twin steel pavilions reinterpret gable-roof viewing platforms<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Located in a coastal valley in Xiangshan, Ningbo, China<\/a>, Twin Pavilions replaces an underused viewing<\/a> deck with two steel<\/a> structures overlooking the sea. The project, conceived by the collaborative team between Atelier LuxNox and Found Projects, reinterprets the original gable-roof<\/a> form as two single-pitch volumes arranged perpendicular to one another. Concrete<\/a> walls beneath the structures define circulation and form a semi-enclosed courtyard<\/a> facing the coastline. The two pavilions<\/a> share a common structural system and material palette while developing distinct identities.<\/p>\n

The pavilion closer to the mountain rises vertically with a compact footprint, while the pavilion facing the sea extends parallel to the shore with a lower and more elongated form. Both volumes are clad in Corten grating of varied densities and thicknesses, allowing daylight to produce shifting impressions of transparency and solidity across the facades. Seen from the foothill, the two structures, designed by Atelier<\/a> LuxNox and Studio<\/a> Found Projects, form an asymmetrical yet balanced composition within the landscape. Through differences in scale and proportion, they organize a sequence of movement, framed views, and moments of pause, turning the experience of looking towards the sea into a continuous spatial sequence.<\/p>\n
