Mountain Dwelling / STUDIO FSJ

Located in the “Ten Crossing” scenic area in Fangshan, Beijing, the project finds itself in one of the most magnificent Karst landscapes in northern China. The site as we found it, was an old farmyard in the middle of the mountain. In this project, confronting the unconquerable nature as well as the individual’s need for shelter, we tried to transform the outside world into part of the body’s “digging”. This is our imagination of living in mountains in northern China.

New Japanese Style = Roof that is Continuous Like a Strap – The site is in the eastern hills away from the center of Mito City. It was developed by clearing a wooded area and filling in a valley. As a result of the search to avoid different types of foundation structures and to use direct foundations, a strap-like shape emerged, which defined the building’s layout and external form. The purpose of this facility was to provide a place for relaxation and recreation to ease the psychological burden on residents caused by the nearby waste incineration plant and the crematorium to be built in the future. The main functions of the facility are a sports practice area, including a gym room and a multipurpose room, an indoor swimming pool, and a public bathhouse. These functions are allocated within an outline defined by the land conditions.

The project for the temporary pavilion commissioned by the Naomi Milgrom Foundation in Queen Victoria Gardens explores the condition of an architectural device as a powerful attractor and display of the creative and dynamic quality of the city of Melbourne, as previous editions have fully demonstrated.
