Longwan

Longwan Three Realms is a sales center covering 480 square meters. The layout uses circulation paths to divide functional areas and guide visitors. A custom wooden grille system encloses space while remaining permeable, keeping the original building frame and reducing added elements. Materials with natural qualities are layered to engage sight, touch and smell. A crushed stone mosaic floor reuses stone waste and avoids the cold feeling of standard marble or tiles. Art installations are made of pulp, a recyclable and easily shaped material. The design aims to convey calm and positive emotion.
