Chinese design firm Trace Architecture Office has just completed the Tide's Echo Hall. It functions as an events and dining area within a range of structures along the coast. The space is described as a 'multifunctional cultural and tourism hub.' It is comprised of three pavilion buildings that hold a conference and exhibition space, a food court and restaurant, and the coastal promenade.
The studio explained the design, "The duality of the natural environment – the vastness of the ocean and the serenity of the woods – provides a rich source of inspiration for the architectural design. As visitors navigate through the spaces, the boundaries between interiors and exterior are continually redefined, creating a dynamic and layered spatial journey that responds to both the natural and built environment."
