Focus Hangzhou Apartment, Hangzhou

Overlooking the river and connecting with the sky, FOCUS HANGZHOU embraces an unparalleled setting. With the spirit of the era, it ambitiously defines the skyline of the city, and forms a new iconic landmark building cluster on the bank of Qiantang River together with the Hangzhou Arch among the seven “Big Dipper” towers.

The floor-to-ceiling glazing brings in 270-degree clear views of the outdoor landscape, unfolding gradually like a scroll painting. The designers knows profoundly the role of the “window”, which offers a glimpse of the city’s evolving culture and meanwhile unveils the spiritual codes in the architecture.

The “blank” space expresses the conception of “creating something from nothing” in Oriental aesthetics. The real and the virtual interweave, naturally forming into an intriguing scene. The space becomes a stage, where people are like dancers that create dynamics and rhythms.

Upon stepping in the space, people are embraced by its grandeur. The living room area is open and expansive, complemented by interweaving light and shadows from outdoors and indoors, irregularly formed sofas and floor lamp, with the semi-circular lines shaping a magnificent scale.

In the simple and elegant setting, a block with rounded edges is specially added to the dining area. With ripple pattern and a hollow-out opening, this structural block allows for a glimpse of the buildings on the river bank under different light conditions. Like a frame, it captures the cityscape.

With an unparalleled 270-degree river view, the space invites people to sit and chat, take a sip or lie down to watch the outdoor landscape, embracing the sky, the city, the sun and the moon.
