-the counter-slope space above the roof offers the feeling of living in a micro-valley

-The non-structural enclosure and partition walls were also coated with refurbished recycled timber

-biophilic design

-Moreover, all the “valleys” bottom on the roof was covered with slightly undulating soil and low-maintenance planted miscanthus and shrubs. For the purpose of environment integration and sustainable recycling in the future, all the pitched roofs trimmed with titanium-zinc sheets were covered with indigenous reed straw reaped and processed under the supervision of local experienced reed weavers.

-Considering that weather-proof and maintenance of this facility are quite challenging work in high humidity and salinity conditions, the light steel or wooden structure was abandoned in our design.

-expensive construction method

-heavy weight structure

-the veranda of the new structure has the space firstly pressing down and then lifting up, creating the feeling of openness to the environment.

-this special linear pattern of space organization has brought unique indoor experience between in-position view and in-motion view.

-while walking through different space units, with the rhythm of variation in height and light

-In order to expose the crudeness from the concrete structure in wetland, long pine timber formworks were used in the as-cast-finish concrete construction to obtain natural wood texture.

-The non-structural enclosure and partition walls were also coated with refurbished recycled timber formworks to unify the material expression.

-The trestle bridge and the water platform were paved with precast concrete battens with cracks left between each other, which not only enhanced the feeling of walking over water but also made room for reed growth.
