The mountains covered by thick snow, the zigzag marks left by the skis on the snow, the touch of the cold wind on people's faces, and the blizzard splashed by the contact between the snow and the skis -- these are the experiences created when immersed in winter sports. By creating a space that evokes these feelings, people will be encourages to discover the infinite joy of winter in the mountains.

RESTROOM VESTIBULE RESTROOM DESIGN To extend the design concept, the restroom mirror is a geometric shape. The toilet soft ambient light will increase sence of privacy and comfort in a Hard Rock environment. What’s more, a vestibule is at the entrance, with aroma diffuser, mirrors, and some cosmetics, so that while avoiding the embarrassment of waiting in front of the restroom, it also provides a private space for ladies to rest and touch up their makeup.

WALL GRILLE DESIGN The accent reverberation of Heavy Rock inspired the design of the grille. The Hard Rock vibration brings a different sense of rhythm, so the grille looks rhythmic, and the use of metal materials sets off the overall concept of "aggressive.

CULTURE CENTER 24
IDEA OF SITE PLANNING
IDEA OF INTERIOR DESIGN
The former buildings are connected by corridors and bridges to enhance relationship between the buildings and increase the interest of the building appearance, in contrast with the divorce between the former buildings in the past. Prior to the design, in this deserted idle land lay an abandoned factory without any planting. To create a more comfortable office environment, and improve the green area, a four seasons garden was designed by allotting some zones for green vegetation. Between the creation office zone and the culture center, I designed an outdoor exhibition ground blanketed with green plants.
I chose two most distinctive blue and yellow of the old factory buildings as the theme colors of interior deisgn, with the former for the diesel engine workshop and the latter for several factory buildings, and repectively representing calmness and liveliness.

2018_Summer: Interior Lighting Design of the Mass Art Museum, Weihai Library | Team Work | Director: Wenwen Han CONCEPTUAL DESIGN The overall design concept of Weihai Mass Art Museum stems from “wind” in nature. The lighting design is exoected to present the vagueness and constant changes, just like wind. To that end, different materials are used to match the changed lighting to display the overlapping layers of lighting.
SKETCHES OF LIGHTING DESIGN Matt White Aluminum Sheet Specular Shading: some that are linked to lightsensitive materials and wires at the back can give out light Smooth White Aluminum Sheet: some that are linked to light-sensitive materials and wires at the back can give out light
FLOOR PLAN OF THE CONCERT HALL
In the design of the big pillar of this building, I preferred to some spliced light materials (white aluminum sheet, mirror). In terms of the deisgn of lighting, the light from the building is made to change slowly with the different outdoor light, as if the sea wind is blowing slowly.
