The spirit of a place does not mean copying old patterns, but means affirming the identity of the place and interpreting it in a new way. Norberg-Schulz said

The project is the Reception Center of Wujia Village, a rural tourism project initiated by Zhujiayu Flower Sea Cultural Tourism Development Company in Wujia Village, Zhangqiu City, Shandong Province. The project, consisting of three phases, is integrated into the site of the Wujia Village. With this project, we aim to present the value of project needs using a basic model, and we hope that the building can become a local reference with a holistic resonance from inside to outside. Norberg-Schulz said - The spirit of a place does not mean copying old patterns, but means affirming the identity of the place and interpreting it in a new way.


Traditional Translation

The construction area of the first phase is within the scope of a homestead, which allows the design to explore the significance of basic models being grounded. We translate from traditional ancient architecture, dividing the building into two parts - the first floor as a base and the second floor as the symbolic main building. By elevating the roof beam, we define a new relationship between the facade and the roof, forming a recognizable facade language, and a metaphor for the third section of the bucket arch. When thinking about the roof, we did not accept existing limitations - be it the slope, material, or shape. The roof beam draws people's gaze, stirring thoughts about the strangeness of the building.


Dissolution of Volume

Fully utilizing the ground floor area within the limited site helps improve functional efficiency. The recess of the entrance forms a gray space that encourages people to enter. We left a terrace space on both the south and north sides of the second floor, serving as an outdoor viewing platform for the second floor. The two-volume building on the basis of the first floor forms a penetrating and potential facade language in the shadow of the building. Meanwhile, the windows on the second floor, strictly controlled by the gable walls on both sides, form a window overlooking the distance, becoming a part of the facade language.


Resonance Between the Interior and Exterior

It is often challenging to maintain consistency between architecture and interior design. However, when the functions and significance of the interior are clearly defined during the architectural phase, resonance between the interior and exterior emerges. By the time the project was finalized from the planning stage, the interior had already been anticipated for its use, and the relationship between the windows and the building's facade formed the spatial characteristics and language of both the exterior and interior. We hope that some materials can be consistent both inside and outside, presenting a design sense that peels away decoration, allowing one to read the state of the building directly. In the reception area on the first floor, we left some exposed black bricks and glass bricks. Meanwhile, we pared down the stair section into a fine composition, making the spatial experience more delicate.

In the rooms on the second floor, the design of the windows combines ventilation, curtains, aesthetics, and functionality, forming the spatial design language of the interior and maintaining consistency with the exterior facade. This is our preferred design presentation method, surpassing an accumulation of excessive decoration and modeling. The roof beam, when viewed from outside, gives a sense of the internal relationships. Upon entering a room on the second floor, the wooden-colored beams on the interior ceiling also demonstrate their connection and language with the outside.
