GLORY OF GALAXY

About The Entry

The project is located in the core area of Wuzhong District, Suzhou City, with the west side adjacent to the branch of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the south side facing Dongwu Sky Street across the road. It inherits the essence of Suzhou gardens, where scenery changes with every step, and recreates an ideal space of "urban mountains and forests" that is close to nature while being in the bustling city.

The entire building combines the underground clubhouse as an exhibition hall, with a symmetrical but not directly facing entrance gray space, a transparent landscape lobby, a semi-transparent sunken clubhouse, and an open external landscape. A series of well-arranged spatial flows are designed, incorporating various living scenes such as a reading area, fitness area, and parent-child area, which contribute to the "sense of involvement" and "publicness" that traditional residential areas lack. It brings together architectural art and social needs.

The overall facade adopts an asymmetric approach, with a landscape wall set outside the auxiliary building next to the main entrance, creating a 50-meter-long homecoming ritual landscape wall that extends the urban facade and increases the architectural tension.

The facade lines are inspired by the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, with gentle curves interspersed throughout the space. Elegant roof canopies, exquisite domes, and continuous curved walls perfectly interpret the aesthetic of Suzhou facades.

The curtain wall incorporates three different textures and sizes of stone patterns: polished, grooved, and chiseled. Metal lines of varying sizes are embedded in specific areas, creating a landscape effect where the view changes with every step. Natural, soft, and elegant color scheme materials are selected to create a vibrant and artistic image.

The entrance features blue-green jade luxury stone on the wall, enhancing the spatial ceremonial sense. The chiseled stone is handcrafted by master craftsmen, with each piece engraved with the name of the master behind its creation, creating an exclusive mark for the Canal.
