Yueyun Teahouse is a community center set between the mountains and the sea in Xiamen. The building form follows the Fibonacci spiral, also known as the golden spiral, and is controlled by the golden ratio. The final shape resembles a conch shell and responds to the coastal setting. A curved full glass curtain wall makes the ground level visually transparent and lets sunlight and air enter. A covered bridge finished in metal panels contrasts with the garden and forms a visual center. About 1000 aluminum plates of different sizes were joined to shape the thin spiral.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Relying on the Fibonacci spiral line, architect have used modern techniques to create an orderly architectural form, which constitutes the spatial skeleton of the project, and completes the introduction, circulation, and integration of external space. The entire form is strictly controlled in accordance with the golden ratio, achieving perceptual beauty under rational constraints, and returning to natural rhythms and rhythms in large-scale industrialized communities.
- Inspiration
- The project lies on the mountain and the sea.Architect don't want the building become the implanter of nature, how to make the building hide between the mountains and the sea is the goal in design. Affected by the unique geographical location and environmental conditions, the building's overall shape inspiration is drawn from the Fibonacci spiral line, also known as the golden spiral.The Fibonacci spiral line is the materialized representation of the most perfect golden ratio in nature.
- Research
- The project use purely rational design techniques to achieve the beauty of order under the natural perception. The final shape of the building resembles the shape of a conch, responding to the most primitive coastal environment of the project. As a community center, Yueyun Teahouse allows residents to listen to the sound of the sea in this seaside snail shell, sit and watch the clouds rise, and feel the wonderful gift of nature.
- Challenge
- The project want to make the helix as thin as possible. And when the spiral falls to the ground, it has a complicated relationship with some of the surrounding projects. The calculation of the steel structure and the split joints of all the aluminum plates, including the shape, were simulated in the full mold. 1000 aluminum plates of different specifications were spliced together in the whole building, and the beam position was precisely controlled to achieve the final effect.
- Realization and Technology
- Steel frame and aluminum, plate decoration, curved glass curtain wall, stone curtain wall.
- Operation and Interaction
- The ground building adopts a curved full glass curtain wall to achieve visual transparency, while also allowing sunlight and air to penetrate into the building and be integrated with nature. The covered bridge adopts the form of metal panels to form a huge contrast with the surrounding environment, stand out in the natural garden and become the visual center.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in 2018 in Xiamen and finished in 2021.
- Specifications
- The total land area:980 Square meter; The total construction area:1099 Square meter; Building height:7M; Number of floors: 1 floor above ground / 1 floor underground
