4西京湾田园餐厅（已建成）
上海
A rustic-modern restaurant architecture precedent combining heavy local stone terracing with cantilevered timber and glass volumes, captured at dusk.
- What we like about this project
- The dramatic upper timber cantilever extends far past the stone wall, creating a sheltered outdoor balcony below.

- Geometry
- Multi-tiered volumetric masses stepping back with cantilevered upper timber blocks and fully glazed facade bands resting over a massive rubble-stone base.
- Facade system
- Curtain wall glazing framed with timber mullions and accented with vertical timber slat sunscreen screens.
- Structural guess
- Heavy stone retaining walls supporting a primary timber frame with cantilevered floor assemblies.
- Spatial scale
- A two-to-three-story rural hospitality building at human scale relative to the stone courtyard and stair terraces.
- Lighting
- Twilight blue hour sky contrasting with warm interior illumination and uplighted ground landscaping and stair treads.
- Atmosphere
- Warm, inviting hospitality glow emerging from the heavy timber and stone landscape.
- Environmental context
- Lush hillside setting surrounded by mature deciduous and evergreen trees.
- Spatial experience
- The approach rises from a paved courtyard via illuminated stone steps framed by heavy stone walls up into the transparent timber pavilions.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical wood louvers and structural mullions repeat across the upper facade tiers, balanced by the random rubble stone base.
- Style reading
