Here’s a second project in China by David Chipperfield Architects: Ninetree Village is a recently completed residential development in Hangzhou.
The project is situated next to a bamboo forest and consists of twelve residential buildings, each containing five apartments.
Each building is clad in a wooden grid, which varies in density according to the level of privacy required in different areas of the home.
See our earlier story on Chipperfield’s Liangzhu Culture Museum in China.
The following is from the architects:

Ninetree Village
Hangzhou, China
2004 – 2008
A small valley, bordered by a dense bamboo forest, forms the site for this luxury housing development, situated near the Qiang Tang River in Hangzhou, south-eastern China.
The particular charm and beauty of the place are the determining factors.
Twelve individual volumes are arranged in a chessboard pattern to create the maximum amount of open space for each building.
Through planting new vegetation, each apartment building is set in its own clearing in the forest.
The buildings adapt to the topography, creating a flowing landscape through a slight turning of the blocks.
The grounds will be accessed from the southern entrance via a network of lanes.
All buildings are linked to an underground car park, enabling the site to be free from vehicles above ground.
Within the development there are six types of building differing in size and floor plan depending on the location, view and light conditions.
The individual apartment buildings contain five generously proportioned apartments, each accommodating a full floor of approximately 400 sqm.
The floor plan concept creates a flowing interior space defined by solid elements which accommodate auxiliary functions.
The selection of materials for the living and sleeping areas provides an elegant, calm atmosphere, whilst the enclosed elements are envisaged as cabinets using precious traditional materials.
The loggia zone, which runs around the whole building, provides a transition area between the interior living space and the surrounding nature.
Based on a traditional principle of Chinese housing, an exterior skin using wooden elements protects the privacy of the residents.
This skin differs in density, depending on the interior functions, sunlight and the conditions of the site.
Moveable elements allow the resident to further decide on the degree of privacy desired.

A clubhouse with an outdoor pool is located at the northern tip of the site.
This small building follows the irregular shape of the steep slope of the hill, forming a kind of a retaining wall that continues to define the border of the property.
The interior is shaped like a cave carved into the hill.
Skylights let natural light deep into the rooms.
In front of the clubhouse lies a raised platform with an irregular shape following the natural borders of the site.
The building is made out of coloured concrete and Chinese volcanic stone.

Liangzhu Culture Museum by David Chipperfield Architects
David Chipperfield Architects have completed the Liangzhu Culture Museum at Hangzhou, China.
The museum, which will house a collection of archaeological findings from the Liangzhu period, is part of a new garden town called Liangzhu Cultural Village.
The museum is composed of four parallel bar-shaped volumes, clad in Iranian travertine.
The following is from David Chipperfield Architects:

Liangzhu Culture Museum
Hangzhou, China
2003 – 2008
The museum houses a collection of archaeological findings from the Liangzhu culture, also known as the Jade culture (c3000 BC). It forms the northern point of the ‘Liangzhu Cultural Village’, a newly created park town near Hangzhou.
The building is set on a lake and connected via bridges to the park. The sculptural quality of the building ensemble reveals itself gradually as the visitor approaches the museum through the park landscape.
The museum is composed of four bar-formed volumes made of Iranian travertine stone, equal in 18m width but differing in height.
Each volume contains an interior courtyard.
These landscaped spaces serve as a link between the exhibition halls and invite the visitor to linger and relax.
Despite the linearity of the exhibition halls, they enable a variety of individual tour routes through the museum.
To the south of the museum is an island with an exhibition area, linked to the main museum building via a bridge.
The edge areas of the surrounding landscape, planted with dense woods, allow only a few directed views into the park.
The entrance hall can be reached via a courtyard, the centrepiece of which is a reception desk of Ipe wood, lit from above.
The material concept consists of solid materials that age well, Ipe wood and travertine stone, and extends to all public areas of the museum.
