This vertical interior space unfolds before you as a grand atrium rising to impressive height, approximately three stories tall, dominated by a spectacular light installation that creates the sensation of standing beneath a gentle rainfall made entirely of luminescence. Beginning at the ceiling, a flat white surface contains dozens of small bright points arranged in a grid pattern, from which thousands of delicate fiber-optic strands descend like translucent threads of captured starlight. These strands fall in vertical curtains against a deep blue-green backdrop—imagine the color of a twilight ocean or the sky just after sunset—creating an effect both cool and mysteriously inviting. The light filaments cluster into two wing-like formations of concentrated brightness in the middle zone, their glow warm and soft like moonlight on mist, appearing to float within the cooler blue field. Moving your attention downward, the blue backdrop gives way to an architectural opening with a perfect circle cut through it—a moon-gate doorway that frames glimpses of warm-lit spaces beyond. Flanking this central composition, the walls present themselves in soft warm beige and taupe tones, with horizontal linear textures suggesting wood or composite panels, their surfaces smooth as polished stone. At ground level, a rectangular reflecting pool stretches across the space, its dark still water containing sculptural forms resembling mountain peaks rendered in fine wire mesh—imagine touching delicate metal screens shaped into gentle peaks, their surfaces both substantial and see-through. To the right, a gracefully curved bonsai tree with textured bark and cloud-like foliage provides organic counterpoint. The floor surrounding everything presents polished gray stone with subtle natural veining, cool and smooth underfoot. The atmosphere feels simultaneously grand and intimate, the cool blue light balanced by warm architectural surfaces, creating a space that invites both awe and contemplation.

The Eco Smart City Sales Centre design is inspired by the patterns of ancient grand mansions. Stepping into the door the spatial dimensions is divided and differentiated the visions and functions by imitating the three-courtyard system. The designer uses Peach Blossom Spring as theme to deepen the high quality of the space and create a modern building the space of profound cultural heritag. Besides, the furniture is made of wood with natural marble tabletop, free of formaldehyde, thus environmental friendly for health.
