Traditional and modern abstract figurative time where sales museum

Project Title: Time in sales museum
   Designer: Liu Guohai
   Project Location: Guangzhou
   Project Area: 750 sq.
   The main decoration materials: marble Italy Blue Beru, ancient elm wood floors, African teak cable open paint color, large gray marble, stainless steel, bronze plating, paint, wallpaper.


Time is of the Motion project in the real estate development of residential projects in Guangzhou, we are responsible for two public and selling space museum design and packaging as a whole: a series of consultant landscape, vi visual identity, soft furnishings installed. Project location is Xiguan Old Town, the main target is the Old City neighborhood.


For this case, our design ideas: "traditional" is attached to the space rendering the spirit of place, space is a skeleton, "spirit" is the soul, and the whole series of spatial experience "clipping" - the quality of the modern life and modern technology combined with the results after.

We find a lot of information and old photos of Guangzhou, in the intention of those memories had faded or had disappeared in search of clues to the design, to extract information from a pile can learn from and use the elements and extracts from the West off the space in the old house colors and texture combinations: the old elm floor, imitating the old dark African teak cable off the West Bed traces of aging wood color; gray blue stone Bayrou alternative Lingnan style will make use of gray bricks, fuzzy comparison figurative elements of those routines and symbols; At the same time a large gray stone dotted white marble mosaic reproduction of the Ming and Qing armchair details. With new material deduce a traditional abstract memory, but the atmosphere and detail but with modern taste and quality of sales space.


On the functional organization, we do not wish to repeat past practices relating to strong sales, but to be able to trace dilute trading for customers with Douzhuan moving line, walk up and down two floors, fully experience the entire space and to park, visit , relaxed atmosphere to discuss the completion of the sale of natural behavior.

On spatial composition, the original long, narrow building site, huge structural columns of the array, so that the space is not high and dull "ritual" and can not reflect the kind envisaged in sales situations. Go to the ceremony, to the "divine" by cutting structure and composition to dissolve the body mass, we use stairs and elevators open two hollow patio, because of the huge pillars and all the vertical space presents a cross-section of a relation intertwined, rich space up and down the staggered integration, while upper and lower levels of manufacturing space or person "dialogue" could, through this combination of the original small space "zoom."


Sand table model is placed on the second floor against the inner region, so that customers experience an increase in passive moving lines to achieve fully experience the vision. Sofa deck, wet bar area, and self negotiations embrace the whole model area, and connect internal office and toilet. Channel near the stairs leading to the showroom.

Soft loading the atmosphere, we do not use a lot of antique furniture, but finding and traditional Chinese style in the United States have a common form and constitutes beauty. Earthy colors with a relatively close to the entire space a touch of style, not too much publicity decorated coincide only some marks on some Chinese space texture.

Lighting design, we deliberately reduced aisle space illuminance and hollow, avoid conventional light and spacious lighting sales center that way, dilute supermarkets feeling. Reducing the number of ceiling spotlights, only in the area need to be fully demonstrated improved illumination for intensive display lighting. So to avoid causing too much overhead lights excellent shadow reduction also deliberately to emphasize everywhere show signs of increased situational atmosphere experience. At the same time the space dim atmosphere closer to the nostalgic coal oil lamps and incandescent light bulbs effects. In most crowd gathered to discuss a number of places arranged wall lamp, with light levels to improve face recognition degree, and laterally wash light shadows caused by overhead lights. It should be emphasized with the background and decorative wall closely wall washer focus contour outline what other lighting planned targeted furnishings arranged in the corresponding regional furniture and plants inside.

Walk to the sales center among the flip side of the coffee table book about Guangzhou imprinted; or a rise of a humble glimpse of paintings; alcove dilapidated and charming color palette; there are a few pieces of text on green potted , old memories off the West, little by little quietly float.

Using Stone in Ornamental Landscaping Design

 Hardscaping has a practical purpose, but it also can have an ornamental purpose in your landscaping design. When using pebbles, boulders, drystack and other stones for ornamental purposes in your landscape, you add beauty that blends the function of the 
stone with nature to create an outdoor work of art.
There are many different types of decorative stones to use in a landscape. Choose from crushed stone, gravel and native rock in a variety of sizes, textures and colors. Depending on the size and type of stone that you choose, your options are limitless for adding an ornamental touch to make a beautiful and unique outdoor setting.
Six Ways to Give Your Landscape an Ornamental Touch with Stone
1.    Use stone asgroundcover to add texture and color to different areas of a garden, or around driveways, walkways, pools, and recreation areas. Be creative by making your own design along a grass border or by widening an existing sidewalk. Specialty crushed stone, river rocks and lightweight aggregates can help give an unforgettable natural look to any outdoor area.
2.    Mix and match large boulders with an area of smaller pebbles. You can add two to three boulders to a garden bed and then surround the area with a border of pebbles. The larger the boulder, the more prominent is the appearance. For a less prominent effect, switch it up by adding smaller pebbles as mulch around plants and then place medium-sized boulders or riverrock around the bed in place of edging.
3.    Create something special using boulders. Place one large boulder or a few together in a decorative display. You can choose a location that almost implies a story. If you have a pond, randomly place a few boulders to create a natural feel. Or if it is structure you are looking for, choose several boulders of the same size and space them at consistent intervals in or along a garden bed.

