About The Osmanthus Grace Salmenta Zentroa

Osmanthus Grace Wenzhouko (Txina) salmenta zentro bat da, 450 metro koadroko orube batean eraikia. Eraikin linealak Cui Wei mendiaren eta Ou ibaiaren artean dago, eta zati batek ura ukitzen du. Eskala desberdinetako azpiespazio konektatuen segida batek bisitariak eremu ilunetatik argitsuetara eramaten ditu. Sabai inklinatuek begiradak paisaiarantz jaisten dituzte, eta gune hondoratu batek bilera-eremua zehazten du. Margolan luzeen itxurako fatxada zabalek barnealdearen eta kanpoaldearen arteko bereizketa murrizten dute. Egurra, harria eta landareak dira material nagusiak. Planoak, gainera, erabileraren etorkizuneko aldaketak ahalbidetzen ditu.

'We wish every visitor can feel the calmness of time and interact with nature.' Walking circulation transforms from dark to bright, enriching light levels in the space, establishing atmosphere of great mountains in limited space.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2020 and finished in September 2020 in Wenzhou, China
