Description(English)	"The Veil" City Lounge in Sungang contrasts its industrial locale with minimalist femininity. Roof openings filter light into hazy veil-like ambience, symbolizing yin-yang. Visitors traverse bright/dary zones via a central "stage divider" staircase. Fluid curved walls dissolve boundaries: ceiling veils add lightness. LED projections Create surreal transparency at night. Yin-yang zoning balances social and private spaces, forming an elegant sensory sanctuary.
Description(Native)	“城市客厅City Lounge“坐落于深圳罗湖笋岗片区，其极简内敛的建筑形态在粗犷的工业社区中构筑出柔美女性化空间，设计以“揭幕“为隐喻，通过层层揭示引导访客理解在地文化，并在阴阳哲学间穿行体验惊喜与发现 空间精随体现在光影的戏剧性表达：天窗与格栅过滤的自然光线形成薄雾状光晕，模拟“透过面纱观物”的滕胧意境。这种动态光影不仅呼应时间流逝，更深化了访客对空间尺度与质感的感知。动线设计强化体验层次：访客被引导于明亮开放区与幽暗围合区交替行进，中央楼梯作为关键过渡元素，被赋予“舞台幕布”的象征意义，将场景从公共区域引入私密序列、明暗转换构成感官探索之旅，赋予空间叙事深度。 功能性通过流动形态实现：所有墻体采用无棱角曲面，灵感直接取自面纱的柔软垂坠特性。曲线消除建筑与自然的刚性边界，天花延伸的“面纱“装饰元素进一步减轻体量感，使访客在空间中自如移动，建筑外墙设计强化戏剧效果：特珠玻璃幕墙白天折射半透明光泽，夜间则成为LED投影载体，投影非实体特性使室内人景若隐若现，形成“似远若近”的虚实叠影，结合建统与环境的突兀共生关系，催生超现实美照，空间组织遵循阴阳辩证：阳区设置社交节点激发人际连接，阴区营造冥想角落供个体沉思，在开放与私密，交流与沉漫间建立动态平衡，最终通过三重维度——光影的哲学表达，曲面的边界消解、分区的功能辩证—实现包容性中庸美学，于刚毅工业肌理中绽放优雅变革力量。
