tomshi & associates incorporates science fiction elements into the entire interior of the HAYDON beauty collection store, situated in guangzhou’s beijing road, in china. the space adopts the concept of the ‘black hole’ to break the definition of beauty, and uses artistic sense and technological power to build a retail experience that references its qualities.

tomshi & associates‘s project draws from black holes, the mysterious celestial spaces attracting all things to flow into the unknown realm with their powerful gravitational field. the HAYDON beauty collection store is separated into upper and lower layers, which are connected via a geometrical spiral staircase, while elements such as arcs, rings, domes, and spheres adorn the interior.geometry runs through the whole spatial structure

the design style of HAYDON remains simple, using the most concise architectural language to integrate with the surrounding lingnan architecture. the façade uses the design technique of optical illusion, and each module is cut obliquely. from the front, it takes shape as a mysterious box, applying black stone material, showing the architectural aesthetics by the golden ratio. furthermore, the gray tone continues in harmony with the original beijing road characteristic architecture.
