About Aura Park Recreation Space
Aura Park is a recreation space located in the West Lake district of Hangzhou, China. The interior covers 1588 square meters with a ceiling height of 10 meters. The design combines sculptures, landscaping and water features with lighting and multimedia installations. Dynamic lighting structures in steel, curved LED panels, transparent LED screens and programmable light strips are used throughout. Main materials include glass reinforced gypsum, patterned marble flooring, tempered glass panels and custom ceramic tiles. The space offers an immersive experience for visitors of all ages.
Aura Park Recreation Space by Jeffrey Zee represents a remarkable achievement in contemporary interior design where architectural innovation converges with biophilic principles to create an immersive recreational environment of exceptional sophistication, the work engaging parametric design traditions that emerged from computational architecture while demonstrating how organic formal vocabularies can generate spaces of profound atmospheric resonance, the central ceiling aperture functions as the compositional and experiential heart of the space, its ovoid form suggesting both cosmological observation and embryonic symbolism, while the dynamic digital display of celestial phenomena visible through this portal transforms the interior into a threshold between terrestrial and cosmic realms, technically the design demonstrates mastery of several complex integrations including the seamless incorporation of living plant material within architectural forms, the precise deployment of LED illumination to articulate structural edges without overwhelming the naturalistic elements, and the calibrated reflectivity of floor surfaces that extend perceived spatial depth while grounding visitors within a coherent environment, the sweeping curves of the ceiling structure exhibit a tectonic logic derived from natural growth patterns yet realized through advanced fabrication technologies, their deep blue-black surfaces absorbing light to create a sense of infinite depth above the tree canopy, thematically the work appears to explore humanity's enduring desire to commune with both earth and sky simultaneously, to find sanctuary within spaces that honor organic life while celebrating technological capability, the presence of mature trees rising toward the cosmic aperture suggests aspirational growth and the continuity between rooted existence and celestial wonder, visitors might contemplate how such environments reshape our relationship to interior space itself, transforming recreational architecture into vehicles for contemplation and renewal.

- Operation Flow
