The project is located in a new cultural industry park in Yunlong Town, which is transformed from a local village. The park retains the original layout of the village, and the old houses are reconstructed into white commercial spaces with courtyards by each. The pink-colored Chuanli (chillin’ park) stands out among the white buildings. It has brought increasing popularity to the cultural park, integrating the concepts of art, life, and aesthetics into the countryside and changing the local artistic ecology by its unique charms. Chuanli (chillin’ park) has becoming a gathering point for communication between urban and rural areas, and promoting the development of cultural industry in the new rural construction.

CHILLIN · Dian Jiang Chun
Chillin park’s first impression is akin to the tenderness of cherry blossoms, marked by a harmonious color scheme that plays with light and shadow. Its facade, crafted entirely from Dian Jiang Chun micro-cement, along with the walkways made of the same material, handcrafted bricks, and surrounding nature, creates an elegant, rustic charm. The entrance features a preserved metasequoia, integrating the building within crisp architectural lines. This design weaves historical trees (metasequoia, pomegranate) into its rolling geometric form. Amidst hues of red, these trees stand out with their lush green, bridging nature with modern aesthetics in a unified design narrative.
CHILLIN · XinHeYe
This oasis, shielded from the cacophony of urban life, traffic, and city scents, is a sanctuary for tea and fruit enjoyment. It offers a modern twist on the classic tea room, where one can lounge, stroll, and savor fruits. The design thoughtfully considers the environment’s impact on emotions, employing seasonal teas and delicacies that engage both touch and sight to harmonize with the rhythm of the seasons and explore a boundless spiritual realm.
The structure, a lattice of columns and beams, heavily employs natural materials to cultivate an atmosphere of untouched beauty, offering an authentic and unadulterated spatial experience. Ceilings and walls are adorned with nature-inspired artistic finishes, creating a textured dialogue with the interiors. The tea room’s windows and doors, crafted from pineapple grid wood, cast dancing patterns of light and shadow on the floor when kissed by sunlight.
The entrance garden, a verdant tapestry of herbs, links the tea room’s elongated passageway, indoor spaces, and ascending stairs. Carefully shaped bluestone slabs carve out essential walkways, resonating with the area’s age-old stonework and honoring the site’s cultural heritage.
Venturing through the slender passageway, one emerges into a space that generously embraces the outdoors, merging the wild beauty of fields and rivers with the serene garden. Each area fluidly connects through courtyards and terraces, maximizing the site’s inherent visual and sensory gifts.
