Wencheng Forest Oxygen Bar Town Urban Living Room

The project is located in Xikeng Town, Wencheng County, Wenzhou City, covering a site area of 8,978 square meters with a gross floor area of 5,297 square meters and a plot ratio of 0.59. As a showcase for the town’s image and a guide to its overall character, the design draws inspiration from an abstract interpretation of the forest motif, translating the natural forest into a tree-like structural form that gives the entire building the appearance of an artificial grove within the woods. The tree-like structural framework not only visually echoes the oracle-bone script form of the character “wen” but also resonates with the diamond-grid pattern found in the traditional hand-woven ribbons of the She ethnic group, thereby offering a contemporary reinterpretation of local cultural essence. The building features a continuously folded roof that harmoniously integrates with the vernacular residential typologies of the region. The projecting eaves around the building are an abstracted and simplified rendition of the dougong bracket system, serving as a respectful continuation and expression of traditional architectural forms.
