Unique Properties

This is a community clubhouse that shows the future life of the community.Combine the surficial landscape space and the underground construction, integrating the concept of mountain shapes to create a landscape -style building. In this way, the building’s perception of solidity will be weakened to fully integrate into the urban space. It also reduces the interference of the building to the urban environment and maintains the continuity of the urban landscape space.

Production Technology

We used a new building material GRC to shape the entire landscape installation and the facade of the building. Its strong plasticity perfectly expresses the sense of smooth curves.

Design Challenge

Our biggest challenge:One is how to solve the problem of underground lighting and poor landscape, and the other is how to guide people from the ground to the underground club space.

Research

The project is located in Xuanwu District, the central city of Nanjing; therefore, the surrounding communities have laid a good foundation for its popularity. In addition, there are underground passages connecting the project base and the surrounding communities, which contribute to a strong accessibility; in the future, there will be an underground station constructed in this area, making the club functions as a transportation hub.

Inspiration

We inspired by the shape of the rolling hills, creates the surficial landscape which extends down to the visual surface of the building. It connects the surficial and underground space. The project base is surrounded by mountains, with natural landscape resources such as Zijin Mountain and Hongshan Forest Zoo.

Project Duration

The project started in April 2020 in Nanjing and finished in August 2020 in Nnajing, and was exhibited in Nanjing in August 2020.

Operation Flow

We hope that the community centre, as a place for exchanges and gatherings, can promote family relationships and neighbourhood relationships, and become a city node that stimulates public energy.
