The Design

About Tianqingli Residential Bostadskomplex

Tianqingli Bostadsområde är ett bostadskluster beläget på norra sidan av Shangtangfloden i Hangzhou, Kina. Designen tillämpar Song-stilens arkitektur genom ett enkelt modernt formspråk, vilket bevarar de traditionella formernas läsbarhet. Trettiotvå hushåll är arrangerade på en tomt om 17900 kvadratmeter. Flera gårdar och gränder länkar samman bostäderna med de omgivande kullarna och vattnet, vilket balanserar öppenhet med avskildhet. Ett gardinfasadsystem som kombinerar aluminiumlegering och trä stödjer det traditionella utseendet samtidigt som det kontrollerar kostnad och byggtid.

Research: Since the Song Dynasty, JIE-DRAWING (to draw with a ruler and to obtain the clear boundary) had become a technique of Chinese painting. Compared with other kinds of painting, it requires to accurately and carefully reproduce the painted objects. Therefore, JIE-DRAWING has scientifically recorded the ancient buildings, urban features and living scenes of Song dynasty. Therefore, it is an important way to obtain the basis of design from the Song calligraphy and Song paintings.
Inspiration: This project creates the spatial pattern of multi-sided landscape and multiple courtyards, forming a direct dialogue between architecture and nature. The courtyard presents a natural openness while giving consideration to privacy. The project classifies the courtyards with the traditional Chinese garden landscape borrowing approach, thus the sequence between the private and public courtyards is more variable, which is closer to be in line with the contemporary aesthetic needs.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2018 and finished in October 2021 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.
