tsushima design studio blends changsha vanke club into chinese forest
created by tsushima design studio and located by the side of a thousand-year-old camphor woods at the edge of the xiang river in china, the ‘changsha vanke club’ respects, complements and merges with the forest landscape.
the main design objective was to capture the mesmerizing scenery, leading to a clean cantilever box that sits on top of a green hill, overlooking the river.
when entering the marketing center, the visitors are greeted with an unobstructed view of the forest and river. the sunlight, descending through the 11m-high atrium, floods the space, passing through the glass curtain wall into the lower ground rooms. unlike conventional showrooms, the interior design reflects more than the product that is going to be sold by connecting the inside with its surroundings. this gives the buyers a complete picture of what they are going to purchase: a living space that is linked to the environment.
