About Leaves Club Social

Leaves és un club social per a una comunitat residencial, situat a mitja muntanya a Changsha, Xina. L'interior ocupa 2000 metres quadrats distribuïts en dues plantes. La primera planta acull un vestíbul de recepció, una piscina i un gimnàs, i la segona planta és una zona d'oci amb un bar-biblioteca. Una instal·lació lumínica de fulles LED fetes a mida està suspesa per cables d'acer i alumini pintats de blanc que també actuen com a conductors. La tecnologia de control d'il·luminació modifica la lluminositat de cada fulla per imitar el vent de tardor. El sostre ondulat de l'edifici anterior s'ha conservat per evocar una muntanya ondulada.
