Project idea

New schwangau is located under the Alps. Abundant natural resources and tourism resources are the biggest advantages here. But at the same time, there are also many social structural problems. Therefore, this design is a small urban planning design that combines the local cultural background, social structure issues and natural landscape. It is mainly for the environmental planning derived from the young generation returning to their hometown or staying in their hometown for development. We look forward to changing the status quo through architecture and urban planning.

Project description

Design of the building is mainly inspired by the rolling peaks of the Alps. Continuous irregular pitched roofs form multiple living units. On the ground floor of the building are mainly commercial and office areas. Combined with large floor-to-ceiling windows, the entire area has high light transmission. Above the second floor is the living space and the building body is connected by wooden bridges to achieve variable circulation and flexible open space. The exterior wall of the building is made of slender wooden grilles and a large number of plants are attached. Therefore, the effect of light blocking and green façade is achieved.

The design concept in the landscape incorporates curving flowerbeds and meadows. Try to integrate all areas with nature. Decorate the area with “water” and add different natural elements. Create opportunities in people’s lives to interact with the environment. Balancing and communicating between living conditions and natural ecology is what we expect throughout the region.

Technical information

The building structure is mainly CLT and wood structure. The facade of the building uses a wooden grille with vines and vertical greening to block the outdoor light and distinguish the space
