The key feature of the park is a fifty-year-old black pine forest and the architects had been challenged to minimize the construction impact on the environment. A filigree pedestrian bridge across a canal between city and forest follows a curved form at the south end of the beach. The organic three-dimensional form leads dynamically towards the beach.

Pedestrian bridge

Directly at the edge of the forest, with an open view to the sea, the Lanqiao Clubhouse is fully integrated into the form of the landscape with an organic design. The 1,150 square meter building includes a sauna, a café and an outdoor swimming pool. The café is located at the back, but with a perfect view out to the sea. The pool in front of the clubhouse is shielded from the two arms of the organic overall form. The two side wings contain the saunas, across which the landscape continues. Skylights light this part.

Clubhouse

Three organic pavilions contain public showers and restrooms. An outdoor space between them allows different activities. The landscape runs in a small stripe across the building. Otherwise the skin consists of glass and metal plates. The curved forms lead the huge mass of visitors in the peak season through the facilities in an organic way.

South bathroom

At the north end of the beach, a group of public showers, restrooms and convenient stores follow in a linear way along the forest line. Their organic form is reminiscent of sand dunes, but with their white color and the triangular pattern they generate a technical touch.

North bathroom

Not far from there, the Rizhao Visitor Centre follows as an integral part of the new facilities. The two-storey complex is in a radical organic way three-dimensionally interwoven into the landscape and brings the thematic aspect of parametric design to a final conclusion. The complex includes shops, cinemas, restrooms, restaurants, public showers and public outdoor space in the sunken plaza.

Service center

The steel structure of all buildings was designed to fit the complex forms in parametric design. It was carefully adopted throughout the process to make sure that the local manufacturers and craftsmen can realize the buildings without loss of quality. The decentralized facilities at the beach show that with a variation of related elements, a highly individualized result can give a new meaning to the landscape and make the location a destination for tourists and locals alike.
