Custom Bamboo Skylight Illuminates the Interior of a Historic Building in China
Architects: Atelier Archmixing
Location: Fuchunjiang, Zhejiang, China
Year: 2014
Size: 464 m2
Team: TANG Yu, YAO Wenxuan, JIANG Zhuoxi, HUANG Limin, YANG Yuqiong, LU Jinshuo, LIANG Bo
Corporacion: Shanghai Yuangui Architectural Structure Co.Ltd
Prize: THE BUNDS’ ‘Best New Hotel of the Year’of the 6th Best Design Hotel
In response to the overwhelming growth of cities and neighborhoods in China, architects from Atelier Archmixing’s Shanghai office, have developed a series of proposals that seek to return value to sensitive interior spaces and improve the user’s quality of life through design.
The project consists of an interesting light fixture; a bamboo structure similar in shape to an umbrella, that lets natural light and fresh air into the building.
This Zou ma lou is a typical Chinese Huizhou courtyard house sitting near a dock ,the client want to turn this old vernacular residence into a reception hall equipped with a gallery bar , upgrading its residential quality.
The two-story house is of modest size, while the enclosed courtyard is rather spacious and decent, surrounded with richly carved wood beams. To make best use of this spatial and decoration feature, a fantastic transparent umbrella structure is employed to shelter the center yard, where people cannow relax on sofas without worrying about the changing weather.
This is an independent bamboo structure covered with Polyurethane films, part of which can be opened to receive the sunlight and fresh air.This technical intervention successfully solved all challenges including air conditioning, rain collecting, daylighting and ventilation.
Through this project, we highlight our design philosophy that historical buildings should be put into everyday use instead of being adored as a shrine. Only in this way, they can achieve their full value with building emotional connections with the contemporary users.
The technical intervention solves all the challenges posed by the client, including air conditioning, rainwater capture, daylight and ventilation. The installation revitalises a historic building of great spatial and architectural value and strengthens its liveability qualities.
