"The project is located within Ensheng Wetland Park atop Wutong Mountain in Yantian District. Here, on one side lies the summit landscape of the Ensheng Wetland with Wutong Mountain, and on the other stretches the seemingly endless seascape of Yantian Port, reminiscent of "mystical mountains beyond the sea," alongside the continuously stacked containers within the port itself. The wonders of nature and human artifice are presented here almost simultaneously."
"The client's brief was clear: this pavilion must offer a view of the sea. This inspired a broader aspiration: to create a "space" where one can enjoy 360-degree panoramic views. Concurrently, we set ourselves a requirement: the presence of the architecture must not disturb the natural ground."
The project sits within Ensheng Wetland Park atop Wutong Mountain in Yantian District. One side opens to the summit landscape of Ensheng Wetland and Wutong Mountain; the other faces the expansive seascape of Yantian Port and its stacked containers. The brief required a pavilion with sea views, which led to the goal of creating a space offering 360-degree panoramic views. The design also required that the architecture not disturb the natural ground, so the structure minimizes its presence and impact on the site. The design responds to the simultaneous presence of natural wonders and industrial port artifice.
