Guiyang Huaxi Urban Centre
 

The design of a new urban centre looks to the surrounding landscape and rich architectural history of Guiyang, China.

Drawing from Guiyang's mounainous landscape and circular Hakka house, private and shared spaces are sculpted from connecting courtyards.

The envelope presents itself as three 'peaks' that contain the imprint of the Hakka while opening up vistas towards the site's valley.
