The wet, swampy area near the Chuzhou metropolis near Shanghai is now being actively drained and developed. One of these projects is the "new city" Minghu Wellness Town near Minghu Lake. The accompanying showroom is located in a "natural park", but at the same time in a well-visible location - next to the busy Chuzhou-Yangzhou highway and the Shanghai-Beijing high-speed railway.
The authors of the project, Lacime Architects, compare their spiral structure, clad in silver metal, with "fog rising over the swamps." Nature was indeed their main fulcrum. The volume of the building is divided horizontally, which should deprive it of "mass", and spectacular views of the terrain open up from the inside.
