White Mountain

White Mountain is a community clubhouse in Nanjing, China, with an area of 2000 square meters. The design combines a surface landscape with underground construction. The form is inspired by rolling hills, so the landscape flows down and links the surface with the underground spaces. The solid appearance of the building is reduced, which helps the clubhouse blend into the urban space and keeps the continuity of the urban landscape. GRC, a building material with strong plasticity, shapes the smooth curves of the facade and the landscape installation.

Strait Culture

Strait Culture and Art Center is a cultural complex on the southern bank of the Minjiang River in Fuzhou, China. The center holds a multifunctional theatre, an opera house, a concert hall, an art museum, a film and television center and a central cultural hall. The design is inspired by jasmine, the city flower of Fuzhou. Five main buildings form five white petals, and the Liangcuo River runs between them like a stalk. Ceramics and bamboo, both produced in Fujian, are used for the facades and finishes. The outdoor square, roof platform and waterborne space are open to the public.

Guangming Public Service

Guangming Public Service is a government office and public service building in Shenzhen, China. The building is divided into two blocks with distinct forms.

Two small hills on the site are preserved, which reduces excavation and extends the surrounding green landscape. The plan avoids the enclosed layout that is common in Chinese government buildings. The design follows a green development mode with low impact.
