The building sits at the foot of Mount Ta Park and was designed by architect Hua Li of Ji·Architecture. Originally a quarry, the site once featured sheer rock walls that, in winter, created a bleak landscape alongside wild locust trees. To preserve the original terrain and sense of place, the architect anchored the building’s form to the natural elements on site, intervening minimally and showing respect for every rock and every tree. The natural topography was used to integrate roof planes with terraces. If “the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago,” then here—after nearly a decade of maturation—the building has become completely integrated with its environment. Wild locust trees weave freely through the structure, mutually sustaining each other and bearing witness together.

建筑位于塔山公园山脚下，由迹·建筑的华黎老师设计。

这里原本是一处采石场，因采石而生成的巨大岩壁，

与周边的刺槐树在冬季时形成了一片荒芜。

为保留原始的地貌与场所感，

建筑师将建筑的形态依附于现场的自然元素。

以最小的限度介入环境之中。尊重在场的一石一树。

利用场地的高差，将屋面与平台相结合。

如果说，种一棵树最好的时间是在10年前，

那么在这里，经过近10年的时间洗礼，

建筑已经与环境完全融为一体。

刺槐树自由穿梭生长在建筑中，相互依附，共同见证。

This is another project by Hua Li at mid‑slope of Mount Ta Park, set within a forested landscape. Again, the architect intervened minimally to protect existing trees. The building branches into three spatial fingers, each oriented toward a different urban vista—Liugong Island, the harbor, and Huancuilou Tower. The structure, partially embedded in the hillside, creates visual connections with the city.

这是华黎老师在塔山公园的另一个作品，

位于塔山公园半山上的一片森林中。

同样为了保护现场的树，以最小的限度介入其中。

建筑形体分叉为3个空间分支，同时3个分支分别指向城市3个景观

——刘公岛、海港、环翠楼。

部分嵌入山体的建筑，在视线上与城市产生了互动。

（让我联想到了华黎老师在三里屯的甜品店，以及鸡鸣岛崖顶咖啡的观景手法）
