Located in the Fengtai District of Beijing, the Sunken Garden is an exhibition that merges the modern with the traditional. The structures feature a current build that still takes nature as its main inspiration. The concept came to be out of a mission of creating an experience that is both intimate and intense. The project looks at ideas present in Suzhou gardens tradition, including the cave’s rock, outcrop, and occidental equivalent. Additionally, it pays homage to the hanging garden concept, which is much more modern.

The Sunken Garden opened to the public in 2013 and was created by the Plasma Studio. As you enter the exhibition, you feel like you are in a canyon with compressed landscape corridors. The design team wanted to use this feeling of thickness and formational to explore how architectural elements can create a passage where material, shade, and enclosure dictate the spatial experience. Additionally, the pavement flows throughout the garden, creating a sense of harmony and fluidity throughout.

Inspired by the shapes, we created a triangle design with the KSI carpet. With the Sunken Garden in mind, we decided to recolor it in grey, beige, and black tones. This color palette creates a modern and unique carpet design along with the distinctive geometric qualities of the pattern.

We decided to use stone-like textures for the material board by including Rift by Atlas Concorde USA, Babylon Gray by MSI, and Eco Terr Slabs. Additionally, we wanted to play with tones of green to pay homage to the foliage in the gardens. Therefore, we included Mystique by Garrett Leather, Jungle Canopy by Benjamin Moore, and Hidden Trail by Sherwin Williams. Lastly, we wanted to play with a metallic color and unique pattern by adding Fabricoil Steel by Cascade Architectural as a final touch.

Schedule an introduction with us

Sitting right next to Pompidou in Paris is Atelier Brancusi. This place is a reconstruction of the studio of renowned Romanian-born artist Constantin Brancusi. In the atelier, there are 137 sculptures, 87 bases, 41 drawings, two paintings, and more than 1600 grass photographic plates and prints by the artist.

Brancusi died in 1957, leaving behind a lot of his work in his studio, which consisted of 11 joined studios. The Romanian artist would break down walls to adjoin studios and create various environments to exhibit his work. He considered the relationship between sculptures and the space they occupied to be of crucial importance.

In 1997, the Atelier Brancusi as we know it today opened its doors on the esplanade of the Center Pompidou. So much of Brancusi’s work is on display at the atelier, giving you an idea of how much the artist put into the world. There are wood and plaster sculptures, bronze colonnades, animal shapes, and photographic studies. It is a beautiful and inspiring place to visit.

Inspired by the stone and natural textures of Brancusi’s work, we recolored the Stone Surface carpet. This is part of the nature collection by ege carpets, which takes inspiration from forests, deserts, and oceans. This light recolor of the carpet allows you to bring a textured palette to your next interior design project.

We created a material board that focuses on a textured palette with the atelier colors and the recolored carpet in mind. We included dark woods like Texas Mesquite 83000 and Artisanal Hardwoods. Keeping the dark brown theme, we also included different textured textiles like Artisan Textured Finishes by CopperSmith, Basketcase by Cortina Leathers, Lafayette Velvet by Opuzen, and Chesney by Valley Forge Fabrics. Additionally, we decided to bring some lighter tones of cream and white by adding Cove, True Terrazzo, Concrete Look Porcelain Paver, and Passion. To tie in the soft colors with the dark ones, we included mid-toned neutral paints like Crewel Tan by Sherwin-Williams and Mesa Tan by Dunn-Edwards Paints.