4.    Stack drystack stones or riverrock in columns or create a wall for visual height or depth. Placing four stone columns around an outdoor seating area or building a short stone wall around a patio can set apart the area by acting as a decorative frame.
5.    Use drystack stones or granite cobblestones to build an ornamental design feature. A fountain or fireplace adds luxury and beauty to any landscape. If it is a casual atmosphere you are designing, stack the stones in an offset pattern or with no particular pattern. If you want to achieve a more structured appearance, stack the stones evenly in a consistent pattern.
6.    Add custom cut limestone, bluestone and sandstone fabrication to pool and spa copings, outdoor fireplace surrounds, and window sills and trims for ornate detailing that is sure to impress. Fabrications are custom cut to your designs and will enhance the beauty of any outdoor space.
As a landscape architect or homeowner, you are sure to have projects where you will find unique, functional, and creative uses for stone.

6 Ways to Landscape with Stone

   Are you thinking of adding stone into your next landscaping project? Stone is a great choice whether you have a luxury backyard setting or a rustic retreat. It can add style and increase your property value. Because it is a versatile material, there are a number of different ways you can use it when designing a landscape.

Here are a few design ideas to landscape with stone:
Create garden beds with granite cobblestones.
The larger cobblestones can make a space appear larger while providing a barrier against weeds, grass, and mud. Stack the cobblestones casually for a rustic look or lay them evenly for a more sculpted look. Change the height of your stone beds to create depth while keeping the consistency of cobblestone for balance.
Lay flagstone for a patio surface or pool area.
Flagstone is a beautiful alternative to a plain, concrete pad. It has an abundant color palate and unlimited pattern options. You can choose from cut or irregular patterns, and use one consistent color or a variety of hues to create the look and feel you want.
Step into your own private space with stone steppers.
Use solid stone steps to create either an elevated or sunken area that gives the appearance of a private space. And if you have a hilly slope, add a stone staircase that leads to a hidden sitting area.
Customize your walkways by adding stone details.
Stone edging or pavers mix well with different materials such as concrete, gravel, or mulch. Consider laying cobblestone or pavers in sections of a sidewalk to break up the concrete and provide visual appeal. Line your walkways for a sculpted look. Or, transition from concrete to stone to emphasize an approach to the door or an area that has a fountain.
Dress up your front entrance with drystack columns or retaining walls.
If you have smaller area, give the appearance of height by stacking drystack stones to form columns. And if you have a large, sloping yard, create a terraced landscape by dividing the levels with drystack retaining walls.

Build a stone fire pit and seating area.
Using pavers, design a round or square fire pit, expand the area by paving the ground, and then frame the area with stone benches. It will be a little extra luxury that makes your backyard space a stylish hangout with friends and family.
Stone is the perfect material to add luxury and rustic elements to your outdoor space. Mix and match stone materials for a dramatic effect or blend materials for visual interest. The combinations depend on the look you want to have and what you feel is right.

Create an Eco-Friendly Landscape with Stone

    
     Eco-friendly landscaping is an increasingly popular gardening practice. It reduces maintenance with less lawn to care for and minimizes the negative impact on the environment. A good eco-friendly material that compliments every landscape is stone.
Adding stone into your landscape doesn’t mean you have to create a desert-style landscape or completely replace your grass with hardscaping. Here are a few tips and ideas to create a beautiful, eco-friendly landscape that incorporates stone:
  • Limit the space dedicated to natural grass lawns or avoid a conventional lawn completely by adding low maintenance plants mixed with pathways. With less lawn, you reduce the need for watering and thus decrease the amount of stormwater runoff. In addition, plantings help to create wildlife habitats while the pathways provide access to enjoy it.
  • Install stone pavers for sidewalks, driveways, and patios as an alternative to asphalt or cement. Flagstone pavers are a low maintenance, natural, and durable option that is both decorative and functional. When using stone in your landscape, you are using a low-imx pact, low-input material. It is a great environmental alternative to concrete (cement) or asphalt, which has petroleum toxins.
  • Add a side path of stepping stones or separate pavers with mulch or plants along a pathway. This adds charm and a rustic look to your space while helping the rainwater to drain naturally back into the ground.
  • Add a drywall stone or cobblestone wall to help maintain a slope. The wall will help control erosion and will look lovely with low maintenance plants such as azaleas or daylilies growing along the slope.
  • Create a stone edging or border along plant beds. Layering stone along an edge can be visually appeal. It also decreases maintenance because it provides a natural barrier for grasses while helping to control invasive plants.
  • Take up space with attractive stone features, such as rock gardens, fountains, benches, and a good sized patio. Stone features help to reduce the surface area that requires watering, decrease your garden’s maintenance requirements, and reduce the need to buy landscaping products. Stone water features or statues interspersed in your garden beds also help to take up space while adding beauty to your garden.