- The client team was initially involved with design discussions in 2024 during the preliminary concept phase. Due to the size and complexity of the project program, all front and back of house areas as well as specific equipment installation requirements were carefully considered during the planning phase. Numerous mock-ups and models were constructed and approved before final production and installation. Weekly on-site and video meetings were conducted to ensure progress and quality control.
- Research
- To create the ultimate surreal experience for all guests, the design team and digital artists conducted a lot of research on the customization, implementation and integration of visual animations, resonance production, textured materials and construction methodologies throughout the intensive design process. Specific lighting details embedded within curvilinear geometries were 3D modeled and printed throughout all stages of design investigations, prototyping and manufacturing.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by our evolution of human consciousness, Aura Park is conceptualized as a manifestation of an immersive and surreal leisure destination. One of the investigations is the execution between the physical and virtual dimensions through design, construction and visual technologies. Artistic ethereal sculptures, landscaping and water features are choreographed with interactive resonances, lighting and animations to create a multi-sensory experience of ascension, ecstasy and transformation.

Grand Interview about Aura Park Recreation Space
Aura Park的概念框架源于超越传统休闲空间界限的愿望，将时空、人工自然和想象现实的哲学抽象编织成一个具体且互动的环境。最初的想法通过对人类意识如何与自然世界和数字领域互动的深刻兴趣在我们脑海中凝结——尤其是在杭州，这座城市科技创新与诗意自然美景（以西湖为代表）在动态张力中共存。我们不仅将该地视为一个实体场所，更视为一个能够承载与杭州双重身份相呼应叙事的“载体”：根植于数百年对自然的文化敬仰，同时作为科技驱动创意的中心，具有前瞻性。关键时刻是我们意识到项目的规模和多代观众对“静态空间”的要求远不止于此;它需要一个“宇宙叙事”，随着每位访客不断演变，邀请他们探索自己与时间、自然和想象力的关系——这只有在这个文化丰富、科技前沿的社区里的休闲装置才能真正支持。
在Aura Park，有形与想象的界限不再以线条划定，而是通过物理建筑与虚拟维度的互动，化为流动的渐变。设计团队通过优先考虑“感官共振”来实现这一平衡：从有机的GRG曲线到郁郁葱葱的绿地和水景，每一个物理元素都被校准为通往虚拟世界的“桥梁”，而每个数字投影（在LED屏幕和水面上）则根植于自然环境的节奏。这种平衡通过重新定义休闲为“变革之旅”而非被动消费，重塑了游客的期待。对于家庭来说，这里提供了一个安全、神奇的空间，孩子们可以与数字森林和星云互动，同时不牺牲自然的舒适感。对于年轻人和创意人士来说，这里是探索的画布，将科技驱动的奇迹与水景和绿意的宁静融合在一起。对于年长的游客来说，熟悉的盆景、水道和有机建筑为虚拟元素注入了宁静感，使超现实感变得易于接近。通过这种方式，Aura Park为社区提供了一个满足多元情感和文化需求的休闲环境，证明了当实体与虚拟不再竞争，而是协作时，有意义的体验便会诞生。正如安藤忠雄所说：“建筑应该让我们因喜悦而颤抖。“我们努力为所有年龄段创造一个充满情感、希望和魅力的体验，在Aura Park。
Aura Park集成定制3D曲面LED面板、透明屏幕和全光谱照明，是经过跨学科广泛研究、视觉动画、共振制作和纹理材料的成果。我们的团队与数字艺术家紧密合作，开发出响应空间自然节奏的动画：天花板光环屏幕的星云和森林视觉与水景的流动和谐变化，而绿色生态走廊的LED面板则框出与下方真实绿意相映成趣的植物景观。共鸣制作确保灯光和动画不仅仅是“展示”，而是互动的——由访客动作、环境音，甚至水面细微涟漪触发。采用了有纹理的大理石和金属漆等质感材料来增强这些效果：反光地板反射光线和投影，模糊了物理空间与数字内容之间的界限。这些创新预示着沉浸式公共环境的未来，在那里“技术”不再是独立的层面，而是建筑环境不可分割的一部分。它们证明了沉浸式空间不需要用各种设备压倒性访客;相反，当技术融入空间结构时，它们才能茁壮成长，既自然又超凡
Aura Park通过其“感官共生”的设计理念，同时满足金A'设计奖的核心标准——空间创新运用、技术融入和美学吸引力。• 空间创新利用：项目将1588平方米的占地重新构想为一场多元宇宙之旅，多个区域通过曲线状的GRG形态和蜿蜒水道无缝衔接（主中庭、绿色生态走廊、休息酒吧和天空花园）。没有两个访客以相同的顺序体验空间，使“空间的使用”本身就是一种叙事。• 技术的融入：技术不仅是加法，更是基础——从互动LED光晕屏幕到建筑每一条曲线中嵌入的灯光。关键是，所有技术元素都经过校准，以服务于访客的情感旅程，而非反之。• 美学吸引力：项目平衡了超现实（数字星云、几何光雕）与永恒元素（郁郁葱葱的绿植、水景、有机形态），营造出既未来感又深植自然的美学。这一认可标志着JFR工作室沉浸式室内设计理念的关键转变：从“设计空间”转向“设计体验”。未来项目中，这意味着优先考虑叙事连贯性、跨学科协作和可及性——确保我们创造的每一个沉浸式环境不仅视觉震撼，更能引起所有观众的情感共鸣。
