Greenbay
Greenbay is a homestay built in Ya'an City, Sichuan Province, China. The building stands among terraced tea fields, with views of the tea landscape to the south and the Sichuan-Tibet Railway to the north. The plan resembles a hexagonal snowflake and holds three areas: a public area, thirteen guest rooms and a logistics zone. A triangular outdoor atrium forms the central hub of the building. The interior uses wood with white and grey tones. Large transparent surfaces open the rooms to the tea fields and reduce the impact on the local ecology.
Greenbay Homestay by Xi Lang has been identified as a creative representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Greenbay Homestay was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2022. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design accolade that celebrates outstanding design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
