🌿 Lotus Clubhouse – Blending seamlessly into forest and lake vibes! 🏞️
Dispersed layout with layered green roofs weaves architecture into nature. Small volumes at varying heights link via curving paths and water features, crafting open-to-enclosed spaces.
Lake-facing spots buzz with activity, while quiet zones nestle deeper in the landscape. Planted roofs cool naturally, manage rainwater, boost habitats – pure low-impact genius!

The Former French Concession has long put its stamp on this part of Shanghai, and it's obviously an honour for a French architect to design an urban space here in tune with its urbanism, its plane trees, narrow streets, and inhabited landscapes. "Between Ma Dang and Dan Shui streets, it was tempting to create a shortcut that would be an urban and commercial passageway, a sequence evoking vanished surroundings that have been completely reimagined and are new and modern; a high, narrow street that's covered and protected..."
The exterior, in a greyish-beige colour, offers glimpses through the two entrances on Ma Dang and Dan Shui streets, of a surprising array of lights, colours, and vegetation. A shopping street on two levels, sequenced by overhead walkways and small bridges, is submerged between two flowery walls made up of rows of earthenware jars planted with different species, both green and coloured.
