mountain-retreat-by-archmit
成都
A mountain retreat precedent by Archermit that integrates broad tiled roofscapes and horizontal massing directly into surrounding agricultural terraces.
- What we like about this project
- The deep roof overhang breaks pitch dynamically around the upper balcony recess.

- retreat
- Geometry
- Low-slung sprawling horizontal massing with broad, broken-pitch tiled roofs and recessed balconies stepping into the landscape.
- Facade system
- Open timber-post porches and recessed plastered walls beneath large overhanging pitched tile roofs.
- Structural guess
- Timber post-and-beam frame supporting large timber roof trusses.
- Spatial scale
- Human-scaled low-rise building sitting quietly within expansive agricultural landscape.
- Lighting
- Soft, diffused overcast morning light with cool blue tones and gentle illumination across the tiled roof surfaces.
- Atmosphere
- Quiet, misty, and grounded within the rural landscape.
- Environmental context
- Rural mountainous setting surrounded by manicured agricultural tea terraces and misty treelines.
- Spatial experience
- Approached across low terraced vegetation, the building dissolves into the agricultural topography through low eaves and continuous open porches.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal roof lines punctuated by vertical window bays and recessed balcony voids.
- Style reading
