CULTURAL CENTER
The local government of small town in the countryside of YAAN is looking for a new spot to show the local culture and use it as an office. The program consists in a small bookstore/library, a polyfunctional space, rooms for stay, restaurant and a small factory where to produce Chinese wine.
The plot is isolated surrounding by tea fields with view to the mountains and connected with a main road in the main facade. There 2 buildings that need to be kept.
2 scales. We proposed an introverted building unified by a roof and porch that connect all of them. In that case, the approach is to create a perimeter using the existing buildings and adding 2 more: the bookstore and the winery. 2 atmospheres born: the intimate look in the inner patio and the infinite.
