Chongqing Taoyuanju Community Center - Stairway

Built : 2015

It's quite suitable for a mountainside community to have their gathering spot nestled under a grass roof as if it were growing out of the landscape. The center serves as a cultural, sports and health hub for the local community. While it's impact is big, it's environmental footprint is not. The building boasts a rainwater collection/reuse system, permeable pavement, passive ventilation, and locally sourced materials by means to reduce it's footprint.
