About Taizhou Mansion Commercial Architecture
Taizhou Mansion is a commercial building located in an old town area of Taizhou, China. The design references the traditional Chinese garden. Zigzag walls and winding paths separate the site from the noisy surroundings and frame selected views. A main courtyard is placed at the center, and the functional spaces are arranged around the courtyard to form a circular route. Smaller courtyards are linked by the winding paths. White sandstone, metallic aluminium sheet, glass and metal grids are used. Standardized module design is applied throughout.
