Other Projects by 过半儿 guò bàn er
Seashore Restaurant Shen Chong
Hainan, China
Introduction
After completing the loop on the new Hainan circular road in an RV over 10 days, we noticed a significant lack of places that truly allow people to connect with the island's stunning natural environment. Located a two-hour drive west of Haikou on the tropical island of Hainan, China, the partially abandoned fishing village of Sheng Chong is poised for revitalization into a boutique hotel and beach destination.
Our project aims to address this gap by designing a series of architectural interventions that harmonize with the existing landscape rather than overpower it. These interventions are set to transform how people experience this section of the lava coastline, creating destinations that foster meaningful connections between visitors and the seashore.
Our proposal seeks to establish a new type of vernacular architecture for Sheng Chong village, with the goal of reconnecting people to their natural surroundings. This project will introduce new functions at an appropriate scale, offering a unique and authentic experience that revitalizes a long-abandoned location. By transforming this fishing village, traditionally associated with hardship, into a space of leisure and community, we will establish Sheng Chong as a distinctive destination. This approach not only enhances the existing natural environment but also promotes sustainable growth that supports commercial success. Ultimately, this initiative aims to cultivate a new culture for this coastal region.
The Restaurant Ensemble
The new restaurant complex features two buildings connected by an elevated walkway. These buildings are designed to embrace the outdoor setting, reflecting the beach environment. They offer a unique al fresco dining experience by creating a pleasant microclimate with louvered façades and ceiling fans. While we celebrate open-air dining, the folding glass façades allow the restaurants to function as climate-controlled spaces during adverse weather. The ground-floor terraces have been raised to safeguard the building from stormy high tides. The central idea is to provide a "pier-to-plate" experience for guests. The restaurants' close proximity to the seashore enables guests to see local fishermen delivering the day's fresh catch directly to the kitchen.
These permeable buildings showcase the scenic beauty of Shen Chong’s coastline. We designed the restaurants to resemble a spacious outdoor terrace, with additional balconies on the second floor. A spiraling staircase leads up to a rooftop terrace. The lamella lattice structure extends well beyond the building, providing shade for both the rooftop terrace and the balconies. Meanwhile, the sea breeze creates a natural cooling draft, ensuring a comfortable microclimate for guests.
Tourist Attractions
The restaurant ensemble and the café together form a new symbol of the village's revitalization. By thoughtfully positioning these three buildings at an appropriate scale, we aim to encourage visitors to explore and appreciate the rugged beauty of the lava coast in new ways. With our restaurants and cafés, we aim to create a destination along the circular road that stands out for providing accessible and meaningful outdoor experiences to promote tourism in this region.
