Sharply Mountainous Structures

The Chongqing Greenland Clubhouse by PURE Design is Nature-Inspired

— March 29, 2013 — Art & Design
Mimicking the mountains in its surroundings, the Chongqing Greenland Clubhouse features sharp peaks that are nevertheless more contemporary than organic. In fact, it is located halfway up the south side of the mountain in Hong’en Temple Forest Park facing the Jialing River. The strikingly angled portions of the roof levels out below to create a strong base from which to jut out of.

The Chongqing Greenland Clubhouse is home to a real estate exhibition space, sales rooms, infinity pool and more.
