Jiaoshan Islands

studio505 were asked to design a sustainable eco resort by the Taihu Bay Real Estate Company, China. To be located on the Jiaoshan Islands, the development represents a unique opportunity for the people of Jiangsu. Developing a sustainable, carbon neutral and net energy zero style resort on the location while focusing the attention of the development on the opportunity to rehabilitate the waters of Taihu in general will help to improve the livelihood, wealth and health of the surrounding populations and communities.

The development is designed to reveal itself as a series of new hilltops, nestled between the two islands, connecting them to each other and to the greater lake. The architecture of the circular marina creates a new centre between the islands, where they currently kiss. The principal driver for the form has been the creation of place; the current marina has been expanded to a generous and exciting circular enclosure with a building in the form of a rounded hill. Circular motifs recur through scales, from the 200m marina, to the collection of reed beds and pools strung like beads around the interior of the water.

505工作室被常州太湖湾房地产开发有限公司委托设计一座可持续发展生态度假村。度假村位于太湖湾椒山岛，为当地居民带来了一次独特的发展机会。 项目旨在太湖湾发展一座可持续性、碳中性并且净耗能为零的生态度假村，同时项目将发展重心建立在改善太湖湾整体水域的水质问题以及优化周边居民社区的生活环境，质量和健康等问题上。

整个开发项目被设计成一系列的山丘形态-坐落于两座岛屿间的建筑相互贯通并连接延伸至太湖。环形码头相互吻合的地段则巧妙形成了岛屿间的全新中心地带。建筑的形态是由场地的形成所推动主导的，而现有的码头则被扩展延伸成被平缓的山形建筑环绕包围的更加宏大和丰富的空间。根据规模的不同，环形主题贯穿整个项目-包括200米的码头，在水面上串起的芦苇浮床和泳池等等。
