In the winter of 2023, Moguang Studio was commissioned to design a public amenities building within a guesthouse complex in Longwanggou Village, Shiyan, Hubei Province. The site, located near the Danjiangkou Reservoir, had been leveled into terraces and parking lots before the architects’ arrival—its natural valley terrain already erased. Like many rural revitalization projects, infrastructure came first, forcing the design to adapt to a pre-shaped landscape and limiting the dialogue between architecture and nature.
Inspiration arose from an unexpected source: the blue metal construction fence stretching across the valley. Its horizontal line, both abstract and industrial, recalled the land art of Christo and Jeanne-Claude. This gesture became the project’s conceptual origin—a linear insertion into the terrain that redefined the man-made horizon and transformed it into a functional spatial corridor linking upper and lower grounds.
Constrained by budget, standard 150mm wood decking was used as formwork for exposed concrete, imprinting the surfaces with a natural grain and rhythm. The building’s composition of horizontal and vertical volumes is punctuated by three light courts, bringing sunlight, sky, and tree shadows into the interior. The central 7.5-meter cubic court connects the café, kitchen, and meeting spaces, turning the interior into a sequence of light, void, and motion.
The structure adopts ribbed concrete slabs for both roof and floor, forming a shell that achieves large column-free spans. A shallow rooftop reflecting pool mirrors the distant reservoir, giving the concrete form a sense of levitation. Cast in a single pour, the building stands as a precise, restrained intervention—bridging landscape and architecture, roughness and refinement, temporality and permanence within a renewed rural setting.
