A sensuous stroke of Sapphire Blue,

Hidden within the Red Concrete Cube.

— By Lu Yun, Founder and Lead Architect of MUDA-Architects

✜ Project Brief

Starting from the aim of revitalizing rural cultural construction, the design abstracts the form of a traditional Sichuan veranda and reinterprets it with contemporary aesthetics. It is defined as an iconic building and a multi-functional communal space to explore flexibility and diversification of architectural space combination.

MUDA-Architects sets the scales and dimensions on the site according to the design brief. The core area is then moved to one side of the block so that the double-height semi-enclosed space could be generated with the inspiration of a traditional Sichuan veranda. It meets the interior light demands, highlights local characteristics, and deals with the context of the site effectively.
