TIAN YUAN LAW FIRM:The blending of law and Zen

In the bustling and noisy Guangzhou East Tower CBD core, Tianyuan Law Firm has undergone a transformation, from cramped to open, and completed a deep remodeling of space and artistic conception. This design is intended to break the stereotype of traditional law firms, deeply integrate modern design concepts with Oriental Zen, and create a unique space for legal workers and visitors.

  1. Entrance: the encounter of light and shadow and Zen

When the main elevator door opens, you will see not the compact and seriousness of the traditional law firm, but a wonderful picture of open and bright space and natural light and shadow. The layout of the front desk, carefully positioned by feng shui, not only ensures the open atmosphere of the space, but also lays a calm tone for the whole law firm with an invisible sense of order.

Facing the entrance, the carefully built flowing water landscape becomes the visual focus. The babbling water, the fog is dense, like true and unreal, creating a dreamlike poetic atmosphere. In the meantime, a vigorous pine tree stands proudly, become the finishing touch in the space. This kind of design, cleverly resolved the traditional feng shui malpractice of going straight into the door, at the same time, with the fast pace of life outside the CBD to form a sharp contrast. When people step into the law firm, it seems like suddenly passing through the quiet and distant Zen environment. The sound of running water, fog and pine trees play a quiet movement together, so that the mind can be relieved and purified in an instant.

  1. Space: a dialogue between modern times and Zen

In terms of spatial layout, the aesthetic concept of Zen dry landscape is integrated into it, and the sand for the sea and the stone for the mountain are only a few strokes to outline the majestic artistic conception of the natural landscape. Open teahouse adopts transparent glass partition, the use of this kind of modern material, not only to ensure the transparent sense of space and modern atmosphere, but also cleverly create a relatively independent private space. In the teahouse, tasting tea and thinking quietly, the “landscape” outside the glass and the indoor tea fragrance blend with each other, creating a unique atmosphere of both ancient and modern, dynamic and static.

  1. Landscape: bustling and quiet look at

On the south river view side, the conference room is set up according to the situation. They can be combined flexibly according to actual demand or used alone, the partition design in the middle ensured the diversity of function already, do not break the coherence of space again. Looking from the lobby to this direction, the bright night scene of Guangzhou Tower is looming. This visual effect is like an implicit ink painting, arousing people’s curiosity, attracting them to get close, and feel the unique charm of the bustling city. Here, the river view and the city landmarks become the background of the space, allowing the legal work to unfold under the dual nourishment of nature and the city.

  1. Office area: the details of the place to see the ingenuity

The design of the office area is also full of ingenuity. Considering the shade of the Windows on both sides of the room in the middle office space, the ceiling uses the lamp film imitating the natural light. This design not only complements sufficient light, but also creates a soft and comfortable visual environment, so that people can feel like they are in the natural sunlight, relieve work pressure and improve work efficiency.

The pillars on the walls are no longer monotonous supporting structures, but are endowed with the soul of art. Through the unique modeling design and lighting layout, the pillars seem to be clever sculpture, adding an artistic atmosphere to the space. The use of log color tone runs through the whole space, from the ground to the wall, and then to the furniture decoration, the warm and plain wood texture echoes with the overall Zen atmosphere, creating a harmonious and unified space feeling.

The design of Tianyuan Law Firm is not only a reshaping of space, but also a deep exploration and interpretation of the relationship between law and Zen, modernity and tradition, and nature and city. Here, every detail carries the original intention of the design and the good expectations for life and work, so that people in it can find their inner peace and home while being professional and efficient.

I am a keen to “toss” in the vast world of life. It is not so much a toss, as my deep love for life. I always do not like to spend my precious time on meaningless things, firmly believe that the wonderful of life lies in continuous exploration. Or let the mind in the knowledge, absorb the nutrients of wisdom; or make the body in the movement of the stretch, in the embrace of life in the embrace of nature. For me, lifelong learning is a never-ending spiritual practice.

As a designer, I know that vision is the cornerstone of creation. I am eager to cross the mountains, lakes and seas to examine this colorful world from different dimensions. To listen to the poetic interpretation of life by people of different nationalities, races and occupations, and to have an insight into their unique expectations for living space. I always believe that design is not a superficial form, but a deep journey to touch and perceive with the heart. In this world, even one person, one thing, a painting, a grass, a tree, all contain unique beauty and spirit, waiting for us to keenly perceive it properly into the design of the chapter, give the space soul and temperature.

In addition to my busy creation, I also love to leave a blank space for myself. Timely to empty, let the mind in the quiet precipitation. Or start a journey alone, in the strange scenery and dialogue with themselves; or set foot on a hiking trip, in the tenacity of life in the lofty mountains and rivers; or quietly enjoy a single afternoon tea time, in the tea fragrance dense combing thoughts. These seemingly ordinary moments, in fact, I affectionately embrace life, let me learn to love myself and others better, and also let me have a more profound and delicate understanding and love for design.
