“伊甸园”模糊了人造奇观和自然美之间的界限。打开您的感官世界的喜悦和新感觉，通过策划零售经验。“伊甸园”是一个自然元素的庆典，结合了现有163零售公园的郁郁葱葱的绿化，以及“伊甸园”神话故事中的奇妙景观。为游客提供一个远离日常繁忙生活的避难所;作为一个安慰和沉思的空间。
走进“伊甸园”，邀请你重新发现大自然是如何通过其有机结构放大微妙的细节来体验的，把你带到另一个不同于你所遇到的任何事物的世界。一个全白的景观环境使你感到宁静和平静，类似于在一个神话寺庙里。一条铺满水晶白色鹅卵石的通道，带你穿过一条拱形通道，灵感来自维多利亚时代的钢暖房结构。它轻盈的骨架结构向“水晶宫”的建筑和工程奇迹致敬;一座巨大的铸铁建筑，为1851年在伦敦举办的世界博览会而建。
‘Eden’ blurs the boundaries between man-made wonders and the beauty of nature. Opening up your senses to a world of delight and new sensations through a curated retail experience. ‘Eden’ is a celebration of natural elements, merging the lush greenery of the existing site-163 Retail Park with a wondrous landscape referenced from the mythical story of the ‘Garden of Eden’. Providing visitors with a refuge away from the hustle and bustle of daily life; as a space of solace and contemplation.
Step inside as ‘Eden’ invites you to re-discover how nature can be experienced by magnifying subtle details through its organic structures, transporting you to another world unlike anything you have encountered. An all-white landscape awaits as your senses are treated to the calm & serene environment, akin to being in the grounds of a mythical temple. A pathway covered with crystal-white pebbles leads you through an arched passageway inspired by Victorian-era steel conservatory structures. It’s light, skeletal structure is a nod to the architectural and engineering marvel of the ‘Crystal Palace’; a massive cast-iron structure built to house the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London.
在《伊甸园》中，整体大于局部，因为元素融合在一起，成为一个单一的生长结构。在这里，花园通道形成了悬挂在拱门上方的“藤蔓”，模仿洞穴中的石笋。纵横的藤蔓汇聚成座位区，仿佛它们是由古老的树根有机生长而成。
近距离观察，可以看到玻璃球微妙地栖息在悬挂的藤蔓顶端;雨后，余波荡漾的水滴在树叶的边缘平衡着。一个大教堂般的空间是通过错落的藤蔓投射在周围复杂的阴影来实现的。儒勒•凡尔纳(Jules Verne)为《地心之旅》(Journey to the Centre of the Earth)所作的画作为《伊甸园》洞穴般的质感提供了灵感。提升旅程的整体空间体验。
“伊甸园”希望带你重新发现近距离观看的乐趣，让你暂时放下你的烦恼，再次成为一个孩子。相信，哪怕只是一瞬间，你实际上是在天堂。
In ‘Eden’, the whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts, as elements melt and merge together becoming a single growing structure. Here, the garden passageway gives form to hanging ‘vines’ hovering above the arches, imitating stalagmites in a cave. Where vertical and horizontal vines converge to form seating areas as if they were organically grown from ancient tree roots.
Upon closer observation, glass spheres can be seen delicately perched on the cusp of the hanging vines; echoing water droplets balancing on the edge of leaves after rain has subsided. A cathedral-like space is achieved with the varying heights of the vines casting an intricate play of shadow upon it’s surroundings. Jules Verne’s drawings for the ‘Journey to the Centre of the Earth’ provided the inspiration for ‘Eden’s’ cavernous-like quality. Enhancing the overall spatial experience of the journey.
‘Eden’ wishes to bring you to re-discover the joys of looking closer, to cause you to momentarily suspend your beliefs and become a child once again. To believe, if only for a moment, that you are actually in paradise.
