The project base is located in the underground space.The project aimed to reactivate the public space around the community, transforming and redefining the previous residential conditions of the location. Our biggest challenge:One is how to solve the problem of underground lighting and poor landscape, and the other is how to guide people from the ground to the underground club space.
Design Strategy
The strategy applied in this project is to combine the surficial landscape space and the underground construction, integrating the concept of mountain shapes to create a landscape -style building. In this way, the building’s perception of solidity will be weakened to fully integrate into the urban space. It also reduces the interference of the building to the urban environment and maintains the continuity of the urban landscape space.
Design Inspiration
The project base is surrounded by mountains, with natural landscape resources such as Zijin Mountain and Hongshan Forest Zoo. The designer, inspired by the shape of the rolling hills, creates the surficial landscape which extends down to the visual surface of the building. It connects the surficial and underground space. The petal-shaped landscape staircase leads people into the main functional space of the building.
Social Impact
Indoor settings include: Activity Centre for Kids, Reading Room, Indoor Swimming Pool, Gym, Private Banquet Hall, Coffee bar and other activity areas. For the existence of both outdoor landscape and the indoor space, even though it is relatively limited, people can interact actively in this open and flowing space. We hope that the community centre, as a place for exchanges and gatherings, can promote family relationships and neighbourhood relationships, and become a city node that stimulates public energy.
