CHONGQING GREENLAND CLUBHOUSE BY PURE DESIGN

As feature of Chongqing traditional residence, pitched roof is considered into building design.

The building just like a boat setting sail while the sight from hillside and a delicate jewel box when the sight from the river. The widely space inside also with nice view.

The building with grand and attractive appearance will lead customer into delight psychological experience between active and quite.

The interior design is very clear, exhibition area is designed on the first floor, offices are arranged on the basement, with a good organization of function system make circulation more reasonable.

Hipped-plate roof with mountain shape of commercial club house can harmonize with terrain surround.

There will be different view scenic and interesting while people walk around the building space.

SKY COURTS BY HOWELER + YOON ARCHITECTURE

Sky Courts is a 20,000 sqf corporate club house that incorporate short-term housing, office space, and entertainment facilities utilizing the logics of the courtyard and sloped roof.

The project packs several courtyards into a defined perimeter and utilizes the sloped roof to accommodate program in the wedge between courtyards, allowing the project to read as 100% courtyard from above.

The complex lacks a single center; instead it is a network with multiple centers, and multiple paths, edges and liners.

The sequence through these precincts creates a series of layered spaces that line exterior spaces, and views from one courtyard might look through perimeter spaces and into other courtyards.

The layering of interiors and exteriors creates a varied sequence through the complex. The roof geometry consists of a series of inward sloping roofs.

The roof profile varies to create the impression of a landscape of peaks and valleys. The alternating inclinations of the major ridge lines produce a varied roofscape and cause the roof planes to twist.

By maintaining a constant eave line and varying the perimeter, each plane on the roof is a hyperbolic ruled surface.

The use of a ceramic tile uses the gap between units as well as the fine grain of the tile, to absorb the non planar roof condition.

The ceramic tile, with a built in capacity to absorb tolerance between units aggregates to produce a twisting roofscape configuration.

The project exploits a specific building material to achieve a larger geometrical effect.

LANQIAO CLUBHOUSE BY HHD_FUN ARCHITECTS

The project is part of a series of intervents that HHD_FUN’s architects realised  at Shanhaitian beach park in Rizhao, in a 2km long beach.

Alongside the beach, the key feature of this park is its 50 year old black pine forest and the design challenges are to minimize the construction impact to the natural environment.

As a result, the building was pushed towards the sea to preserve the forest and the form of the building was minimized in order to fit into their natural environment while at the same time to gain the best vista.

This steel structure was erected closer to the sea with a low-profile wave-like footprint that grows out of the sand.

The swimming pool was strategically positioned in the buffer zone in-between the building and the beach which provide fantastic view to its guests.

Special steel structure was designed to fit the complex building from at the same time create big span column free space.

The building contains a café, saunas and an outdoor swimming pool within an area of 1150 square meters under a green roof that extends the landscape.

Parametric design technique has been adopted throughout all design process i.e. form finding, structure optimization, facade penalization and construction documentation, which make sure the complex shape can be “made” by local low technology manufacturer. 

“Low Technology Parametric Design” is our strategy to face China’s current construction situation.

HAESLEY NINE BRIDGES GOLF CLUBHOUSE BY SHIGERU BAN

The Nine Bridges Country Club si trova a suddi Seoul, a circa un'ora di macchina,è campo da golf con 18 buche che adotta soluzioni innovative sia per quanto riguarda la realizzazione dei green che per la struttura della club house.

Un sistema agronomico studiato per climi tropicali che facilita l’eccesso di acqua dal manto erboso su cui si staglia una club house con una struttura ecologica e ventilata che si ispira ai tradizionali cuscini estivi coreani chiamati “moglie del bambù” (bambù wife), che risalgono alle colonne usate dai commercianti olandesi che trascorrevano lunghi periodi lontani dalle loro mogli.

È un cuscino di bambù intrecciato a mano che lascia traspirare le brezze rinfrescanti della notte, oggi quasi in disuso per l’uso sostitutivo dell’aria condizionata, un elemento della tradizione locale che diviene elemento strutturale innovativo con una copertura che misura 36x72 metri realizzata in legno a maglia esagonale.

La Club House diviene così un edificio aperto penetrato dalla luce naturale e nello stesso tempo con la sua trasparenza ed eleganza colora i tre piani dove si trovano la reception, i saloni per i membri del club, la sala per le feste, la hall VIP e le suite private, mentre al piano interrato, realizzato con un podio di pietra, sono ospitati spogliatoi, bagni e aree di servizio.

La realizzazione della costruzione sfrutta appieno le potenzialità offerte dalle avanzate tecnologie di lavorazione del legno con sistemi computerizzati di calcolo, disegno e taglio, riuscendo ad ottenere una configurazione che riduce al minimo la quantità di legname necessario per la struttura, semplificando inoltre il processo di assemblaggio dei componenti modulari che sono conformati alle disposizioni legislative coreane che non consentonoedifici in legno a superare i 6 000 metri quadrati.

Questo progetto fornisce un reale contributo per lo sviluppo di un nuovo impiego del legno in edilizia; il sistema costruttivo risolve in maniera integrata i molteplici aspetti funzionali richiesti, assolvendo al contempo a compiti di carattere statico, architettonico ed impiantistico con un attento un’attenta analisi dei riferimenti della tradizione costruttiva locale, richiamando alcuni aspetti dell’architettura vernacolare locale.
