Reception Center for the Qiyun Treehouse Resort 齐云山树屋营地接待中心

Located at the foot of the Qiyun Mountains in Anhui Province, this project serves as the reception center for a treehouse resort and an affiliated restaurant. The project is part of a vast complex, which is still under development with a variety of further houses planed. The design principle was therefore to seek appropriate form within this unique cluster while respecting and highlighting the natural environment, and leaving open the possibility of changes of functional configuration in the future.

项目位于安徽齐云山脚下，为森林树屋度假村的接待中心及餐厅。所在的地块面积广阔，且尚在持续开发中，周边其他建筑风格多样。因此，设计的原则是要在尊重和凸显自然环境的前提下，在这种独特的聚落式建筑网络中寻求适宜的形式，同时作出保留开放性的功能区划分。

The two building-volumes are composed of a series of interlinking units and thereby split into several “granules”, each unit is square in plan and assembled according to the topography. By this means the two buildings subtly integrate into the natural environment, facing each other along the lakeside. The adjacent wooden terraces hold a wonderful view over the lake. The wooden roofs of the units are in the form of tents, suggesting the conceptual theme of the Treehouse Resort. Meanwhile, each unit varies in height and roof slope, echoing the diverse silhouette of trees of different shapes and heights in the forest.

两座建筑由一系列单元体相互交错、嵌套组成。在水平面上，建筑综合体被解构为小巧的颗粒状体量，每一个单元体的平面都呈正方形，根据地形进行单元体的排列组合，柔和、灵巧地将两个功能区融入自然环境，沿湖畔地势临水相望；在纵向上，各个单元体帐篷形态的木制屋顶为“树屋营地”点题，同时，每一单元体都在高度和屋顶坡度上有所变化，呼应着森林中不同形态和高度的树木，形成错落有致的轮廓。毗邻建筑体量的木质露台坐拥湖光山色，提供了开阔的户外活动空间。

Both the façade and the roofs are clad in timber shingles of the same color and texture, emphasizing the form of the volume itself and visually unifying the units, while the striking window and door frames breaking the homogeneousness and continuity of the complex. The ventilation system is concealed behind the shingles, keeping the façade dry and breathable. The towering roofs are “cut off” at the apex so that a skylight is created to provide bright daylight during the day and a view of the starry sky at night. To achieve the special shape of the roof, a unique pyramidal supporting structure was designed specifically for this purpose. This wooden structure is fully integrated into the interior and, together with the skylight, draws the sight upwards and emphasizes the center of the room. The natural slate flooring not only makes a rustic statement, but also leaves a neutral, clean space for the client to create their interior design.

建筑的外墙和屋顶以木瓦覆盖，自然的材质和简洁同质的色彩肌理，突出了体量本身的形态，同时在视觉上将散落的单元体统一起来，仅以醒目的窗框和门框打破综合体的连续性，点明室内和室外景观的区隔。通风系统隐藏于木瓦层后，保持立面干燥透气。高耸的帐篷状屋顶在尖端处被截断，断面缀以天窗，白天为室内提供明亮的天光，夜晚则能从中窥见一片星空。为了实现屋顶的特殊形状，专门为此设计了独特的金字塔式内部支撑结构。这一木制结构完整展现于室内，与天窗一道，以充满视觉趣味的形式营造出纵向跃升的空间感。简洁的石板铺地留出中性、质朴的室内空间，为客户后续自行进行室内装饰设计留出了余地。
