- Unique Properties
- The front area of the project is the eastern freehand brushwork style leisure courtyard which linked the western part by the corridor to be the leisure functional place, presenting coffee shop, book bar, exhibition hall, office, meeting and other functions to meet the comprehensive supporting services of daily leisure functions; while the southeast is the leisure park with lake, which separates the experience space from the nearby park and traffic flow line of sight.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Design area:
Building: 4522 square meters.
Landscape: 39478 square meters. - Tags
- Leisure, Complex, humanistic and spiritual care, traditional Chinese garden pattern, freehand brushwork
- Production Technology
- The project is aimed at preserving health of people. The design continues the root idea of traditional oriental freehand brushwork, expressing feelings for mountains and rivers to stretch the body and mind. It also strengthens the experience of physical and mental sense of living environment between people and scenes. The overall layout refers to the traditional Chinese garden pattern of vestibule and backyard, and realizes the visual sense of landscape step by step.
- Design Challenge
- In the design process, the main challenges faced by designers are as follows:
1. Site construction according to local conditions. At the beginning of the project development, it is a place where the soil is piled up in the region, and the ecological environment is relatively poor.
2. Construction of gardens in North China. The winter climate in northern China is relatively cold, and it is difficult to maintain the green plants, where the green landscape will be gloomy. - Research
- The original site of the project was initially planned as the production base of personal care products. As a functional building in the industrial park, it conforms to the standard of the use efficiency of its commercial value; and this is also the result of the construction of the conventional industrial park. However, in this project the purpose and function requirements of humanistic care for employees are introduced, and a leisure complex center with low building density is presented.
- Inspiration
- The design concept comes up with the interpretation of Chinese traditional "simple but elegant", which forms different courtyard spaces with simple and unadorned white walls. With the expression of oriental plain and elegant space, the concept of "left blank" in oriental freehand brushwork is created to leave more reverie space for the experience of living space.
- Project Duration
- The project is completed in 2020 and is located in Weihai City, Shandong Province.
- Operation Flow
- The vestibule buildings are connected in series through different corridors, and the design of mirror steel plate on the top of the corridor reflects the surrounding landscape environment and integrates with it; the footpath of undulating backyard landscape is used to connect with the viewer to bring the moving and comfortable experience to them.
