Shine Estuary is a community center located in the Oujiang New District of Wenzhou, China. The building is formed by three offset ellipsoid volumes that are superimposed upon each other, and a shared space connects the three volumes and links the whole building. The curved shapes recall the ripples made by fishing boats on the Oujiang River. Panels of ultra-white glass, measuring up to 2 by 6.15 meters, open the facade toward the water. Meeting rooms are placed on the third floor, which offers the best view of the river.
