Text description provided by the architects
The project is located in Baiyun District, Guiyang City, adjacent to Changpoling Forest Park. The site is only 300 meters away with rich and high-quality landscape resources. At the initial survey of the site, the primitive pine forest naturally growing on the east side of the site provides a quiet and quaint environment that hides the impetuous urban chaos. The entrance of the project is placed on the side of the pine forest and extends to the east, using the forest as the main body and the mountain threshold as the carrier to interpret the natural vocabulary with modern techniques. The design refines mountains, forests, light, and shadows. Hundreds of ancient trees and terrain were completely preserved on the site. We used a simple design language to draw a road leading to the mountain forest. The plank road was raised to meet a height difference of 5. 3 meters to have a better vision to feel the breath of nature. At the end of the forest is a reception space, extruding through the dense forest and guiding people’s eyes to the distance. The off-white tree ponds, seats, and paving gleam in the sunlight, as if the residual temperature of the mountain forest. The metasequoia forest is in front of the rest space. The curved wall of the forest divides the site into two parts, highland, and lowland. The raised shallow hills limit visual accessibility to hide the forest doge and live with nature. We have simplified the numerous karst landform elements distributed on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to give the texture of the curved surface to respect the local geological culture. The undulating shape of the curved surface and the extended texture jointly guide visitors to the route of returning home. Climbing up the forest path, the valley gradually shows up. The front field of the sales office is transformed into a small wetland. The trickle streams surround the forest hut, slowly flowing out from both sides and enriching the sounds of the quiet scene. The back courtyard is our interpretation of the living conditions. Take a nap under the forest and feel the lazy leisure time. Play with the children on the sunny lawn and embrace the family. The reverie of the life scene extends here, giving a glimpse of the future life.
