysterious scenes in Rousseau ’ s paintings , the vibrant colours , light , and shade invoke an imaginative and dreamlike atmosphere .
CLOU chose bright red as a primary colour to create a striking visual impression to quickly grab people ’ s attention . Like the flowers and animals that populate Rosseau ’ s mysterious paintings , the firm created a dazzling contrast between the colourful subject , detailed background , and a pleasing sense of illusion .
A circular bridge on the first floor connects the central cube to its surrounding areas with varying staircases . Tropical greenery , seating , water features , and staircases create human-scale details , enhancing the walking experience and enticing customers to linger and explore . This alluring , outdoor feeling provides its visitors with a place where their imaginations can roam freely .
