Seongmunan CC Clubhouse / LESS ARCHITECTS

January 16, 2023 Hana Abdel 0

Artificial Topography – How does architecture meet and embrace nature? This was the fundamental question underpinning this project.  To address this, we looked up and around at the natural setting to ensure that whatever the solution, it must not harm the existing topography or the surrounding environment. Our solution was to yield to nature.  We achieved this by situating the architecture behind the existing hill to ensure that the focal point remained with the natural surroundings, with the clubhouse sitting behind. Moreover, the clubhouse’s design was inspired by an effort to restore the landscape and invoke memories of the storied history of the surrounding area and to ensure that the existing topography was preserved.

Guangzhou Julong Bay Exhibition Center / DOMANI

January 15, 2023 Collin Chen 0

The project is located in a traditional industrial area of Guangzhou / on the west bank of the Pearl River. The original buildings were built in the 1950s as granaries (four separate brick buildings, the most important grain storage warehouses in Guangzhou). The interior of the building was renovated by DOMANI, and the renovated space is used as an urban planning exhibition hall and multi-functional activity center. The Jurong Bay City exhibition room is a landmark project that will lead the way in the revitalization of the city’s older districts. The design is based on the concept of ‘restoration of the old as a painting’, which enables the revitalization and organic retention of the old architectural space, as well as the exploration and practice of intervening in the process of contemporary sustainable urban development in China.

Pocheon House / 1990 uao

January 15, 2023 Hana Abdel 0

It must be a village lane, there appearing less and less cars, with small houses located sparsely. Climbing along the low slope, you can see the nearby creek and forest, and also feel the layered bent ridgelines of a large mountain. At the entry of the hill which becomes a little steeper, stand two large rocks like door jambs. At the end of the in-between road, exists the client’s parents’ house. On a low and spacious site of which the client’s mother can take care, this Pocheon project is located. On the day we were invited as the architect of this project into the client’s parent’s house, we looked down through the windows of its living room toward the project site. We imagined: the mother would stand like us by the windows looking down to a new house, remaining worried about her daughter’s couple though they are as old enough as close to retirement. So for this project, we placed the kitchen and the living room to be seen from the windows of the mother’s house. We hoped that she could ease her worry, by seeing together the scene in which her daughter’s house is lit up and rice is cooked in a pot.

Architecture is basically a container of something. I hope they will enjoy not so much the teacup, but the tea. —Yoshio Taniguchi. The project is located in Xiangjian Village, Lin’an, Hangzhou., and served as an important intersection of the Huihang Ancient Trail. At the time, it was a meeting point welcomed by all villagers nearby, and that’s where the name “Xiangjian” come from, meaning to encounter or to meet. CHIN’s Hostel is a “shelter” in the mountain and countryside. She is neither luxurious nor simple, but with details showing the traces of life everywhere. She encourages residents to come out of the city, and go to the countryside to meet nature, explore nature, gather, and make friends…
