CELESTIAL HEIGHTS Experience Center

The poetic journey starts from the welcoming hotel-style entrance. Sedate hardwood veneers and the black stone conjure up the tough and grand imagery of a mountain, producing an imposing atmosphere in the expansive, lofty reception hall. The wooden reception desk is artistic and intriguing like a refined ornament. See-through metal fixtures are dotted around the space, adding a touch of modernity, and bringing an artistic and magical appeal to the hanging “light box” on the side.The rock mural painting and the moss bonsai at the elevator lobby evokes the experience of a mountain trip, while the minimalist leather furniture and the monochrome abstract painting on the wall in the audio-visual room create a sense of simplicity and modernity. A corridor adjacent to a central courtyard, which introduces bright daylight, attracts visitors to continue their exploration until reaching a series of door openings stretching into the distance. Each door opening frames another standing behind, creating a mesmerizing scene that seems to be found in a painting.An area for in-depth negotiation is set up along the central courtyard like an unfolded literary scroll, providing a tranquil environment. The color of dark wood joins black and light brown to create a sense of calmness and stability. The tranquility is further accentuated by the combination of books about art, culture and the city’s memories on a shelf and artistic yet restrainedly designed furniture. In addition to bringing in sufficient natural light, the glass wall also allows visitors to enjoy the water landscape of the courtyard, which infuses the space with vivacity with lively views.The color palette of dark wood and black are extended to the tearoom. The abstract ink painting brings even more tranquility to the space, while simplistic modern furniture adds a sense of Zen to the Oriental style. A gym is set along the courtyard, which acquires a pleasant and organic atmosphere with the bright light. The corridor that leads to show flat tours is like an art gallery. Old photos about Qingdao are exhibited along the corridor, connecting visitors with the city’s memories through art and cultural stories about the city.
