Set within the storied environs of Tangshan, a city famed as the "Northern Porcelain Capital," this project deftly weaves into its design elements of national intangible cultural heritage such as shadow puppetry, Pingju opera, and Leting drum. With painstaking attention to detail, Guomaofu establishes a new exemplar in the "mansion" series, aspiring to embody the epitome of "contemporary oriental" and "cultural living," thereby elevating the standards for premium residential living.

Drawing inspiration from Tangshan's cherished shadow puppetry, the clubhouse lobby’s design translates traditional patterns into modern installation art, creating an artistic cultural feast for the senses. The soaring ceiling extends the visual realm, fostering an ambiance of openness and expansiveness. Shadow play motifs are subtly interwoven throughout the space, casting silhouettes that evoke the drama of a theater stage and offer an immersive experience. The screen designs, inspired by the opulence of the Daming Palace artworks combined with contemporary metalwork techniques, showcase intricate details and shimmering lusters, blending history with the present to enhance the visual splendor.

Material sustainability is also paramount in our selection. For instance, the Ingenious Fine Metal Carving represents a supreme metal artistry, marrying traditional carving finesse with modern metallic substances, showcasing elevated artistic merit and artisanal excellence. Its superior material choice and meticulous craftsmanship ensure longevity and stability, thereby mitigating resource depletion and wastefulness.

Adorning the space, the auspicious cloud motifs signify more than just fortune and beauty; they seem to drift through the air with ease, infusing the environment with a serene and joyful atmosphere. The "auspicious clouds" metallic grille on the elevator hall walls complements the wallpaper featuring Tangshan shadow puppetry elements, together sketching a vivid tableau of Tangshan's cultural landscape. Within the private lounges, the "Emerald Valley Serenity" stonework harbors the secrets of Eastern lore within its intricate patterns, lending an aura of opulent yet subtle oriental allure to our leisure enclave. Here, every stride is a journey through aesthetics; every detail, a tribute to the harmonious blend of time-honored tradition and modern flair. We have infused the essence of motion—its vigor, velocity, and grace—into our design philosophy. The use of mirrored ceilings and illuminating film structures not only amplifies the sense of spatial expanse but also forges a dynamic and enlivened atmosphere. While the reflective ceilings enhance the perception of openness, the lighting films bestow upon our members an experience that is both chic and vibrant through their luminous play. Our overall design embodies a synergy of the contemporary and the stylish, sparking zest for physical endeavors.

The leisure spaces orchestrate a harmonious duet between modernity and tradition. Here, reflective ceilings and metallic domes coalesce to depict a skyward vista, ushering visitors into a surreal, sky-bound domain.
