The site is near a municipal road, with the municipal sidewalk only nine meters away. The entire forecourt space is 22 meters deep and 39 meters wide—a relatively small space. How to satisfy the external display function of the demonstration area while considering the relationship between municipal space and display landscape? How to create refinement within limited dimensions while building a modern display area landscape that is both iconic and experiential? The design uses an aesthetic space combining curves and straight lines, with a straight-plus-curve layout. In softscape, winding artistic techniques soften the rigid impression of the building. At the same time, within the small space, the forecourt circulation is lengthened, and the long path creates a relaxed atmosphere. Curved walls divide internal and external spaces, shielding unfavorable surrounding conditions while guiding spatial flow. Perforated wall treatments blur boundaries, connecting inside and out, preserving the overall atmosphere of the forecourt, and the breathing quality of a larger space complements the composition. The design originates from clouds: clouds threading through valleys, ever-changing, dancing lightly in water and flowing across the earth, unfolding a story of rolling clouds and the land. The design upholds the goal of formerly making a home anywhere, now making a home within the four seas, pursuing the idea that a good space is like the sweetness and happiness of a lollipop. It aims to create a space that helps people encounter art through sensory experience, using form, light, time, scent, and circulation to build an art gallery within a narrow site, where every turn reveals a surprising small space.
