若将人体视作一座行走的建筑，皮肤便如披覆在骨架之上的立面，以细胞为单元垒筑起“幕墙结构”，自古以来便是个人健康防御的天然屏障，信息时代之下更是表达自我的可视媒介。 拥有医药科学背景的自主护肤品牌德肤修FORMORAL，委托lialawlab利落建造为其位于中国杭州的概念旗舰店进行空间一体化塑造。设计从自然与科技平衡兼顾的产品属性中提取灵感，创造性地衍生“复古未来/Retro-Futurism”的场景体验，以一个矛盾对立而又和谐统一的艺术整体，破局现代城市背景下商业实体业态的“同质化”表象，探索自然与人造之间、生物科学与生活美学之间更深层次的关系哲学。 ·理性之上的大胆想象 质感极其粗糙的灰度肌理涂料被非常规地用来铺垫空间基底，朴实的饰面呼应品牌的亲自然理念同时凸显荒漠星球般的原始意向。集功能、技术、美感于一体的弧形语汇从门头贯穿至内空间，以一种熟悉又陌生的感官反差，挑战大众眼中的习惯与常识。设计团队从相切的正圆形中截取相应的弧线作用于四种形式与尺度：家具中运用半径600mm以内的弧线，核心球体及墙体隔间运用半径1500mm~1800mm的弧线，顶面开孔则以半径6000mm的弧线为主，最大半径30000mm的半径弧面运用在整体顶面造型。大小弧线在平面布置和立面关系中交错呈现，犹如三体的微妙存在牵引着我们。 ·超大广角的几何构图 120平方米的有限场域之中，从空间策略和互动设计的维度展开平面布局和动线推进，高效容纳不同功能属性及私密程度的分区诉求。一个冉冉升起的星球、一条哑光银箔和铝板构筑的未来感长廊舱道以及两扇舱门，共同形塑隐性而神秘的内部通道，有机串联起形象展示、皮肤检测及销售、休憩交流、活动演示、客户洗护、内部办公、货品仓储、员工休息八大功能，场地的“内&外”功能亦加以区隔，真正落实“客&货”分流的概念。 利落认为，空间最重要是能触发人们探索的欲念，为此在核心通道及球体造型中部1250mm高度处，切开一条200mm宽度的裂缝，缀以未来感的镜面玻璃制造诱导的优雅艺术，使人停顿、散开、闲逛、凝望。当然它更是充当内部员工得以内外兼顾的小窗口，看似随意的细部处理也颇具暗示性地贴合品牌性格，强化激发互动的场所氛围。 ·有限空间的无限延伸 囿于商场楼层的机电设备、消防强排烟主机都架设在场地顶部，使得原本4600mm的层高在实际可用空间中的最高点仅为2800mm。设计策略以开放式的弧顶巧妙化解限制条件，净高2750mm的大弧度吊顶与中心球体圆心相叠，逐步舒缓外展到最低点的1250mm，顺势插入墙体之中，成为顶面结构的一个重要支点。并在前台正上方辟出半径6000mm的大跨度弧形开口，极大减少了暖通管道和消防喷淋改造的工程量。前台及主入口上部保留4600mm的建筑层高，避免主要人流活动区域的压抑感，更延伸了前台主视角的视觉广度，有效地用低成本达到功能与形式的最佳平衡。
If the human body is regarded as a moving architecture, skin is the exterior that covers the skeleton, composing a "curtain wall structure" with cells as unit components. Skin provides a natural barrier for our body health, and has become a visible medium of self expression in this information age. FORMORAL, an independent skincare brand with medical science background, entrusted lialawlab to design its concept flagship store in Hangzhou, China. Drawing inspiration from the brand's product attribute that combines nature and technology, the design team creatively conceived a series of spatial scenes based on the theme "Retro-Futurism". The space was envisioned as a contrasting yet unified whole, which breaks the "homogeneous" image of physical retailing spaces in modern cities and explores the deep relationship between nature and the artificial, bioscience and lifestyle aesthetics. ·Bold imagination Gray textural paint is applied to large areas of interior surfaces in an unconventional manner, to set the overall tone of the space. The austere finishes echo the brand's affinity for nature, whilst highlighting the image of a primitive "desert planet". Arcs that combine functionality, techniques and aesthetics extend from the foyer to the interior space, creating familiar yet novel sensory experiences. Arcs utilized in the overall space have four different forms and scales, and are all cut out from tangent circles. The curves with a radius of less than 600 mm are applied to furniture, while the arcs with a radius between 1,500 mm and 1,800 mm are used on the massive sphere and walls. The openings on the ceiling are mainly highlighted by arcs with a radius of 6,000 mm. The largest arc with a radius of 30,000mm is used on the entire roof. The arcs of various scales are interlaced in the plan, the elevation and the entire space. ·Geometric composition Within a limited site area of 120-square-meter, the design team organized the layout and circulation based on spatial strategies and interactive designs, to efficiently accommodate various functional areas with different privacy requirements. A rising "planet", a futuristic tunnel clad with matte silver foil and aluminum plates and two cabin doors along the tunnel tie together the eight functions, including brand display, skin testing & product selling, rest & communication, events & demonstration, self care & washing, office, product storage and a break room for employees, while also helping denote the "inside" and "outside" and define the public and private realms. To trigger people's desire to explore the space, the designers carved out a 200mm-wide gap at the height of 1.25 meters of the massive sphere and the tunnel. The gap is complemented with mirrored material, allowing customers to stay, wonder, stare and rest. It also offers a visual continuity so that the staff can better serve customers. The seemingly random detail treatment actually responds to the brand's values, and stimulates an interactive atmosphere. ·Infinite spatial extension The project is situated in a shopping mall, which imposed certain design restrictions. The original ceiling height is 4.6 meters, and the usable height is only 2.8 meters because MEP equipment is installed on the roof structure. The designers skillfully created an open curved ceiling to deal with the site limitations. The arc-shaped roof with the highest point of 2.75 meters overlaps the central massive sphere. When the roof reaches the lowest point of 1.25 meters, it meets the wall to create a seamless transition and become a stable fulcrum. Right above the reception desk is an arc-shaped opening with a radius of 6 meters which subdues any sense of inhibition and avoids a lot of renovation work of MEP. Simultaneously, the roof effectively extends the reception to the public realm, achieving a balance between functionality and form.
