The project is located in Lvliang, Shanxi Province, encompassing the design of a clubhouse and model room functional spaces. The design draws on Lvliang鈥檚 regional cultural context as its foundation, unfolding around the theme of 鈥淣ative Culture.鈥 Through the organic integration of a sunken courtyard, open circulation, and material narratives, it creates a 鈥渦rban mountain retreat鈥 experience within a versatile clubhouse space.
The design employs an 鈥渆nclosure + permeability鈥 approach to revitalize the sunken courtyard, making it the central hub connecting four functional areas: water bar, reading lounge, gym, and swimming pool. The distinctive clubhouse fa莽ade is undoubtedly the most recognizable spatial feature of the project.
Originally, the clubhouse structure was an independent building divided by three floor slabs, lacking spatial continuity and interaction between levels, resulting in an isolated, fragmented vertical structure. The design team, based on the existing structure, partially recessed the floor slabs (termed 鈥渇loor slab setback鈥) near the glass curtain wall facing the sunken courtyard, creating a spatial texture reminiscent of Lvliang鈥檚 undulating mountain forms. This not only evokes visual and emotional associations with the regional landscape, fostering a deeper connection between people and space, but also breaks the spatial constraints caused by traditional floor divisions, enabling visual and circulatory connections between levels.
This treatment creates a fully transparent interface from the sunken courtyard to the interior, resembling a carefully curated 鈥渄isplay window鈥 that seamlessly blends natural scenery with indoor spaces, becoming the project鈥檚 most iconic and memorable spatial scene.
At the clubhouse entrance, a dual floating metal art installation, inspired by the fluidity of liquid metal, mimics the meandering contours of Lvliang鈥檚 mountains. Spotlights highlight the sculpture鈥檚 curved surfaces, casting dynamic light and shadow patterns, enhancing spatial narrative and rhythm.
The swimming pool鈥檚 curved ceiling, shaped like layered waves, echoes Lvliang鈥檚 mountain outlines. Warm light strips embedded in artistic glass grilles refract onto the water, creating a 鈥渇loating mountain shadow鈥 effect through the interplay of structure and reflection.
