Forest of Blocks

Nestled between busy expressways and construction sites, and adjacent to the old industrial town of Wan Chai Tsin, "Forest of Blocks" is a quiet, bustling forest of pure white and pink green; the beveled roof, like a building block, cleverly combines the function of advertising exterior wall, so that the traffic flow on expressway can clearly see the reception center, and also let the years static good atmosphere and advertising benefits not only one choice, but through the creative design, to make both.

It takes more than noisy self-promotion to make a reception center successful. Located in a block with few open spaces, "Forest of Blocks" makes full use of its wide features, retaining nearly 10 meters of green belt outside the 111-meter-long building volume. It also carefully sets up an atrium in the base, and sets up a parent-child play area. Through large floor-to-ceiling window, residents of the old city who walk here can easily see what is going on. It is not noisy but can naturally attract the eyes of nearby residents, and also convey the image of home warmly.

Starting from the forest image, "Forest of Blocks" is full of warm and childlike architectural personality, which also extends from outside to inside. Walking inside, it can be seen that the designer transforms the concept of forest tree into an umbrella arch structure, and connects it with the ceiling in different directions, creating the interest of multiple viewing angles. In this way, the natural atmosphere is introduced into the interior, blurring the boundary between inside and outside. On the other hand, the light strips on curved walls and soft draped curtains lightly separate the reception tables. Through the soft compartments, they not only maintain privacy and separation function, but also allow air and light to flow naturally in the building.
