vanke Changyang ClubHouse

Beijing, China

Vanke (Beijing)

The Sales Office of Vanke’s Changyang Tiandi will in future become the community sports and recreation club. Therefore, part of the centre’s open space is designed to be a sports landscape so no remodelling is required upon transition.

Separated visually, and with a more playful aesthetic than the area immediately adjacent to the Sales Office, the sports landscape is a colourful and enticing space. Surrounded by a two-lane running track, the space focuses on a central sunken tennis court and beach area. 

Outdoor lounges skirt the sunken beach allowing people to watch as others enjoy a game of volleyball or to supervise playing children. 

A series of concrete bleachers run along the edge of the sunken core, heightening the sense of a sports landscape while allowing seating for more organised events.
