Gu Yuan

The traditional Chinese landscape informs the design of this clubhouse in China.

December 31st, 2013

Gu Yuan by Deve Build Design is a poetic space that takes inspiration from Chinese landscape paintings.

Within a fairly limited area of 350sqm, the designers have deftly created layered and varied spaces with bridges affording different views of the clubhouse. Skylights cast natural light and shadow onto pristine white walls that gently fold for added dimension.

Raw bamboo forms the interior architecture and serves as the designers’ interpretation on a Chinese garden. Rings of red copper surround each bamboo stick and floors are lined in Mongolia black marble.
