In Shanghai's Daning Park, Wutopia Lab raised in record time this lakeside pavilion for the construction firm CSCEC Jiuhe East China Region. The project took off from the clear but difficult idea of keeping two existing buildings intact and without altering the surrounding vegetation, including two trees that abut the facade. The solution adopted was ‘a house within a house,’ giving the buildings new skins, one in metal and the other in ceramic, in a play of modular volumes and reused materials.
