DESIGN CONCEPT
The design of the lobby, its associated canopy and porte cochere is themed upon the main theme of the development itself; ie “Water Ballet”. The primary focus of this is upon a series of 4, specially commissioned sculptural figures which apparently float above a reflective water pool. Each figure represents a movement or position taken from ballet dance itself. The pool below reflects the figures and as a result they shimmer or move as the water reflections dance across the adjacent surfaces.
In the design of the lobby we have extended the idea of reflection or water dancing by first extending the reflecting pool into the lobby itself. The lobby is double height with full height windows and doors all around . The proportions are grand but not over-powering. This is designed to be a residents’ lobby which is a personal or human scale space rather than classically intimidating or cold. The ceiling is finished in a sparkling wall covering finish
which also subtly shifts tone as one moves through the space or according ot the time of day.
The ceiling is dominated by a chandelier made up of 8 groups or drops of clear glass spheres totaling about 960 which give the impression of bubbles or water droplets sparkling in the light above. The lighting has been specially designed and made specifically for this project to details from the designers.
Facing you as you enter the lobby on the end wall is a specially commissioned sculpture based on the form of a tree with crystal decoration which will also sparkle in the light and shimmer a little as the glass moves in the air currents.
Passing the reception counter one turns left into a more intimate lounge area furnished with individual custom designed and made pieces of furniture. Through here are the main doors leading to landscaped gardens which in turn lead to the residents’ building entrances and facilities.

大廳的設計運用了”水芭蕾 ”本身的主題來結合雨披和門廊。 首先引人注目的是一系列4座210㎝像是飄浮在水池上的銅雕，而每一座雕像的姿態都是取自芭蕾舞蹈的動作，下方的水池反映出每一座雕像，水中的倒影隨著波光粼粼的水面閃耀舞動。
我們將水池中倒影的水舞意念延伸至大廳內，兩層樓挑高的空間搭配著四面環繞的落地門窗，使比例上顯得堂皇華麗而又不會感到壓迫，整個大廳的空間是以住戶的使用需求來設計，因此不會流於使人無法親近的古典俗套，而更增加了一份私密性。當在大廳走動或隨著時間的不同，閃閃發光的天花平面會呈現出光澤微妙轉變的感覺。
從天花垂吊而下的是一盞盞由設計師為本案巧思設計的吊燈，它們是由8組(玻璃球總數約為 960 個)透明玻璃球串連構成，讓人感覺閃亮的氣泡或水珠從天而降。
進入大廳面對盡頭的端景牆，有一株特別的樹狀銅雕藝術品，而枝幹上點綴的水晶會隨著空氣的流動和光線的折射而搖曳生輝。
經過接待櫃檯向左側走 ，映入眼簾的是由獨特設計的傢俱所佈置的私密休憩區，而走出大門後將是景觀花園，最後再轉入住宅大樓入口。
整體而言，水舞耀動的概念在大廳內處處可見，呈現在天花，壁面，地面，照明及藝術品各個細部上，讓住戶進入後就會沈浸在光線與水舞共創的氛圍當中。
