East Bay by BOX Studio

The project is located in Zengcheng, Guangzhou, Guangdong, southwest of Zhucun Avenue, east of Fenggang Station, No. 21 Guangzhou Metro. The north side is Foxconn Technology Town, and the southeast side is a high-rise residential area. In the future, the Metro Line 21 Express Line will be opened, and the number of permanent residents will double. Right in front of the site is the Expressway - Zhucun West Avenue. The impression here is that the noise of the construction site, the speed of passing large construction vehicles and the dusty road reveal the uneasiness and impatience from the faces of the fast-moving people. We need to find the beauty of space in a specific environment, based on the poetic interpretation of the architectural field, and combined with the innovation of materials, to create a peaceful experience for the local people...... There were always a lot of problems in the early stage. The shed is adjacent to the experience center, the tower cranes occupy the background planting space, the municipal telecommunications box cannot move, the construction vehicles need to share the customer vehicle passages, etc... How to reduce the impact of the construction site on the experience center? How to present the best scenes in a limited venue? How to distribute the use at a limited cost? The BOX design team conducts repeated discussions and mutual fundraising proposals with the building and the interior. The space uses the form of opening to ensure the external display, with clean body and linear as the main form of expression, and advocates the integration of architecture, landscape and interior. Achieve mutual consensus in "less, it is more". The design elements are integrated into the building, landscape, and interior to create a positive space that blends and symbiosis. The opening lawn sets off the architectural image, and a 12-meter multi-branched hackberry tree serves as the crowning touch of space. The quiet waterscape reflects the building, the water ripples are refraction to give a new texture, and the wall washers enhance the spatial level and body mass. Richard Rogers, a famous British architect, said: "architecture is a container for capturing light, just like how musical instruments capture music, light needs to be displayed. The opening lawn sets off the architectural image, and a 12-meter multi-branched hackberry tree serves as the crowning touch of space. The quiet waterscape reflects the building, the water ripples are refraction to give a new texture, and the wall washers enhance the spatial level and body mass. The ground 1200*300 sesame ash emphasizes the linearity of the ground, combined with the guidance of the sculpture to reach the experience center. A piece of still water, a holly, a wall, a little more quiet, less than a minute. Wall washers, waterside lights, light-transmissive glass, still water surface, light and shadow have become the protagonists of space The translucent wall, still water, tree shadow, and sinking platform are like an elegant picture scroll that runs along the indoor floor glass. Sky, U-glass, declining greening, benches, the space extends to the outside, the light and shadow penetrates into the inside.
