Set along a sloping, winding road at a site where dense bamboo woodland meets towering Metasequoia forest, the Wuxiang Mountain Qiu Hu Station is both the park’s office space and a jumping point for tourists to explore the surrounding wildlife. Mix Architecture worked within a limited budget to create this subtle but impressive courtyard building, dividing its program into two L-shaped parts. The transition of the slowing roof into interlaced and twisted into eaves in the inner courtyards is impressive. In a similar move, confounding structural roles, the folded roofs are staggered, gradually rising and falling alongside the walls to share the role of organizing the space with the various landscape platforms.
