This project is located on Hainan Island, which boasts a long coastline and vast, lush vegetation. We believe that the future community center, which is currently a sales center, should serve as a hub for connecting nature/civilization, coast/land, and traditional/modern lifestyles. The goal is not just to design a space, but to create a spiritual destination like an island gathering place, characterized by a venue that welcomes a wide range of life experiences.

The layout and flow of the space are dedicated to connecting indoor and outdoor landscapes and behaviors, highlighting the fleeting flow of wild landscapes into our food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. At the same time, by reducing the number of walls and creating open spaces, the tight relationships and simple sharing of life among the past settlements and residents will be revived in the concept and atmosphere of a modern island gathering place, bringing guests from all over the country closer together and encouraging them to shed their civilized armor.

To stimulate the five senses and allow people to fully experience the joys hidden in nature, we also make use of local tribal craftsmanship, such as chopping logs and rocks with axes, weaving coconut fiber, and using rustic materials such as wooden grids and clay plaster to enhance the island's natural simplicity that is embedded in the architecture and space.

The design not only constructs buildings, but also reflects the relationship with the natural ecology of Hainan. The behavior patterns that architecture changes will penetrate from outside to inside, affecting food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and cultivating a different, simple and peaceful lifestyle from the hustle and bustle of the city.
