Fireplace Valley is a sales center interior located in Guilin, China. The design draws on local river scenery and folk traditions. At the entrance, a half-arc panel of purple landscape marble is placed against a creamy white marble wall and recalls the form of a small boat. Light fixtures at the reception area use traditional bamboo weaving techniques. A wave-like ceiling shapes the main space. The negotiation area has sunken couches set around an atomized fireplace embedded in the floor, and the skylight above is made of fishing net.
