Design Concept
The Flowing Sound: Where Music and Culture Converge
In everyday urban life, music flows like water—intangible yet continuous—connecting culture, space, and shared memories. Inspired by this idea, we adopted “music” and “water” as the core visual languages of the wayfinding design, symbolizing the ongoing exchange, integration, and continuity of culture within the city. The concept also reflects Sanfar Construction’s commitment to comfort and security, transforming residential space into a living environment that carries culture and emotion.
Glass as an Interpretation of Flow and Resonance
The transparency and layered qualities of glass connect music, culture, and the origins of life. Through overlapping glass, refracted light, and shifting shadows, the signage evokes the resonance of water waves and sound waves. More than guiding movement, each sign becomes part of the architectural environment, expressing the vitality and flow of culture.
Building a Spatial Melody with Color
The color plan grows out of the perceived link between sound and color. Working from the idea of chromesthesia, each floor is given its own color identity with its own rhythm. As people move through the building, the colors unfold like notes and form a spatial melody in which sight and feeling are interwoven. This sharpens recognition within the wayfinding system and enriches the experience of the whole environment.
From Testing to Delivery: Every Step Made for the Experience
To fully realize the concept, we conducted multiple rounds of material sampling and on-site testing. Different glass types, glaze concentrations, firing temperatures, and layering methods were evaluated for their effects on light, color, and legibility. This process achieved a careful balance between visual expression, brand quality, and wayfinding functionality, ensuring that each sign delivers both design impact and an intuitive user experience.
