About Development of Suzhou 2017 WG47 住宅建築

蘇州2017 WG47の開発は、蘇州旧市街に位置する住宅プロジェクトである。設計は蘇州古典庭園の配置原理を援用し、自由に流れるような中庭が屋内外の空間を結び、拡張させている。建築の形態は江南建築の伝統に倣い、各構成要素は細心の注意をもって分割・配置・選定されている。伝統的な素材と現代的な素材が組み合わされ、チタン亜鉛板が灰色の小瓦に代わり、合金部材が木の桟に代わり、石材が回廊の柱の基礎を形づくっている。

Unique Properties: The project draws on the essence of Suzhou Gardens' layout design. It emphasizes a free-flowing courtyard andthe utilization and extension of the interior and exterior spaces. It adopts the core of Jiangnan architectural culture in modelling design. Every component of the building is going to be split, arranged and selected. The interaction between architecture and garden is also valued. Traditional and modern materials are reasonably matched to show the modern Zen spirit in landscape design.

Tags: Oriental charm, Jiangnan classical garden, elegance, traditional architecture, China Railway, Construction Real Estate, metal, titanium zinc roofing
Production Technology: Roofing: Use more advanced materials like titanium zinc plates to replace small gray tiles because they lack the exquisiteness of upscale buildings.
Wood components: Use alloy components instead of the traditional fragile wood strips.
Doors and windows: Use alloy-framed and soundproof glass window of high air tightness to replace the traditional wooden sash.
Corridor pillars: Use stone as the base and metal as the body.
Foundation: Use traditional stone materials like before.
Design Challenge: The project acts as the pioneer in China that transforms the traditional Chinese-style villa into the innovative Chinese-style one. All facade components are upgraded from traditional wood to aluminum alloy components. The traditional small gray-tile roofing is replaced with titanium zinc plates but still keeps the original style. The challenge is that it has a long R and D period with high cost.
Research: The construction of the plot shows the designer's memory about the ancient city, and is a heritage of history and culture. The design combines traditional and modern methods to renovate the nearly failing old town of Suzhou.
The project is sited at the heartland of Suzhou's old town, enjoying a unique location. The design draws on the architectural characteristics of Jiangnan buildings, aiming to create a high-end villa product worth of collection.
Inspiration: The project is in the center of Suzhou's old town. To its south lies the renowned and representative Jiangnan classical garden, the Humble Administrator's Garden. Its north is connected to a river and in its west sits the North Temple Pagoda. Thus, it enjoys an excellent location. Since the plot belongs to the key protected area of the cityscape, it will have a great influence on the construction and development of Suzhou's old town.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2018 and finished in December 2020 in Suzhou.
Operation Flow: The project aims to find out a new form of Jiangnan garden architecture that conforms to modern aesthetic taste, technical characteristics and spiritual core through arranging and analyzing the traditional ones. The house layout is evolving toward intensiveness and efficiency. The key is to create a space within limited area where people can live, play and appreciate by learning from the space organization method of the Suzhou Gardens.
