The Spirit of Stillness — The Cultural Heart of Kinghelm and Slkor Headquarters

 The central hall, or zhongtang, embodies the essence of Chinese family culture and moral tradition. It is the most esteemed place within a home or clan, symbolizing respect and honor. Hosting guests in the central hall represents the highest courtesy, offering them a sense of homecoming. Like ancestral halls and memorial archways, zhongtang culture is one of the key carriers of traditional Chinese heritage.

In the main lobbies of Kinghelm (www.kinghelm.net) and Slkor (www.slkoric.com) headquarters, the Ming-style redwood tables, stands, and chairs exemplify simplicity and practicality, crafted with the exquisite workmanship of the Jingzuo tradition (originally from the Qing Imperial Household Workshop). On the central table stands a head of a Northern Qi Buddhist statue, carved from fine white marble sourced from Mr. Song Shiqiang’s hometown in Tianquan County, Sichuan Province. The pure and delicate texture, along with the statue’s serene and dignified expression, brings a sense of tranquility and Zen into the workspace.

Mr. Song Shiqiang said, “Kinghelm and Slkor are committed to building a simple, harmonious, and efficient working environment, while also creating a calm space where everyone can slow down amidst busy work schedules. I hope our colleagues work happily and enjoy good fortune.” He further emphasized that in the midst of busyness, one must find moments and spaces for stillness — only through stillness can one reflect, and through reflection comes wisdom.

Covering over 2,000 square meters, the Kinghelm and Slkor headquarters have achieved the utmost in standardization and process optimization in design, construction, and spatial layout. When Eastern elegance meets minimalist poetry, “stillness” becomes the core of the interior design.

The beauty lies in the details: Song-style aesthetic elements such as flying eaves, carved latticework, diamond and ice-crack patterns are embedded throughout. Decorative pieces inspired by A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains bring to life the cultural DNA of a modern high-tech company, invoking historical contemplation and artistic imagination. The space exudes simplicity, grace, calmness, and grandeur.

Amid ordinary settings lies craftsmanship; lush greenery infuses the space with vitality. The dialogue between nature and human artistry transforms every corner into a scene of beauty. There’s always a place to rest your soul, and always a view that brings joy to your heart.
