TERRACE

Nanbo Bay Reception Center

Yinchuan Shi, China

low moving water meanders to Nanbo Bay which is adjacent to
China Yinchuan Cultural Park, backed by wetland. Thousands
Sof acres of lake city form a bay of beautiful scenery. The river
surrounds the buildings with half moon shapes, like a jade belt around
the waist. The “Crowned River” Fengshui layout makes this architecture
with good vision.
Abundant water resources and virescence have underpinned the
project theme of “Nature, Science, and Humanities.” Sunson Design
makes the advantage of ecological conditions of living follow the water,
which allows the visitors to experience the ecological urban life and
cultural heritage, and to feel surrounded by mountains and lakes, and
in addiition, will be able to enjoy the architecture.

Natural Ecology
Long stays in the buildings, return to nature
The “Hall of Time” is located at the entrance of the building,
generating the first impression of the project which is natural, warm,
mysterious, and full of the ritual sense that by entering this hall, you
will step into an “isolated” natural park.
The divergent wooden dome simulates the sunlight, beneath which
there is a circular water viewing device marked “Life should be spent on
Atrium garden on the ground floor enjoying good things”, which shows life should be good and don’t waste
time. Enjoy the lights, flowers, scenery, and settle down.
