Houses in the Park

The Passage of Time

The project serves as a public reception area and management office for the park. The design inspiration comes from Salvador Dalí’s famous painting “The Persistence of Memory,” where the distorted clocks symbolize the passage of time, and the overall form of the building resembles a curved clock.

Buildings in parks are often easily overlooked and forgotten by visitors, getting lost in the forest, making it difficult for people to feel their presence. Although this project is small in size, the second-floor space is “lifted,” transforming it into a viewing platform for the park. The space between the first and second floors creates a spacious “roof area” that serves as a terrace for communication and relaxation. The unique spatial experience of the entire building forms a distinctive highlight of this park.
