In the fall of 2019, we were commissioned to redesign a 4000m2 old industrial site that included several derelict workshop buildings and warehouses. The owner envisioned constructing a modern garden-villa. The new structure was intended to function as a hotel with approximately 20 rooms, while also accommodating a vacation villa for the owner's family. We decided with the owner to incorporate additional public spaces to transform the project into a cultural and tourist hub that could attract visitors beyond just hotel guests.

The location is bordered by a river to the north, a town road to the west, and an orchard-field to the east. To the south, a tall wall is required to block the neighboring industrial site. The main entrance is located on the north side, featuring a bridge that spans the river, reminiscent of the Canglang Pavilion Garden. Adjacent to the entrance is a linear glass volume that extends over the river, creating a light and transparent appearance. Visitors can sit and enjoy tea there while taking in the views that permeates mutually between the garden and the river. Additionally, the riverbank serves as a public space for local residents. Retail and displaying areas are situated along the street on the west side.

The garden is divided into two sections: a water garden and a gravel courtyard. The courtyard is encircled by the tearoom, displaying area, and a canteen that can accommodate events, creating a neat glass facade that overlooks the courtyard. The guest rooms on the second and third floors retreat slightly to ensure privacy.

The water garden features an irregular border, creating diverse surrounding facades similar to the Master of the Nets Garden. The pathways and corridors that encircle the water offer a sense of strolling, relaxation, and observation. A pavilion is situated where two corridors meet, appearing to float gently above the water and concealing the villa located to the north. The first floor of the eastern section houses a small art gallery, which also serves as a craft workshop, with a glass facade that brings in the landscape of the orchard-field to the east of the site, adding visual depth to the entire garden. Eight guest rooms are set on the second and third floors, providing views of the orchard-field.

2019年秋天，我们受业主委托，对湖州的一个占地6亩的老旧厂房仓储区进行重新设计。业主希望建一个一亩园或者四合园墅的放大版现代园林，设置约20间客房和一栋别墅，在作为民宿酒店对外经营的同时也可度假时自住。项目的总建筑面积约4000m²，业主和我们商定，在其中尽可能多地设置公共空间，成为当地的一个文旅综合体，可以接待一部分的非住宿客人。基地北面倚河，西面是城镇道路，东面是一片果林田园，南面有其他厂区需用高墙隔开。主入口在北面，通过一座平桥跨过小河，有如沧浪亭。入口西侧的线形玻璃体量悬挑于水上，轻盈通透，人们坐在其中喝茶观景，园内与小河的景观互相渗透。同时，河岸可以作为公共景观空间服务于本地的居民。西面临街是售卖文创产品的展示空间。园内分为东西两部分，西侧是砂石园，东面是水庭园。砂石园被茶室、展示空间，和南面可以举办小型宴会的餐厅围合，它们共同形成相对规整的玻璃界面，共享砂石庭院景观。位于二层和三层的客房退居其后，保留一定的私密距离。水庭园的围合界面丰富而多变，好似网师园，围绕水庭的步道檐廊，提供了游走、休憩和观望的游园体验。水庭中两道檐廊的交汇处形成一个亭子，微微漂在水上，北面的别墅被它掩在后面。东面体量的一层是小型艺术馆，也可用作手作工坊，玻璃的立面将东边田园和果林的景色借入，使整个庭园获得视觉纵深。艺术馆的二层和三层共设置8间客房，朝向东面的自然景色。
