In 1851, London hosted the Great Exhibition in what would become one of the world’s finest examples of modern architecture: the Crystal Palace. Complete with dramatic arches and a shimmering, transparent facade, the palace was absolutely gargantuan. It integrated 293,000 panes of glass, a 128-foot-high ceiling, and housed more than 14,000 exhibitors from around the world. The Crystal Palace was ultimately destroyed by a fire in 1936, but it’s now receiving a second life hundreds of miles away from London.

At the INSPIRE Entertainment Resort in Incheon, South Korea, an entrance area known as the “Cube” has been transformed into the Crystal Palace. Upon entering the Cube, visitors encounter immersive LED displays mounted on ceilings and walls, each showcasing decadent, iridescent interiors that teem with light. The installation boasts a startling degree of detail, with ornate decor peppered across the domed ceiling, wall trim, and sophisticated arches. Despite being entirely composed of flat screens, and unfolding indoors, the Crystal Palace installation achieves a remarkable three-dimensionality. It’s as though, even if only for a moment, visitors have been transported back in time to 1851.

INSPIRE regularly unveils these kinds of rich, digitally-produced worlds throughout their spaces. This past year, they’ve plunged visitors into the magic of the African savanna at twilight; invited guests on a journey through the mysteries and vastness of our solar system; and, of course, reimagined the Crystal Palace as an even more decadent architectural marvel. Recently, the Cube entrance area was also home to the “Cave” installation, which, as its name suggests, recreated a cavern filled with waterfalls, rocky edges, and, from above, a soft glimmer of light.

Beyond the Cube, INSPIRE also features a 15,000-seat multi-purpose performance venue; a digital entertainment street called the Aurora, which is canopied by a high-resolution, 150-meter-long (about 492 feet) LED display; and the Rotunda, where a kinetic chandelier hangs.

“At INSPIRE, we believe inspiration is the catalyst for experiencing the world in a fresh and exhilarating way,” the resort writes. “We invite you to a space where the joy of discovery, the pleasure of unparalleled comfort, and the thrill of exciting activities converge into a symphony of experiences.”

  • Olympia Prairie Home

    The designer’s task was to build a modern, budget-minded home that was livable and respected its rural environment. The Yelm residence is a contemporary take on a country home: using a combination of simple, cost-effective methods to create a warm, comfortable space through clean lines and precise design. A minimal exterior material palette of wood and stucco siding with metal panel accents helps to highlight the beauty of the 10 acres of land on which the house rests. Concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls frame the entry and a flat roof plane hovers overhead to ground the project into the prairie style landscape. The home reflects the clients’ informal lifestyle and relationship to the environment. He is a graphic designer who works from home; her hobbies include sewing, craft projects, and gardening.
    The home is 2,200 square feet and L-shaped in plan, which allows for the master suite and office to be separated from the guest rooms, craft room and garage. Centrally placed are the open plan living room, kitchen, and dining room. These rooms create a core space with expansive glass walls that connect the owners visually and physically to the landscape. Private views of foothills and tree-covered wetlands are offered through the transparent core, along with sightings of deer and elk near the back patio. Designed with radiant floor heating, heat-recovery technology, and natural ventilation, the simplicity of the floor plan’s organization creates an intimate and warm interior environment. A concrete masonry fireplace paired with the copper-toned, stained birch ceiling also adds material warmth. Circulation through the space is enlivened by built-in storage benches, acting as visual breaks and adding pops of color. Efficient planning and the repetition of elements throughout the house helped to keep costs down, resulting in an economically priced, modern home that compliments its natural environment.
