The Floating Courtyard - Underground Entrance Plaza Renovation / Deep Origin Lab

The Floating Courtyard is located in the Science and Technology City of Suzhou Huqiu District. This renovation of the entrance plaza of the underground parking lot is a significant part of the public space system of Fashion Waterfront Longfor Starry Street. Deep Origin Lab went through the complete process from design to construction of the project. The olive-shaped spatial form of the original sunken plaza determines the basic geometry and axial conditions for the place. While retaining openness, the design reshapes the interface landscape from bottom to top through two means of "Contexture" and "Patch", creating an experiential place from the gap, that further bridges the spatial relationship for the urban environment.
