Sino-Ocean Land Hanyang Guiyuan Temple Sales Center

Through drawing inspirations from the local culture and the Buddhist architecture, Waterfrom Design created a ‘sloping rooftop’ for the new building, which seems to fly above the land and well integrate with the local context. Black and gray steel bars form the spine of the rooftop, stretching and undulating like rolling mountains. Combined with the wide pool on the ground, a visual image of landscape painting is in sight. Transparent glass curtain wall interacts with reflections of clouds and lights in the water, creating a fascinating view and bringing spiritual peace of ‘A breeze produces no ripples’. The curves of the facade are also utilized in the spatial arrangement. Take the design at the entrance for example. Its curved circulation line borrows the form of Moon Lake, a famous local scenic spot. In VIP area, the two curved walls look like sculptures, enriching the space with artistic beauty. The new building exists as a landmark that blends into the urban fabric. Combining deconstruction skill with oriental imagery, Waterfrom Design achieved a balance between historical community protection and commercial real estate development.
