神圣，安然，犹如一件精致的古董。Sacred, calm, as an exquisite antique.

这就是如恩设计的阿那亚艺术中心，其位于秦皇岛黄金海岸社区的内部，以一种空间、艺术和环境的对话打破对固有艺术展陈的印象，企图在这片悠闲度假地丰富人们的艺术情感。Aranya art center by Neri&Hu design is a reflection as above, which settles itself inside the seaside resort community of Qinhuangdao, China. It is a dialogue between art space and community, breaking the normal of art displays, as an attempt to enrich people’s spiritual life.

外立面以厚重的混凝土墙砖有序拼接，加以青铜元素，不同的肌理呈现，随着阳光的走位，光影之间的比例也在不停变幻，如此地强烈，呼应了如恩设计以当地海水的季节性变化的设计灵感，让人感到对大自然保持敬畏的心态。The façade is composed of heavy textured concretes, accented by bronze details. While different locations of the sun brings strong and  shifting proportions on the surface, it echoes the space’s inspiration that draws from seasonal ocean waters nearby, and further makes people to feel in awe of nature.

建筑内部更是别有洞天，中心是一个环形的阶梯式庭院，挖凿的水流沟渠铺列在上，可放水形成水景，也可空置作剧场集会空间，一侧是卷宗书店，艺术类书籍居多；螺旋上升的连廊引导人们逐一探索五个陈列空间，有一种曲径通幽处的观感，最终到达顶部，往下看既可一窥内部，也可俯瞰四周的社区。时而，阳光透过玻璃洒入，辉映在墙面上形成互动。The interior is about more exploration. At the base lies a stepped amphitheater, with circular shape and water channel, both as a installation and performance venue; Alongside is wallpaper bookstore, allowing visitors to meander freely; The ascending path is a journey  through five galleries, that guides to the rooftop where you get 360-degree viewing. From time to time, sunlight shines through the glass and glows on the walls to create an interaction.

阿那亚艺术中心，这一承载精神文化的空间容器，为社区居民提供了更多的精神空间体验。Aranya art center, as a container that carries spiritual culture, provides more spiritual experience for community residents.