该项目为复杂的沉浸式休闲设计带来了关键见解：各学科的碎片化设计导致美学、工程与法规合规之间不可避免的冲突。只有通过整合所有制造和技术供应商，将所有结构、消防、声学、照明和机械的定量计算整合进最早的设计阶段——统一参数化3D建模、关节材料原型、隐蔽公用设施预制、精准现场处理和同步场景控制调试——空间才能同时满足严格的监管验收标准，并实现分层， 高端多感官访客沉浸式体验。奥拉公园休闲空间的整个开发周期从上海（2024年10月）的设计启动，到杭州（2025年7月）全面交付建设，这是一个极具挑战性的大型项目。我们必须协调远程可视化设计师、声学工程师和数十家现场制造供应商，同时还要与现场施工团队合作，这带来了沉重的后勤管理和创意交付压力。最具变革性的意外危机发生在2025年3月中旬现场安装前测试期间，我们最初批准的单体无缝弧形天花板设计与结构载荷限制、通风要求、照明规范、消防安全规范、水景电气安全规则及定制饰面特性发生了不可调和的冲突。这场冲突迫使我们彻底重头彻尾的核心天花板设计方案。通过让所有供应商将每一个可量化的工程计算整合进重新构想的分层天花板系统，我们优化了从3D建模到场景控制调试的每一个环节，解决了所有合规障碍，并为访客带来了更丰富的多感官沉浸体验。所有强制的隐蔽消防、机械和结构工程系统都有机地嵌入了天花板的雕塑形态中，而不是作为支离破碎的附带装置突出。该空间在一个统一的系统中平衡了严格的建筑安全规范、功能性机械要求和高概念艺术超现实主义。参观者体验到一种连续、细腻、连贯的多感官旅程，没有视觉或大气碎片化——这是我们最初单一实心GRG天花板概念无法实现的效果。
Aura Park的情感弧线——升华、狂喜、转变——通过一系列精心编排的空间瞬间塑造，每一个瞬间都旨在触发访客特定的感官反应。旅程从绿色生态走廊开始，游客通过蜿蜒的水道、热带绿植和圆形LED框架植物景观，逐步适应环境。这一阶段强调“扎根”：水声柔和，植物香气，自然视觉的柔和光辉营造出宁静感，为访客做好迎接未来的准备。随着访客向主中庭移动，空间大幅扩展：弧形GRG墙体高耸入云，反光大理石地板放大光线，天花板光晕屏幕完全展现，展现星云和森林动画的全貌。这一“升华”阶段以规模、光线和运动逐渐增加为标志，逐渐向中庭中央水景推进，光、水与几何象雕的交织营造出“狂喜”时刻——一种惊奇感和与超越自我的事物的连接感。旅程终点是天空花园和休息酒吧，这里节奏再次放慢，让访客有机会在亲密、温暖色调的空间中反思自己的体验。这一“转化”的最后阶段让参观者将超现实体验融入自己的记忆中，将惊奇瞬间转化为持久的情感印象。
Aura Park的概念基因——聚焦人类意识、自然与科技的融合以及多感官叙事——将通过优先考虑“体验深度”而非表面视觉盛宴，影响JFR Studio未来的项目。展望未来，我们将继续探索设计如何成为自我反思的催化剂，创造邀请访客与自身对现实、自然和时间感知互动的空间。对于更广泛的体验式室内设计领域来说，Aura Park标志着一场关键的演变：远离科技驱动的噱头，迈向“感官共生”。在日益数字化的世界中，社区渴望拥有既与自然世界相连又能回应其情感需求的空间。这意味着未来的体验式设计必须在创新与可及性、技术与人性、视觉盛宴与意义之间取得平衡。能够适应多元受众的空间——从儿童到老年人，从科技爱好者到自然爱好者——将保持文化相关性，成为聚集地、逃离现实的时刻和自我发现的机会。
Aura Park最持久的见解是，“高雅艺术”与“公共体验”之间的界限并非固定——可以通过有意图、包容性的设计来消除。回顾从最初草图到国际认可的旅程，我们了解到，一个项目的力量不仅在于其哲学复杂性或技术创新，更在于它让抽象理念变得触手可及、易于所有访客接触。对于推动体验空间边界的设计师和建筑师来说，这意味着优先考虑“情感共鸣”而非小众吸引力：从最大的LED屏幕到最小的植物，每一个元素都应服务于访客的旅程，邀请他们以全新视角看世界。我们还了解到跨学科的协作——建筑师、数字艺术家、工程师，甚至园艺师之间的协作——对于创造既连贯又充满生命力的空间至关重要。归根结底，Aura Park重申了最具变革性的体验空间不是那些“打动”访客的空间，而是那些“邀请”他们参与、好奇和连接——彼此、与自然以及与自身想象力相连的空间。
为了让“人类意识的进化”这一抽象主题对日常访客易于理解并产生情感共鸣，我们将每一个哲学思想都扎根于具体感官体验中。通过三大设计策略，避免了概念压倒生活体验的风险：1.自然作为通用语言：郁郁葱葱的绿植、水景和有机形态成为访客熟悉的“锚点”，将抽象主题扎根于他们能看见、触摸和听见的事物中。即使是最超现实的数字动画也根植于自然图案——星云映照水的漩涡，森林视觉呼应周围的植物——使得超凡脱俗的氛围显得亲切可亲。2. 多感官、多层次互动：空间设计提供不同层次的体验，满足不同注意力和兴趣。孩子们可以与灯光雕塑和喷泉互动，而成年人则可以停下来反思光影的相互作用或动画的叙事弧线。这确保没有访客感到不知所措;相反，他们以自己的节奏参与这个概念。3。”发现“而非”指导“：该空间并未明确解释其哲学主题。相反，它邀请访客通过自身旅程发现意义——无论是孩子第一次接触“数字森林”，还是成年人对天花板星云的惊叹时刻。通过保持叙事开放，我们允许每位访客带入自己的视角，使概念变得个人化而非抽象。
Aura Park“材料诚实与体验幻觉”的悖论正是其超现实氛围的核心，通过有意选择和处理玻璃钢筋石膏（GRG）、花纹大理石和金属漆等材料实现。GRG：这种材料创造无缝有机曲线的能力，是营造“活生生”建筑与周围森林融合的核心。其光滑哑光表面柔和吸收光线，而不规则的造型营造出运动感，使建成环境既自然又超凡脱俗。图案大理石地板：反光纹理表面如镜面映照LED屏幕和水景，使空间视觉层次加倍，模糊了物理世界与数字世界的界限。其自然图案呼应建筑和绿植的有机形态，营造出连贯梦幻的环境。金属漆与纹理饰面：这些材料使用节约，用以放大光影，随着访客移动空间的细微变化。例如，几何大象雕塑上的金属漆捕捉LED灯光，将静态形态转化为充满活力的体验元素。Aura Park的核心教训是，材料工艺不仅仅是美学，更是讲故事的过程。当材料的选择和处理根植于项目叙事时，可以是“诚实”（揭示其自然特性）和“变革性”（创造幻觉）。对于新兴设计师来说，这意味着将材料视为参与者，而非被动的构建块，而是作为访客体验中的积极参与者，能够塑造情感、感知甚至现实。
