Surrounded by trees, this small club locates in the forest protection belt to the north of the Asian Games Village. The original courtyard had three single-storey houses and many bamboos. Behind the courtyard is a quiet pond.
The starting point of the design is to respect the original structure and upgrade it.
To realize this goal, a two-storey corridor was built to connect the original houses to mobilize the space. The corridor was made of glass in order to reduce its influence to the surroundings. From north to south, the courtyard could be divided into several parts, whose images were reflections of the ancient Chinese architecture. The front courtyard and entrance, the maim space, the lobby and atrium, and the salon beside the pond can be respectively correspond to the kiosks, central halls, courtyards and terraced pavilion in the ancient Chinese architecture.
