Sky Courts by Höweler + Yoon Architecture
Höweler + Yoon Architecture have completed the Sky Courts building in Chengdu, China.
.
Description from the architects
Asked to reinterpret the Chinese courtyard typology as a modern corporate clubhouse, Sky Courts uses its constraints (the building typology and a mandate for sloped roofs) as opportunities to transform this traditional building type into a contemporary architectural proposition for a modern mixed-use program.

rugged yet elegant-those inverted wood periscope windows are a simple but sublime design solution.Further the inward sloping roofs are again an example of thinking inside box for remaining outside!

I can’t deside: I like it or not, but outside the game with the colors, is gorgeous. It’s really an artwork.
