product: 50% Cloud Artists Lounge
category: Art Gallery and Lounge Bar
description: Architectural design always implies not only dealing with tradition but more importantly also with human needs. The design language of the 50% Cloud Artists Lounge in the Chinese province of Yunnan therefore follows the concept of architectural complexes in the town. At the same time, it also subtly incorporates art deco style to create its own unique identity. In the sense of a “utopia” close to nature, the architecture does without a single steel bar or nail. Built on red soil, it is entirely composed of local red bricks and thus blends seamlessly into nature. The architecture itself evokes the image of being both a huge art installation and half of a cloud that undulates in the sky. All design elements are laid out in an orientation towards light and arranged under skylights. The natural light entering the space is intended to tell the passage of time throughout the day in order to create diversified spatial experiences. The interior design aims to meet the needs of the current lifestyle through a human-centred approach. Based on the concept of biophilia, the characteristics of the natural world are to be brought into the interior space to thus allow people to directly interact with nature – in an emotional connection between people, space and nature. “Biophilia” advocates a more humane approach to design in our increasingly urbanised living environments. This results in interiors that are close to nature and aim to show how we can live, work and learn in nature.
