Production Technology: Situated in an open site surrounded by the mountains, the exterior of the building is covered with a wide layer of water, while the interior functional space is distributed around the lotus pond to create a buffer zone and viewing distance among the pedestrians. The architecture uses modern techniques that incorporate large amounts of local materials like brick, tile, wood and stone, and it was constructed to combine with the courtyard corridor in an undulation form, referred to general extension direction of the mountains, building a natural and peaceful world finally.
Design Challenge: It also reflects the designer's design thinking about the fusion of Jiuhua's local cultural history and contemporary space design.
Research: This project compromised the landscape of Jiuhua Mountain and the local Buddhist culture, highlighted the core of tourism and leisure resort functions, with a harmonious blend of people and space, space and architecture, architecture and nature, created such a traditional and tasteful yet equally modern building-a landscape of mountains and rivers with great oriental connotation.
Inspiration: Inside this project, reception hall, meditation room, leisure negotiation area, tea room and Chinese Circle are all arranged with the six senses of Eye, Nose, Ear, Body, Tongue and Meaning as the clues, representing what people see and hear, and even the whole spatial perception, blending natural landscape and cultural atmosphere to sublimate the space experience to the spiritual level.
Project Duration: 2019.5, Chizhou City, China
Operation Flow: Zen Hall is deliberately drawn from the century old buildings in Anhui province, such as the lotus styling and the lighting ornaments, paintings are fully integrated into the overall space, increasing the sense of fit with the local natural and cultural environment.
