Production Technology

The fluctuate continuously ceiling is formed and stitched by craftsmen. In the selection of materials, the bamboo and wood abundant in Anji provide us with advantaged construction materials.

Design Challenge

The natural raw materials are warm and soft, without any decoration, and they harmoniously dissolve into the infinite greenness. It not only weakens the huge scale of the architectural framework and adds exquisite texture to the rigid concrete, but also echoes the surrounding natural landscape, making the building and nature more closely through this way. In the designer's opinion, a good life or a good design work must be related to nature, which is also the core of the design of this case.

Research

Hill Wind is located in the beautiful mountains and lake light of Anji County, Huzhou City. This ancient Longwang Village with over 200 years of ancient paper-making skills is known as the "Three Clean Places" of clean air, clean water and clean soil. It is a secluded quiet dwelling full of artistic flavor and embracing natural scenery.

Inspiration

According to the regional characteristics, the designer combines the local culture and historical context in the process of conception. Under the dominant atmosphere of modernism, the designer uses the language of design to create dialogue with space, and then interprets the visual, tactile and spiritual resonance, reproducing the Anji area humanistic landscape pattern of "The cicada noise highlights the silence of the forest, and birdsong sets off the depth of the mountain".
