Qingdao Hopetune Imported Car Exhibition Hall | Free and Unchained Power of Life on the Horizon

“If the car has a soul, it is the driver’s dream of freedom”. The life itself is an exciting adventure infinitely pursuing the free and unchained power of life in the limited life. This design includes such free spirit perching in the human blood. Inspired by the shape of engine parts, the taste for cars and extended lifestyles of cars, the designer creates this automobile life culture assembling space integrating auto exhibition and sales, modification and maintenance, living style and other functions. Water scene, ramp, two layers of the transparent glass window, layer by layer, they all deduct the rhythm and movement of the building. Qingdao Hopetune Imported Car Exhibition Hall is an automobile life culture assembling space integrating auto exhibition and sales, modification and maintenance, living style and other functions. It faces the main trunk Heilongjiang Middle Road, with open terrain and a chain of undulating hills around. The overall architectural design is clean and powerful, which is run through with only a powerful line. A special line applicable to building of the exhibition hall is found from power to twists and turns and tenderness. It has the elegant quality of roaring sound rays stretching of automobile engine, and echoes with surrounding mountain forms between the ups and downs. Speed and stop, releasing and collecting and power of expanding outward and cohesion of containing inward of the line have a beginning and an end. Under the sunshine, designer deliberately planted a tree with yellow leaves in the building, which adds radiance and beauty to surrounding white and gray walls. The tree creates a late autumn pastoral landscape, and good memories just come into being. It is also a metaphor for auto fans, although they enjoy their stable life which like deeply rooted trees, they still retain the courage to go with the wind as the leaves. On the left side of the tree, there is a 9 meters long service desk covered with copper. Its simple, sharp and powerful characters are consistent with the rugged features of SUVs and OFVs, and thus highlight the eclectic taste of fashion. A large amount of light is introduced into the building through the skylights opening at the top of the building. As seasons turning, the sun rising and falling, indoor shadows swaying in the wake of angles of sunlight changing. People feel like returning to the natural environment, and they absorb vitality from sunny weather. Under the light and shade, and on the background of the colors of concrete, the sports cars and the off-road vehicle all are in proper places. Consequently, this appropriately blending of sensibility and rationality refresh the way of auto used to exhibit. Because the building facing the main road to the airport, the second floor is also assembled show windows to catch the people’s attention during their way. The arc ramp born from this concept, which extends the rhythm and introduces vertical fun for space in a subtle way. Circle along the ramp as if driving on the mountain, bright sunshine scatters from six skylights on the top. The use of plenty of ceiling windows blurs the interior and outdoor boundary. The entire shape of building mutually penetrates with interior space and surrounding terrain and opens the inner spiritual dialogue status. Decoration and colors are deliberately weakened, 'This is a space seems without decoration.' Stairs in gray and white wind upward, the light along with them also follow this tempo. Whenever passing by or stepping up the stairs, tension and smoothness exhaled from the strong curve: square and with a hint of round feel. Imitating auto engines, this special line of stairs emphasize the detail and process: every curve is not a simple or mellow arc, but with a tough extension, which is shocking and powerful.
