Within Guanlan Forest, an ecological heart of Shenzhen, Litou Mountain Park takes inspiration from the clothing design and production processes of Dalang Fashion Town. The town is a future gathering destination for fashion’s rising talents and a center for art. Blending nature and textiles, the project situates the park at the front of the fashion frontier.
SWA tailored details of Litou Mountain Park to evoke the grand gestures of haute couture. The resulting design is a country park that is both stylish and sporty with minimal construction. With only one main road in the whole park, the design had to accommodate strict fire protection and traffic requirements while also serving as the main path for sports and excursions. The amount of earthwork was minimized as much as possible by following the site’s original topography.
