Nestled within the historical district of Yantai Mountain, Fuzhou and bordered by 1200 meters of the Minjiang River - the project is at the crossroads of cultural exchanges and historical architecture, which gives the site a unique aura.

The site is located at the easternmost side of the plot, with a 10-meter elevation change on the north south axis. There are also two historical buildings preserved, which make the shape of the site irregular. Facing Yantai Mountain Park in the south, our design revolves around creating an extension of the historical laneways and greenways from the larger urban context. The building volumes are carefully manipulated with respect to the elevation changes and to not overpower the existing buildings. A unified design language is kept throughout the project - to create harmony within the context.

We looked to the past, and reimagined the design for the future. The historical blocks are tastefully rearranged to breathe life into the area.
