details
• Designed to resemble the experience of being on
a yacht, or a luxury cruise.
• It forms a retreat where people can disconnect

from their busy daily lives , enjoy and relax.
• It offers excitement and activity.
• Opportunities to escape and explore.

Accessibility
• A contrasting approach.
• Visual impact and the maritime notion of
bridging land and sea was employed in the
design. Landscape
• Whilst from the land side a sculptural landscape
builds up gradually as you approach the
clubhouse
• From the water side a distinct and open facade
welcomes sailor by casting a shimmering
reflection on the water.
Landscape
• Referring to the colours, materials and the
craftsmanship employed in the skins of
contemporary speedboats and yachts, the facade
facades of the clubhouse consists of bronze coloured
aluminium panels.
• Often used in naval architecture, this bronze hue
highlights the softness and fluidity of the
building’s geometry.
• On the waterfront the entire facade is glazed and
built up with glass fins for structural support.
• This facade includes several balconies providing
vista points and shading to the glazed areas.
• The undersides of the roof and the balconies are
clad with mirror finishes which resemble sparkling
reflections on the water’s surface.
facades
• Natural light entering through a large

skylight
• the East and West openings creates a
comfortable atmosphere and offers a
constant play between light and shadow.
• Large, open ‘funnel’ spaces cut through the
building.
• simultaneously forming vertical connections
by means of staircases which allow access
and strolling between the levels.
Funnels • The Funnels change the typical notion of the
building from an obstacle to the waterfront
to a liquid space which allows for a seamless
transition through the building’s volume.
• They form a permeable layer for walking
from one side of the clubhouse to the other
without interfering with the building’s
programme and as such aid in the
organization of the interior spaces.
Funnels
• The funnel spaces enable views
through the entire building towards the
Funnels nearby yachts and the water.
• In this way the funnel spaces create a
strong inside-outside relationship for
the building.
• In warmer periods the funnels enable a
constant gentle breeze to cool the
spaces by means of natural cross
ventilation.
Funnels
• The landscape surrounding the building is
designed and organised with respect to views of
the surrounding environment
• There are plateaus from which to experience
and enjoy the river xi and view points that
connect people with the soft landscape of
shenwan.
Landscape • The architecture allows for these views to also
be enjoyed by the public without infringing upon
the privacy of exclusive users or residents.
• The shape of the building and landscape
was derived and developed based on the
main access routes to the clubhouse, in
combination with the most attractive view
lines.
INTERIOR
As a hub for maritime lifestyle activities, the marina offers
various amenities for social interaction, for business, leisure
and wellness, with the clubhouse building housing numerous
restaurants,
a members area,
spa, gym and
guestrooms.

BRIDGE
• The bridge provides the main access
route to the clubhouse and the
waterfront.
• The walking level is located below the
vehicular path and therefore sheltered
from the view, fumes and noise of the
cars.
• The bridge incorporates several
Bridge
platforms to rest or linger and above
the dyke the handrail of the bridge
transforms into a seating area – with
the handrail of the vehicular path
functioning as the canopy.

service building, high-end
residential villas and the supporting
infrastructure, such as the CIQP
