The project adopts the design concept of a “Playful Pinwheel” and uses a twirling windmill to express the beautiful vision of “convergence and blending” at the center.

The four “blades” are curved to connect, and the “blades” freely extend in different directions, outlining an open building like a carpet, and engaging in a dialogue with the city’s landscape.

The “handle” of the blade is concave and enclosed, creating a rich square space while meeting the requirements of practical use. Combined with the landscape, it provides citizens with a diverse ecological green experience.

The project was jointly designed by LYCS Architecture and the Zhejiang Province Institute of Architectural Design and Research (ZIAD). Currently, the project has entered the scheme review stage and is expected to commence construction this year. Source by LYCS Architecture.
