According to the theory of relativity, the flow of time varies with the speed of an object, while space bends to different degrees depending on the mass of celestial bodies in its vicinity. This insight led meticulous scientists to wonder: if space can bend and time can slow down, what would happen when space bends to an extreme extent? Thus, the gateway to spacetime was conceived!
Upon entering the hotel lobby, guests traverse a "spacetime tunnel" to reach this gateway. Leveraging the original architectural structure, we integrated the four central columns of the lobby with the spacetime gateway, creating a curved, irregular design that captivates attention. Beyond its visual appeal, the gateway offers an interactive experience through technological means: holographic projections respond to guests—for instance, their footsteps leave glowing light trails on the floor, evoking the sensation of truly traveling through spacetime to other dimensions.
The overall design merges the Pullman business style with a planetary theme, featuring sleek, streamlined shapes. It embodies simplicity without compromising on modern elegance, seamlessly blending functional business sophistication with the whimsy of interstellar exploration.
