The project is located at a seaside site on Shenzhou Peninsula in Wanning City, 150 meters from the coastline. The original site has too many complex landscape structures and neglected tropical vegetation, which blocks the visitors’ view and makes it impossible to read the relationship between the man-made structures and the site environment.
This is our first cooperation with the DEDECO brand. Combined with the inherent conditions of the project site selection and brand culture, we positioned the first Wanning project as DEDECO Beach Club. Through the output of space and content, visitors will no longer run around the scenic spots to punch in, but feel the real relaxation and slow rhythm of the island lifestyle. After opening, DEDECO’s hot topic traffic on social media also confirmed the feasibility of the team’s original design.
How to deal with the relationship between the man-made structure and the site environment becomes the starting point of the project. We remove clutter that blocks the view and ensure a clear view between areas of the site. The sea level serves as the backdrop for the pool and stage, and the density of coconut groves does not block the view of the sea. As seen in the original design manuscript, the second floor of the converted bamboo and wood building is an open sunset viewpoint. And the orientation of the building follows the direction of the sunset.
The project adopts a simple architectural language: bamboo, wood, thatch as the main material, combined with the bionic building with “coconut shell roof” of bamboo and wood , perfectly integrated into the island landscape, thus to achieve an natural, original ecology, deurbanization of the scene.
Multi-scene creation: indoor restaurant, swimming pool, coconut forest beach, bamboo and wood architecture. Each area has an independent scene language, avoiding homogenization in tone, material, furniture and other aspects, and forming a rich and diversified overall scene. Compared with traditional swimming pool functions, we hope to enrich the scenario of the pool, increase the stopping point and playability in the pool. The contours of the building and the pool are overlapped to reduce the sense of boundary: the DJ stage and the eaves of the two-story building provide shade areas for the pool. At the same time, the underwater seating, underwater bed and floating booth are set up in the shady area, so that visitors have more hydrophilic experience.
At the intersection of indoor and outdoor, there is a shaded transition area, which is filled with soft light and shadow by filtering the intense natural light with a naturally dropped canvas strip. When the wind rises, one can see the shape of the wind from the swing of the canvas.
