About Blue Bay Residential 住宅综合体

蓝湾住宅是位于海南陵水的一处住宅综合体项目。项目用地面积5.2万平方米，建筑面积2.5万平方米，共122户。布局延续了当地围绕庭院散点式、通透性民居的传统。由门厅、庭院、堂屋与廊道构成的空间序列，形成南北贯通的气流通道，实现自然通风。预制坡屋顶配以600毫米与1800毫米出檐，兼顾遮阳与私密性。水平线条将建筑与周边景观融为一体。

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: The local hot and rainy climate has formed conventional architectural methods like courtyard, cold alley and deep eave, which inspire the design to break through the blocking up of traditional architectures and to integrate architecture with nature. The overall composition of the building dominated by horizontal lines and strips, is stretchy and stable, forming a romantic rural style, an environmental coincidence and a metaphor with the spacious golf course and the unfolded South China Sea.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project covers a total land area of 52,000 sqm and a total construction area of 25,000 sqm, with 122 designed households. By the combination strategy of horizontal growth and mutual overlap has cleverly solved the two problems of land capacity and the interface between architecture and nature.

Production Technology: The tropical monsoon climate and long sunshine duration require better shading and ventilation conditions. In the project, the eaves of the same house are 600mm and the different houses are 1800mm, the prefabricated slope roof system is thus formed not only ensures the shading needs but also the privacy needs between the upper and lower units. A space sequence composed of lobby-courtyard-hall-corridor creates a complete north-south air passage to adjust the overall wind environment.
Design Challenge: Against the regular residential determinant texture and homogenized architectural style promoted by urbanization development, this project responds to nature in a form of continuous and porous space and stretchy and futuristic formal language, so as to create a new living experience that responds to the local climate and traditional living habits, strives to explore a new architectural model at the junction of city and nature, and seeks the possibility of life different from urban experience.
Research: The conceptual origin and the underlying design logic is drawn from the investigation and study of the local traditional residences: in the macroscopic layout of villages, there are often large-scale squares; in the mesoscopic organization of groups, they are often staggered with each other, leaving out the front and back field space and air channels; in the microscopic architectural distribution, functional blocks are scattered and connected through the corridors.
Inspiration: Derived from blurred boundaries in traditional Hainan residential pattern known as living scattered and porous and adjacent to the yard, the plane organization is combined in the shape of Hui (a Chinese character with an enclosing shape), the living rooms are arranged around the courtyard, and the scattered porous layout is in line with the hot and windy climate. Meanwhile the double first floor concept breaks the spatial certainty between the inside and the outside at different elevations.
Project Duration: The design of the project began in September 2020, the construction began in June 2021 in Lingshui, Hainan and is expected to be completed in December 2023.
Operation Flow: This case tries to combine the living pattern in the traditional folk houses with the modern green architecture design methods, and finally to explore a new dialogue between the city and the countryside in the regional and contemporary context.
