Pingyuan Mysterious Stone Art is a museum for the exhibition and trade of rare stones. The building stands on a quiet site, with the eastern side facing a stone garden and open plains along the rest of the perimeter. The museum is shaped as one large stone divided into four parts, each holding a separate exhibition. A central atrium with skylights links the four halls and forms a circular visitor route. The main facade is made of stone panels, while large glass areas and an overhanging structure open the southern and eastern sides. A public terrace offers views toward the stone garden.

- Design Challenge
- The project has simple shape but highly focus on the structure which is the biggest challenges. Because of cutting the corners closed to the ground, how to make the overhanging structure come true becomes the most difficult problems for architect and engineer to think.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2019 in Pingyuan, Shandong Province of China and will be finished in September 2021.
- Operation Flow
- Due to the large flow of people in the commercial street on the north side, the entrance on the north side is set at the same time, and the height difference is solved through the steps to enter the two-storey atrium. The atrium is opened with skylights and has tropical rainforest IP exhibition which brings good publicity , and effectively activates the business value. The circulation line on the south side reaches the stairs on the north side to the second floor, and the exhibition halls on the second floor are connected in series through corridors. The public terrace in the southeast corner offers excellent views to visitors looking towards the stone garden to the southeast.
- Research
- During the high development of urbanization, the most important responsibility for architects is to respect the local natural environment and cultural background. We try not to use obtrusive materials and shapes and try to restore the simplicity of the stone itself. Taking into account the tour route of the exhibition, we think it is best for the four exhibition halls to be spread out in all directions, connected by the courtyard of light in the middle, so as to form a better circular route.
- Inspiration
- Due to the owner has an obsession with all kind of rare stones,we take the concept of jade which has the appearance of primitive simplicity,magnificent connotation.We treat the whole museum as a huge stone,then break it into four parts for different exhibitions.We integrate the atrium with light into the project to connect four stone exhibitions.In contrast to the surroundings,the museum is like a beacon,a huge mysterious exhibit itself,attracting people to coming.
