The Ruyi Veranda & Swimming Pool
PrizeHonorable Mention in Architectural Design / Recreational Architecture
Firm LocationShenzhen , China
CompanyiDEA
Lead ArchitectYan Gao
We challenged the client’s original brief to build three traditional types, instead we hybridised the three types into one continuous structural entity, blended into the context. With a tight budget and limited schedule, the project had to be designed in such a way that the contractor can build it easily. We applied tangential arcs for their geometric merit in modular manufacture for cost-effectiveness. A set of curve trajectories spin off the pool into a veranda, an inhabitable bridge, and finally a pocket park, generating multiple surfaces with various carpentry structural forms.
