Design Details

Unique Properties
Different from traditional commerce, in the definition of No. 5 Forest, the designers began to try to explore new space use functions, or cafes, or show venues, or podiums, theaters, exhibitions and so on, the same spatial form points to different functional attributes.
Inspiration
Among the lush greenery, a white house disappeared on the side of Xincheng Road. In sharp contrast with the building groups facing each other, No. 5 Forest, it is quiet in the urban nature. At the entrance, in the organic sequence, trees are standing, and a lot of "planting" is used to create, trying a "natural restoration" method to return it to a more simple state, forming a landscape that can connect with nature interior space.
Research
From the outside to the inside, through the forest, the simple and white building blocks, mottled shadows of trees, project the traces of time, and the joyful rhythm of life, they are shadowy, they are ups and downs.
Challenge
In a rectangular white box, the circle is placed, breaking the single geometric form, liberating the familiar walking path, and creating a rich flow of movement, without constraints, free in and out.
Realization and Technology
From the big to the small, through a small box, picking up the level, the design of the scene, the green plant space enclosed by the glass, not only meets the needs of daily lighting, but also allows the eyes to be stretched. The powerful way like the rain forest shows the exuberance and loveliness of life.
Operation and Interaction
The light from the patio, when appropriate, pouring down, contains a certain spirituality unique to the field, which exists in you and me, even if it is a moment of thought.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in December 2019 in Wuxi and finished in September 2020 in Wuxi.
Specifications
The project covers a total of 1000 square meters.
