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.

VISITOR CENTER BY HHD_FUN ARCHITECTS

Visitor Center was located on the North part of the 2km long Shanhaitian beach park in Rizhao, east China. 

Designed by beijing-based HHD_FUN Vistor Center is adjacent to a plaza which will attract massive tourists during the high season. The Vistor Center consists of two floors.

The form of the building above ground was minimized in order to fit into the natrual environment while at the same time the underground part of the building offers various functions for the park.

For instance, shops, cinemas, resturants, leisure facilities, public showerrooms etc.

Pedestrains will mainly enter the plaza from the east side, either through 3 open stairs into the building or 4 different pathways towards the sea.

All 19 individual buildings were developed out of one prototype. Each building is site specific; being varies in sizes and different orientations to accommodate different function requirements.

Together a group of them generate a new configuration that has the emphasis on the varieties of the indoor and outdoor spaces.

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

Parametric design technique has been adopted throughout all design process i.e. form finding, structure optimization, facade penalization and construction documentation.
