Wavy Brick Wall: A Lobby Stacked to Resemble Waves

The walls and ceiling of the lobby form a continuous surface, built up layer by layer from long, varying-length bricks. Each layer is slightly advanced or recessed compared to the one below, accumulating into undulating waves. The brick color graduates from topaz to aventurine, with shades varying according to the wave peaks and troughs. The flooring is dark terrazzo, reflecting a faint, inverted image of the wall colors. Lighting is concealed within the brick joints every few layers, forming continuous horizontal light strips that emphasize the undulations through shadows. The space has almost no other decorations, is very large, and people appear small within it. Avoid: applying pre-fabricated wave-shaped panels to the walls, adding blue ocean imagery, using different materials for the ceiling and walls, displaying signs or commercial advertisements.

大廳的牆與天花是連續的同一個面,由長度不一的長條磚一層層疊出來,每一層都比下一層略微推進或退後,累積成起伏的波浪。磚的顏色是黃玉到砂金之間的漸層,深淺隨波峰波谷變化。地坪是深色的水磨石,把牆面的顏色映出一層淡淡的倒影。照明藏在每隔幾層的磚縫裡,做成連續的橫向光帶,讓起伏在陰影裡更明顯。空間裡幾乎沒有其他裝飾,尺度很大,人走在其中顯得小。避免:牆面貼波浪造型的成品板材、加入藍色的海洋意象、天花與牆用不同材料、出現指標或商業招牌。
