China Resources Wuhan Optics Valley Runjing Park Commercial Renewal / Dachuan Design + WTD Weitu Design

Andreas Luco — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The 2025 Wuhan Heye Mountain Bridge-Under Space Renewal project seeks to address three interconnected urban renewal challenges within the context of high-density development through a "clustered embedding" approach: ① Multi-stakeholder integration—blurring boundaries among community development, municipal infrastructure, and operational entities; only an organization co-evolved from site conditions and diverse stakeholder needs can achieve genuine integration; ② Paradigm shift—from "formal composition" to "functional organization," ensuring that each building's placement, cornering, and scale uniquely respond to constraints imposed by adjacent green spaces, woods, elevated roads, streets, and communities; ③ Residential value reorientation—abandoning material accumulation and excessive luxury in favor of practical publicness, introducing compact, lightweight, and operable public spaces to promote the publicization of residential boundaries and open them up to the city.

Pilar Caballero — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Situated at the geographical center of China, Wuhan earned the title of the "Gateway to Nine Provinces" as early as the Ming and Qing dynasties. From the ancient Yunmeng wetlands, to Yu the Great diverting the Han River into the Yangtze, and later the river's course shift in the sixth year of Emperor Chenghua's reign, the city gradually took shape as today's "River City." Renowned as the "City of a Hundred Lakes," Wuhan is interwoven with rivers, lakes, and waterways, with water areas occupying one quarter of its territory. Evidently, the relationship between "water" and "city" is inseparable.

"Merryda Wiki World • Secret Camp" is a forest retreat camp created by United Investment Merryda Hotel Management Group in collaboration with Wiki World. Located on Cihui Street in Dongxihu District, Wuhan, this project is set within a metasequoia forest inhabited by migratory birds, where over a dozen treehouses are discreetly nestled. It is a magical project—each treehouse seems to have evolved from the birds themselves, each one a friend to the birds perched among the treetops. On ordinary days, you can come here to chirp and chatter along with the birds, keeping them company. This project is also part of the "Wiki Building School" co-building with nature initiative, representing another attempt by our team to explore the diversity of living spaces.

LuxeIsland Restaurant / DL Atelier

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 07:00:00 +0000

In early 2023, LUXELAKES planned to launch a new project in Wuhan. Having collaborated on multiple previous projects—such as Dotsss Children's Museum, Edenland Architectural, and CPI Planning in Chengdu, as well as The CAPE Commercial District and Qilou Historic Street Planning in Hainan—we were already familiar with each other and worked together seamlessly. As a result, we collaborated again to design a restaurant within a children's playground. During the preliminary planning phase, the restaurant was named "The Brave Cabin," as it was surrounded by challenging recreational climbing equipment. We hoped the building would inspire children's courage to overcome difficulties. With an indoor area of less than 200 square meters, the building has a relatively small footprint. Our goal was to create ample semi-outdoor spaces where visitors could relax in the shade. Additionally, thanks to its prominent location at the island's gateway, the building is visible from a distance to arriving visitors.

Second Restroom on Wuhan Luke Island / Atelier Palimpsest

韩爽 — Sun, 05 Oct 2025 02:00:00 +0000

From Restroom to Waystation - In recent years, our studio has designed a series of small-scale public restrooms through various competitions and commissions. These designs have incorporated varying degrees of public functions—such as rest areas for sanitation workers, auxiliary spaces, and vending areas—continually transforming the conventional concept of restroom spaces across different contexts. For this project, the client initially requested event storage space for Luke Island. Later, owing to the restroom's favorable location, a temporary office space was incorporated as well. Thus, the public restroom has gradually evolved into a compact, multi-functional public infrastructure, continually expanding the possibilities of design.

This plan will create a series of island cabins and explore the possibilities of returning to nature through different spatial forms. 'The Cabin of Sails' is part of the natural co-construction plan and represents the first island cabin completed by Wiki World.

Architects have long explored the skyscraper typology as a solution to these challenges, integrating commercial spaces and public amenities within residential buildings to create all-inclusive experiences for tenants. Over the years, skyscrapers have evolved into multifaceted vertical communities that aim to address the complexities of urban living.

Humanity has become obsessed with breaking its limits, creating new records only to break them again and again.
