“Dancing light and still shadow” is a description of the aesthetics of light and shadow by ancient people. Inspired by this, the project explores the wondrous connection between time, space and perception. Through the artistic design of light and shadow, structure and curves, the distance between nature and the city is shortened, blending architecture, culture, and nature. People coexist with the city, reflect on life, and blend with nature.

The hollow design of the sand table area is the highlight of the entire sales department. The sunlight pouring in from the skylight highlights the sand table like a spotlight. The swinging art installation splits the light, and the scattered fragments of light twinkle like stars, illuminating the space.
Less is more, the simple lines and structures create a rich layering of space. In the overlap of light and shadow, a misty artistic dream is exuded.
OPS design is to: “Touch nature, return to the shadow of light, calmly accompany, and always live in the busy city soul.”
