Aranya Visitor Center in Qinhuangdao
Chinese Architecture Development in Hebei province, China – design by Wutopia Lab

Striped House
Design: Wutopia Lab
Location: Qinhuangdao, Hebei province, China
Striped House
Wutopia Lab was given the task by tourism company Aranya to revamp their concierge room near their offices to change it into a ?striped? tourism information center.
I hope to continue to experiment through this small project, exploring the boundaries of architecture. To do that, I tend to design building elevations with a layered effect that attempts to blur the climatic boundaries of architecture.
The skin of the original house was first replaced with semi-transparent glass to create a translucent box, but unlike previous projects that explore climatic boundaries that uses semi-transparent glass as curtain-like partitions, the box is surrounded by a solid wall, which creates a court yard that acts as the intermittent space between inside and outside. This wall is not to be mistaken as a secondary element as it holistically unitizes the box and the courtyard.
That is all we can talk about this exterior wall, but this wall has become an obvious building elevation and instead flattens the layering effect and architectural romance that I attempt to achieve. This is what I don?t want to see, yet, I am attached to the holistic nature of this wall and I also don?t...
