Aranya
Aranya is a reception center built beside a wetland park in Qinhuangdao. The building uses white steel frames, geometric boxes and large glass curtain walls, so the natural setting stays visible from inside. The interior takes the calm and solemn character of a church as a reference to create a peaceful atmosphere. The ceiling is covered with wood fiber sound absorbing boards that reduce noise in busy periods. Reception bars in box form stand at the entrances to guide and separate visitor flow. An acrylic display wall presents community activities.
