Shangrao Wang Sanqing Art Settlement

The project is a hotel complex that combines culture, tourism and art, aiming to support rural revitalization. The designers took advantage of countryside environment and inherited cultural genes to create a new country lifestyle. Located in Mount Sanqingshan Scenic Area, the plot is surrounded by water on three sides and enjoys superior ecological environment. It has a gross floor area of about 4,500 square meters, a floor area ratio of 0. 28 and a green space rate of 52%. The design team combined traditional techniques with modern aesthetics to interpret site-responsive ecological architecture and landscape, and to create a retreat where art, life and pastoral living converge. Multiple functions including accommodation, recreation, conference, catering, horticulture and exhibition are configured. Meanwhile, ancient construction approaches and modern technologies were innovatively combined, so as to incorporate the characteristic Jiangnan style into the modern buildings. Three main roads connect those building clusters, each in different style but coexisting in harmony. The overall layout achieved a balance between density and sequence, openness and closure. The oriental language hidden in between spatial scenes brings a progressive aesthetic experience. Water from two existing streams is introduced into the garden to form reflective ponds, one large another small. Many pebbles, collected while digging those ponds, were reused as landscape stones to show respect to nature and to enhance save cost. and protect environment, Adhering to the concept of ecological sustainability, the design team fully considered and solved water storage and skid resistance problems. Automatic drainage system is installed to form an artificial waterfall, and the excess water is discharged into pond on the rooftop to realize recycling and solve the drainage problems of basement. The design and construction process responded to rural context and people-friendly principle. The gardening skills and aesthetics interpret an all age-friendly, new rural living scene. com
