Since a thousand years ago, Boshan has become a renowned town of ceramics and coloured glaze. Touring around it, one can fully enjoy the beautiful landscape and fascinating culture. Many old villages there such as Guyao Village have witnessed the passage of time, inherited ingenious craftsmanship as well as the spirit for striving for excellence, and created various exquisite artworks. Based on these favourable natural and cultural conditions in Boshan, Co-Direction Design decided to construct an “elder-care town” beside Yuwang Mountain, a destination for old people to enjoy later life. Pottery and Colored Glaze Workshop, the project is situated in the “elder-care town”.
Bearing in mind the inheritance of local traditional culture and the essence of design, the design team conceived the idea of restructuring the space and integrating historical and cultural elements into it, aiming to reach a balance between the contemporary and the traditional.
The overall space features a smooth and natural layout, with ochre, black and white as major hues. Woods, stones, copper and bricks were widely utilized, together creating a calm and restrained atmosphere in the space. Besides, cultural symbols of ceramics dating back to one thousand years ago were ingeniously incorporated into the interior design.
