Shimei Nature Experience Hall

About The Entry

This project is located on Hainan Island, which boasts a long coastline and vast, lush vegetation. Waterfrom Design believes that the future community center, which is currently a sales center, should serve as a center for connecting nature/civilization, coast/land, and traditional/modern lifestyles. The goal is not just to design a space, but to create a spiritual destination like an island gathering place, characterized by a venue that welcomes a wide range of life experiences.

Following the architectural concept of environmental symbiosis and shared living, we strive to dissolve the barriers between different cities through a flexible internal layout, creating a unique and pure living relationship that is typical of island living.

To stimulate the five senses and allow people to fully experience the joys hidden in nature, we also make use of local tribal craftsmanship, such as chopping logs and rocks with axes, weaving coconut fiber, and using rustic materials such as wooden grids and clay plaster to enhance the island's natural simplicity that is embedded in the architecture and space.

We envision different backgrounds and experiences people as scattered islands in life, and the island gathering place is the architecture that symbolizes connection. Through this exchange, regardless of the duration, we create a healing experience that will be unforgettable.
