activity center (group project)

The Lantern

All-aged community activity center in Tianjin.

Project Info

Locaton: Tianjin, China

Type: public facility

Site area: 12000 sqm

Building area: 7200sqm

Group members: Loem Mengheng, William Gilbert

Abstract

The site is in Feng Hu Park in Nankai district, surrounded by residential buildings, a kindergarten, and a primary school in front of the park. Unfortunately, the park is enclosed by the wall, and we barely know that there’s a public space in the neighborhood. The surrounding area faces significant challenges, such as traffic congestion and lack of parking space due to the schools nearby. These problems affect local traffic flow and diminish the overall experience for park-goers.

The proposed all-aged activity center in Feng Hu Park aims to create an inclusive space that fosters community engagement, promotes wellness, and enhances social interaction among diverse age groups.

Key features include an underground parking lot, playgrounds, outdoor fitness areas, etc. The design will prioritize accessibility and sustainability, integrating green spaces and environmentally friendly practices.

(This is a group project of two people. My part is to desgin the park and the underground parking lot. My teammate, Gilbert, designs the building layout and the facade. It was a fun studio to work with him.)

TONG, which in Chinese means “Kid,” is a two-story boy cloth store. With its hash-sign-like shape and white facade, the store looks like a new sculpture in the park, allowing users to appreciate it from afar.

The entrance

The house’s main entrance is raised to a different level and covered by a thick stone wall to give the owner a sense of privacy and mystery.

In such a tropical place, after a long day of work, treating yourself to fresh juice and swimming with the view of the sea could boost your mood and creativity.

A floating box facing the sea is the best place to read and relax any time of the day. The corridor is attached to the stone wall, giving a close connection between the users.

Thank you!
