Handan Crowne Plaza - China

The scheme represented my signature design idea on modern tower facade, clean, clear structural facade design with small gesture as focal point of the design as I called design effect. This particular design plays important role on creating the city image, therefore regardless the simplicity of the building form, I intended to create some cool effect as landmark value to this building, as in this scheme is the corner effect On the hotel facade (left corner) and half office block, predominantly solid with double exterior column and spandrel, the effect is the interlace vertical element at the corner, represent the idea of water curtain effect. On the other side, the pure glass curtain wall on half block of office, this is a mirror projection of solid facade from the adjacent block. The effect on this pure glass curtain is the top and bottom sparkling ripple effect made of 3 dimensional glass facade. This effect also represent the idea of water sparkling. Those effect will be more emphasised by lighting and can be strongly obvious at night view.
