About The Osmanthus Grace Verkaufszentrum

The Osmanthus Grace ist ein Verkaufszentrum in Wenzhou, China, das auf einem 450 Quadratmeter großen Grundstück errichtet wurde. Der lineare Baukörper liegt zwischen dem Berg Cui Wei und dem Ou-Fluss, wobei ein Teil bis an das Wasser heranreicht. Eine Abfolge miteinander verbundener Teilräume unterschiedlicher Größe führt die Besucher von dunklen in helle Bereiche. Geneigte Decken lenken die Blickachsen hinab zur Landschaft, und ein abgesenkter Bereich definiert die Besprechungszone. Breite, wie lange Bildrollen geformte Fassaden verringern die Trennung zwischen Innen- und Außenraum. Holz, Stein und Pflanzen sind die wesentlichen Materialien. Der Entwurf lässt zudem eine künftige Umnutzung zu.
