Architecture firm Mur Mur Lab has designed the Dongdan Grassland Sea Ruins Station which is found on the Eastern side of China to form two wave-topped glass pavilions. The station is in the Dongshen Township in Zhejiang province overlooking the area of mudflat pasture created during a land reclamation project.
It serves as a transit hub that connects the Damuyang coastal area with the southern coastal highway. The studio speaks about how it approached the design, sharing "Faced with a vast wilderness, 'viewing' is not a challenge. The core design consideration is how the scenery, filtered through the 'architectural container', presents itself as a unique experience – it first appears as a screen, then a window, followed by a corridor, and finally a high platform."
