The Continuing Care Retirement Community is located in the heart of Kunming, known as the Spring City and Flower Capital, and famous for its beautiful clouds and Dianchi Lake. The design draws inspiration from its pleasant climate conditions and rich regional culture to create a garden-style wellness community that coexists with nature. The façade is inspired by the red-billed gulls fluttering around Dianchi Lake, and the dynamic building profile is derived from its wings soaring. The roof is made of parametric modules made of ceramic panels, which are tailored to resemble dancing feathers in the sunlight, depicting the poetry of spring. The Four Seasons Hall is located in the atrium space linking the various communal areas. The glass dome resembles a flower in full bloom, blurring the boundary between the building and nature, allowing the daylight and shadows to record the changes in time and atmosphere. The project is a benchmark for the health industry in Kunming, a CCRC that integrates daily care and nursing, medical rehabilitation, culture, art, and sustainable design, meeting the spiritual, cultural, physical health and social needs of the elderly.
