The project for the Huzhou Club Center is part of the new "Change on - White city" residential complex, in the ancient province of Zhejiang: an exclusive club at the service of the residences, but also open to the city and its guests.
The concept is inspired by the place and its tradition, specifically by its nature, by the sinuous shape of the Gingko tree leaves, the ancient tree of the city whose evocative forest extends for 12.5 kilometers, and by the archetype of the fan, with its shape and characteristic ribbing.
A fluid design that functionally divides the space into three areas of activity: leisure at the ground floor, entertainment at the first, wellness at the basement.
Among the most interesting elements of the design, the creation of iconic custom designed elements, such as the spectacular triple-height glass and metal chandelier in the hall, the marble and steel reception counter, the self-standing washbasins in the bathrooms, metal monoliths interlocking on a marble top, the glass partition of the wine cellar.
The material contrast is another key element of the project: marbles, metals, glass, leathers and fabrics, with their encounter, sometimes even extreme, lead to dynamic and vibrant environments.
Light sources emphasize the passages and the geometries of the spaces, such as grooves of light in the false ceiling and backlighting of visual points of particular importance, in addition to traditional technical and decorative lighting.
Finally, some artworks were designed ad hoc, such as the marble and metal one in the billiard room that recalls the circular movement of the opening of a fan, or the backlit sculpture in onyx, marble and metal in the wine cellar corridor: unique details that give a touch of exclusivity to the place.

Il progetto del Club Center di Huzhou si inserisce all’interno del nuovo complesso residenziale “Change on - White city”, nell’antica provincia dello Zhejiang: un club esclusivo al servizio delle abitazioni, ma anche aperto alla città e ai suoi ospiti.
Il concept trae ispirazione dal luogo e dalla tradizione, nello specifico dalla natura, dalla forma sinuosa delle foglie dell’albero di Gingko, albero antico della città la cui suggestiva foresta si estende per 12,5 chilometri, e dall’archetipo del ventaglio, con la sua forma e le caratteristiche cannettature.
Una progettazione fluida che divide funzionalmente lo spazio in tre aree di attività: leisure per il piano terreno, entertainment per il piano primo, e wellness per il basement.
Tra gli elementi più interessanti della progettazione, la creazione di elementi iconici disegnati custom, come lo scenografico lampadario in vetro e metallo a tripla altezza della hall, il bancone della reception in marmo e acciaio, i lavabi self-standing dei bagni, monoliti di metallo a incastro su un top in marmo, la partizione in vetro della wine cellar.
Il contrasto materico è un altro elemento chiave del progetto: marmi, metalli, vetri, pelli e tessuti, con il loro incontro a volte estremo, rendono dinamici e vibranti gli ambienti.
Fonti luminose enfatizzano i passaggi e le geometrie degli spazi, come le gole di luce a controsoffitto e la retroilliminazione dei punti visivi di particolare importanza, in aggiunta alla tradizionale illuminazione tecnica e decorativa.
Sono stati infine pensati ad hoc degli artwork,come quello in marmo e metallo della sala biliardo che ricorda il movimento circolare dell’apertura di un ventaglio, o la scultura retroilluminata in onice, marmo e metallo nel corridoio della wine cellar: dettagli unici che danno un tocco di esclusività al luogo.
