隈研吾建筑都市设计事务所

Based in Beijing, 隈研吾建筑都市设计事务所 crafts commercial mixed-use complexes, civic atriums, and cultural centers through weight-defying tectonics, using rotated floorplates, ethereal suspended meshes, and slender structural connections to break down building scale above reflective waters. The work provides a clear reference when detailing single-point timber supports beneath broad roof canopies, hanging textile installations across central voids, or aligning stone bridge approaches toward framed pavilions.

Interior pavilion structure made of bamboo screening framing a green mountain view over a reflecting pool by Kengo Kuma & Associates.

An interior pavilion precedent demonstrating dense vertical bamboo screening and raised platforms over water to frame natural landscape views.

What we like about this project
A linear stone bridge extends across the dark reflecting pool directly toward the framed bamboo pavilion.

Geometry
Symmetrical orthogonal pavilion constructed with dense vertical bamboo poles, raised on a timber platform over a dark stone reflecting pool.
Facade system
Porous vertical bamboo screen functioning as a semi-transparent exterior/interior boundary.
Structural guess
Light timber and steel frame supporting suspended bamboo pole assemblies.
Spatial scale
Human-scaled pavilion interior, roughly single-story height.
Lighting
Diffused outdoor daylight filters through the dense bamboo vertical screens, creating strong vertical shadows and highlights on the water.
Atmosphere
Serene and contemplative, blending natural materials with reflective dark water and framed distant greenery.
Environmental context
Mountainous landscape visible through the central opening, contrasting with the dark interior floor pool.
Spatial experience
The threshold moves from dark, reflective interior water toward a luminous bamboo-screened frame looking out to the green hillside.
Composition rhythm
Dense vertical rhythm of bamboo poles repeating across walls, ceiling, and foreground screen.
