The Chunhe Jingming Sales Centre is located in Tongzhou, Beijing, the northern starting point of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The unique canal culture has been incorporated into the design with the "ink canal" concept running through. Focusing on an immersive experience, the layout is composed of diverse scenes instead of merely functional spaces. From the landscape to the interior, and then to the interior decoration, namely the ornaments, paintings and carpet patterns, all convey the story of the flowing canal. Also, the 'eight scenes of Tongzhou' are implicitly incorporated, of which colors of the four seasons are shown by national colors green and yellow, creating a dialogue between tradition and modernity as well as a spatial experience that is both traditional and contemporary. Since flashy and gaudy tones are not preferred, designers used a small amount of national colors in the senior grey, forming a space with smooth lines and open views.
