Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Compared with building a landmark building, architects pay more attention to how to build a place that integrates with nature; This is different from traditional service-oriented buildings. Architects provide an open space where leisure or business activities can occur naturally; Different from the hard and cold image of concrete materials, they explored the softness of concrete materials in this project.
- Inspiration
- The base is surrounded by mountains and there is a lake below. How to provide a container for viewing beautiful scenery becomes the inspiration of this case; The sea waves blown by the wind are abstractly solidified into continuous mountains. Mountain Sea Wind Hall is a purposely cut frozen fragment. The view from the inside of the project is also a purposely cut landscape. This is a container for viewing, a continuous space, providing shelter for people's body, spirit and vision.
- Research
- The project is located in an area with rich landscape resources. The design is based on the site and makes full use of the site resources to create a container for viewing. Mountain Sea Wind Hall integrates natural elements such as "Mountain and Sea Wind" into the architectural design, and the building itself is also a human landscape with beautiful curves.
- Challenge
- The difficulty of the project is how to integrate the rich landscape resources around the site into the building, make it a beautiful viewing container,provide people with a rest space, and also make itself a landscape.
- Realization and Technology
- Mountain Sea Wind Hall adopts concrete shell structure; The thickness of the shell is 200 mm, and the gradual thickness of 200-500 mm is used locally. The project is an irregular curved structure, which is different from the conventional shell structure, and is between the flat plate and the arch shell; The area connected with the foundation is three corners&the middle area of one side,and the contact range is small, which brings some challenges to the structural design; Three tree-shaped steel columns are added in the area with large overhang and span height, adding a second line of defense for the stability of the overall structure.
- Operation and Interaction
- With concrete as the main material, Mountain Sea Wind Hall has a snack bar, a beverage table, a bathroom, and a rest step. It is a functional viewing space. The landscape seen from the inside of the "Mountain Sea Wind Hall" is a deliberately cut landscape. It is a container for viewing and a continuous space, providing shelter for people's body, spirit and vision.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in 2020 and finished in 2022 in Huizhou City, Guangdong Province, China.
- Specifications
- Total land area: 714m2 Total construction area: 540m2 Volume rate: 0.76 Building height: 4m Number of floors: 1
