As featured on DesignBloom the
‘super market in Sanya Lake Park’ proposal by dutch firm NL architects features
an underground extension of public space under an elevated terraced garden in
the southernmost city of china. The complex located in Sanya resort will
include three residential towers standing 21 stories tall with integrated
semi-enclosed gardens. Between the structures, a considerable amount of landscaping
and pavilion designs are being implemented to create an interactive environment
activated with social, commercial, and recreational activities.
The triangular
shaped supermarket will occupy much of this shared exterior space, and unlike a
traditional supermarket that extends horizontally, imposing on a large expanse
of land, the Sanya market will instead be located partially underground,
connecting to each of the towers subterraneously and concealing the logistical
factors of waste removal and product delivery from public view. The roof plane
is composed of a series of extruded stepped contours containing lush gardens
that grow at the vertices to expose large curtain walls, smaller retail shops,
and marking the entrances to the structure. From the surrounding towers, the
market structure appears to be a raised
green terrain while at street level exposes the layering of program and
circulation towards a market core.
It will be recalled that the
same firm, NL Architects designed the Bicycle Club in 2012, an impressive cycling pavilion, meant to
bring people together and encourage one of the greatest sports. It has a rooftop cycling arena supported by a glass-enclosed cafe at ground
level.
