Grow with the Forest, Valley Villas at the Foot of Changbai Mountain


The project is located in Erdaobai River Town, at the foot of the tallest mountain range in eastern Eurasia-Changbai Mountain. One side is a virgin forest river valley. On the other side is a huge scar from urban development an abandoned folk amusement park. The architect sought to explore methods to achieve a sym-biotic harmony between nature and human activities, and the possibilities for the borders between nature and cities.

 The re-sult is a structure that does not have any predetermined shape. Instead, the form is dictated through avoiding every primeval tree whilst growing freely towards the sun and landscapes. Living rooms face the mountains, dining rooms stand out in forests, and bedrooms overlook the creeks. Every stick-out window is a tranquil corner for man to feel nature by himself. Unobstructed interior design forms a channel that turns everyday life into shuttling between landscapes in diferent directions. When you look around, you can see the forest, river, mountain and sunshine interweaving in front of you. Landscapes change and seasons pass before you realise.
