Design Concept
Inspiration**: Compare the visitor to a carp and interpret the space from the perspective of a fish swimming in a lotus pond. The story begins with the visitor's encounter with the lotus pond, seeking design inspiration from the lotus pond reflecting the moon. In the quiet lotus pond at night, the moon and lotus shadows are reflected on the water, forming a romantic and quiet state. There is lotus, light, scenery and a calm atmosphere.

Flat scheme
The zoning and scenery are combined with the spatial function, and the layers are progressive. The space is divided into the bottom and the water surface, and the first floor is presented from the perspective of the fish at the bottom of the water, showing the underwater landscape of the lotus. On the water, the clear surface of the water reflects the scenery of the lotus pond. Finally, the fish jumps out of the water, and the multiple experiences brought by the moonlight that changes at all times are presented.

The design of the logo is inspired by the previous name "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond". A blooming lotus flower is the main component of the brand logo. In the center of the lotus, a full moon hangs high, and the water waves glow softly under the moonlight, forming the logo of the Xihe brand.

Facade design
"Lotus leaf".
Shine brightly
The façade of the glass curtain wall has several fire windows that cannot be blocked. Therefore, we use the lotus leaf shape as the basic structure, and combine and distribute it according to the shape of the façade. While avoiding the fire window, it ensures the unity and beauty of the façade, and interprets the visual symbol of the brand "lotus".
