Project Greenland Primus
Where Wuhan, China
Designer CCD/Cheng Chung Design (HK) Ltd.
Located along the bank of the Yangtze River, the
Wuhan Greenland Center expresses its connection
with nature while the design of its interiors integrates
influences from both the past and present of Chinese
and Western cultures. According to a legend dating
back more than 2,000 years that exemplifies the
Chinese ideal of friendship, when Yu Boya played
the harpsichord for Zhong Ziqi, he could immediately
tell whether the melody referenced high mountains
or flowing water. The design team drew inspiration
from this legend and aimed to showcase these
harmonious expressions. The lobby integrates
organic elements such as flowers, trees, landscape
windows, gradual steps, and stone trails, and
throughout the project, pavilions and corridors serve
as functional support areas for rest, negotiation,
and displaying art and models. Natural and artificial light sources alternate to create a rhythm, and
circular elements reference traditional courtyards.

This library, located within a sales center,
is designed to look like a gallery. It was conceived
based upon the belief that every memory has
a key, and under the right circumstances, one
will retrieve it-even if it is buried deeply. The
designers contemplated how to imbue the small
space with beauty and comfort while referencing
the innocence of childhood, such as wishes made
beneath falling stars, the fun of a balloon, or
the excitement of spotting a rainbow. Not unlike
a black-and-white photo, memories can fade
and even become fragmented. The designers
of this library sought to capture these sentimental
details and remind visitors of the fun times
from their childhoods.

The Piedmont is a residence that is designed to
integrate with the landscape while reflecting the
traditional culture of southern China. The sales
office, reception, and business center are located
on the lower two floors of the four-story building.
The first floor contains a negotiation area, a tea bar,
and a private banquet area. A large window frames
views of a pond within the peaceful Lingnan garden
outside. The second floor hosts other business
functions as well as the reception space, another
tea bar, and areas for listening to music and
watching videos. There is also a museum, lecture
hall, and a meditation space. A sunken courtyard
draws natural light into the interiors, and the
material palette includes black bricks and gray
tiles that extend from the garden as well as wood
beams and columns that reference traditional
Chinese construction methods.
