昆明
A mountain-side coffee production and cultural center featuring a circular courtyard and exterior circulation that engage the sloping terrain.
- What we like about this project
- An open-air stairwell acts as a theatrical focal point against a massive blank concrete wall.

- Geometry
- Curvilinear campus layout wrapping an interior circular courtyard, stepping down a steep hillside.
- Facade system
- Concrete block screen walls paired with punched windows and open-air stair assemblies.
- Structural guess
- Cast-in-place concrete and masonry bearing wall construction.
- Spatial scale
- Multi-story civic or industrial complex scaled to the hillside topography.
- Lighting
- Overcast daylight with dramatic diagonal sunbeams washing across the exterior concrete stair and screen wall.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and atmospheric, with misty mountain air cut by dramatic rays of light.
- Environmental context
- Rugged, densely forested mountain slope with terraced vegetation and winding access roads.
- Spatial experience
- Movement flows from the hillside road up into an open central ring, with exterior stairs linking stacked levels.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating vertical stair runs and screen block perforations creating a rhythmic facade texture.
