Project located in a lakeside at Lushan West Sea Resort, Jiujiang, China. The art center integrated as a multi-functional cultural complex. The client initially planned a small scale renovation on façade and interiors of the original building was not used 5 years. After analyzing the site conditions and environment, the architect proposed a renovation on the whole site, includes architecture, landscape and interiors. The goal of design is not satisfying function itself but rebuilding a sense of place.
The Mushroom is located in a pine forest. Thus handling the relationship between nature and the architecture became the essential approach of our design.
The architectural form of the Mushroom is composed of two simple volumes according to the functions:
Chan Town Showroom is located within the Qianxin Scenic Area of Longnan County, Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, which is situated at the Qianshan Mountain, a stretch of the northeastern foothills of the Jiu-lian Mountain National Nature Reserve with an average altitude of 600 meters. The half-moon shaped site is halfway on a mountainside, vaguely visible even before arrival while circling up the mountain road. The north side of the site is wide open with unblocked views towards ridges from nearby and afar. The south side bounds the site against the mountain in the back yet divided by a curved footpath spiraling up in the south. The most significant physical condition of the site, on a separate note, is the 8-meter height difference from the east to the west.
The project is located next to the Elephant Lake Wetland Park which informed and inspired the design. The design concept is to bring the natural qualities of the wetlands into the project, creating a spatial experience where the building and the landscape blend together. The design consists of three natural elements, water, earth and sky, corresponding to three functional areas: the front square, the commercial facilities and the observation tower.

Holland Dafang Creative Village brings new life to Chinese rural area: NEXT architects combines Chinese and Dutch cultures and creativity to create unique art village
China has undergone an unprecedented urbanisation process, from being a predominant rural society to having an estimated one billion Chinese living in cities in 2050. In this transformation so far, urban migration has left hundreds of thousands of villages abandoned. Many of these have dozens of generations of social, cultural and monumental value but are currently lacking major future significance.

Wanli district is known as “the backyard of Nanchang” and the birthplace of Chinese classical rhythm. The nearby 15,000-hectare Meiling National Forest Park makes the site of the project a gigantic natural oxygen bar. From the marvelous and mysterious nature, YANG draws design inspirations, and creates a 40,000 square meters eco-resort with local cultural aesthetics for business travelers.
As an ancient Chinese poem goes, “Willows get green again when spring rain falls at the bridge”. Spring rain provides for every thirsty beings, and thus manifests the beginning of lives. Looking from afar, the smoke-like spring rain creates a ethereal aura that resembles the fairyland. Inspired by this beautiful scenery, YANG uses scattered full-height white screens to introduce transparency and mysteriousness into the lobby, making the prelude of the hotel a lasting song of refreshed lives singing by the rain, in which every coming guest enjoys its natural and comforting ambiance.
Lushan Primary School will be an educational institute for 120 children located 160km north-west of Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province, and serve 12 local villages with a total population of about 1,800 people.
Surrounded by mountains as well as the rivers and lakes fed by the Zhelin Reservoir, the school is within an agricultural region that also has a rich tradition in the production of ceramics.
