Taizhou Mansion is a commercial building located in an old town area of Taizhou, China. The design references the traditional Chinese garden. Zigzag walls and winding paths separate the site from the noisy surroundings and frame selected views. A main courtyard is placed at the center, and the functional spaces are arranged around the courtyard to form a circular route. Smaller courtyards are linked by the winding paths. White sandstone, metallic aluminium sheet, glass and metal grids are used. Standardized module design is applied throughout.

- For the maximized benefits of the landscape, the architect puts the main courtyard in the center and surround all the functional spaces around the main courtyard to create circular flow. Because of small courtyards and functional spaces are connected by winding paths and zig-zag walls.
- Research
- The project was designed by UCGD, commissioned by VANKE. And this is VANKE’s first project to implement the standardized module design. The design of the building focuses on making a positive contribution to the surroundings.Because of the narrow site, the project was to create natural surroundings of the building and keep connection in-between. Due to referencing Chinese garden, the walls give the project its own character, which not only lowed the impact of messy environment, but also create many winding paths and framed beautiful spaces.
