Qingdao Pingdu Olympic Center

Qingdao Pingdu Olympic Center is a sports complex built in Pingdu, Qingdao, Shandong Province, China. The complex holds a stadium with 15,000 seats, a basketball hall with 7,000 seats and a natatorium with 1,500 seats. The basketball hall and the swimming pool are combined into one building, which reduces the difference in scale between the volumes and saves land for squares and internal roads. Core spaces and auxiliary spaces are separated, so structural spans are shorter and construction is simpler. The plan also supports flexible daily use after events.

Rencent Office Center

Rencent Office Center is an office building on the coast of Qingdao. The building slabs are extended in line with the surrounding shoreline, echoing the terrain and the nearby buildings. Sea view windows are set between the slabs like floating boxes. Facing the city, the facade is treated as a scene frame with a diagonal cut. Only three materials are used: glass, stone and dark metal. A sunken plaza resolves the two story height difference across the site and improves the circulation of the building spaces.

Hotel South Taihu

Hotel South Taihu is a resort hotel built on the east slope of Xiaomei Mountain, facing Taihu Lake. The main public area is arranged in an L shape and steps down with the terrain, following an existing zigzag mountain road. The lobby sits at the highest point of the building and meets the view of the lake through a rimless landscape pool. Guest room buildings are scattered across the hillside on both sides. Deep horizontal cornices, granite and rubble in the tones of Taihu stone help the buildings blend with the mountain forest.

Yueyun Teahouse

Yueyun Teahouse is a community center set between the mountains and the sea in Xiamen. The building form follows the Fibonacci spiral, also known as the golden spiral, and is controlled by the golden ratio. The final shape resembles a conch shell and responds to the coastal setting. A curved full glass curtain wall makes the ground level visually transparent and lets sunlight and air enter. A covered bridge finished in metal panels contrasts with the garden and forms a visual center. About 1000 aluminum plates of different sizes were joined to shape the thin spiral.

A continuous roof of white composite aluminium sheet links the indoor and outdoor areas and offers space for rest. The facade uses tempered hollow glass curtain walls with undulating perforated aluminium sunshades. The sunshades reduce direct sunlight and save energy.
