Based on the analysis of the project’s location and regional context, the architects needed to create an atmosphere that fits the characteristics of the site.
The Art Center is divided into two parts, an art center with the theme of art and nature and the Rock Park themed on sports, which are arranged opposite each other on two sides of the site at a street corner. The iconic roof contours convey a strong sense of territory and evokes the viewers’ curiosity.
Maximizing a 4,100 square meter space, much of the design is underground to harmonize with neighboring villas. The L-shaped building’s roof, inspired by Helan Mountain and traditional designs, gracefully interacts with the surrounding waterscape. A contrasting translucent glass lighthouse at the entrance signals a structural intervention to the site.
