Tags: Suzhou, Sales Center, Neo-Chinese, Garden, Delicate, Calm
Production Technology: The structure system is mainly developed by reinforced concrete frames and steel structures. Due to the long overhang of partial areas and light roof, the steel structure can better satisfy the design requirements. The main walls are made of glass and stone, using the installation method of dry hanging. The roofing adopts the steel keel clad in zinc and manganese with its color the same as that of traditional tiles for a perfect consistency of material and form.
Design Challenge: The project serves as a supporting service facility in the residential area. Before the delivery of residences, it is used as the sales center. Therefore, the most challenging part of the project is the conflicts among the planes and elevations caused by different functions before and after the delivery.
Research: Based on the identification of Suzhou Culture and respect the site, the design team had consulted many times with Party A during the preliminary study of the project. The team put forward various design ideas on reflecting the regionalism with Chinese features, and eventually determined to interpret traditional space and form by modern materials.
Inspiration: Suzhou is one of the famous historical and cultural cities and a vital cradle of Wu Culture in China. It's renowned as a "heaven on earth". Classical gardens of Suzhou are the representative of Chinese private gardens. The project is sited in Taihu New Town. The architects hoped to use innovative techniques to embody the essence of classic gardens in a modern environment, making it a practitioner that returns culture to tradition, creates elegance from art and produces a poetic flavor from life.
Project Duration: Timetable: 2019.08-2019.12
Location: Wuzhong District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China
Operation Flow: Based on the previous research and study on the site and the client's actual needs on the overall project, a comprehensive design concept is gradually developed. Furthermore, given its location in Taihu New City that boasts a long history and rich culture, the project is built as an innovative example of a neo-Chinese style that mixes modernity and tradition.
