凤谷驿 / 有限设计工作室

顺势而为的生态织补与空间渗透：项目最精妙之处在于其“顺势而为”的设计哲学。通过保留原有两层台地结构，设计师巧妙地将新建驿站嵌入场地肌理，并通过覆绿屋顶实现对原生绿化的“织补”，使建筑形态如同从山林中生长而出，顺应地势向水面延伸。特别是“五指”挑台的设计，不仅解决了茂密树林对视野的遮挡，还创造了多维度的观湖体验，这种对场地限制（如树木、军事演习区域的测绘不确定性）的灵活适应，展现了高超的场地响应能力和设计弹性。

多功能复合的“瑞士军刀”式服务空间：凤谷驿被精心设计为一个集休憩、服务与互动于一体的复合空间，类比“瑞士军刀”般的小房子，集成了咖啡操作间、卫生间、售卖窗口、天窗、洗手池以及为自行车和空调外机预留的龛位。更具特色的是，其可骑行上屋顶的设计，结合艺术装置“触手”，为骑行者提供了独特的“看海”视角和互动体验。这种将传统道旁茶棚的功能与现代骑行驿站的需求无缝融合，极大地提升了驿站的服务性和趣味性。

传统元素的现代转译与在地性表达：设计深度挖掘了岭南在地文化与传统建筑语汇，并以现代、去雕琢化的方式进行转译。例如，对“虎皮墙”的现代平面构成美感强调，以及对干粘石、水磨石等传统材料的运用，都体现了对在地材料和工艺的尊重。同时，通过引入类似大排档的红色塑料元素（尽管最终未完全实现），设计师试图在普世的休憩功能与地方特质之间寻找一种“既在地又世界”的平衡点，成功营造了接地气且富有文化对话性的休憩场所。

Located at the foot of Luofu Mountain in Boluo County, Huizhou, Xionggang Reservoir is surrounded by lush forests and is jokingly called the "Sea of Boluo" due to its vast water surface. The lake-circling road is 27 kilometers long and only allows non-motorized vehicles, attracting many cyclists, motorcyclists, and hikers on weekdays. Due to the scarcity of existing service stations, there is a lack of places for stopping and resting.

位于惠州博罗县罗浮山脚的显岗水库，为葱郁的山林所环绕，因水面开阔而被戏称为“博罗的海”。环湖路全长 27 公里，只允许非机动车行驶，平日里骑单车、摩托车和徒步者众多。因现有驿站不多而缺乏停留休憩之所。

Fenggu Rest Stop is situated in the woods on the slope next to the lake-circling road, facing the reservoir across the road. The original site consisted of two terraced platforms excavated on the slope. On the lower terrace, there were two simple light-steel houses, with a two-meter height difference from the lake-circling road, connected by a set of steps. The upper terrace had a crudely dug flood diversion ditch to handle mountain torrents. The forest was dense, partially obscuring the two-level terraces.

凤谷驿选址在环湖路旁山坡上的树林里，隔路与水库湖面相望。场地原貌为坡上开挖的两层台地。下层台地上坐落着两间轻钢简易房屋，与环湖路有两米高差，通过一部台阶与之相连。上层台地有草草开挖的泄洪沟承接山洪。树林茂密，对两级台地遮遮掩掩。

Following the Terrain: A Green Palm Flowing Towards the Water

Looking back, the entire design process was about following the natural contours. To preserve all the trees and minimize earthwork excavation, the existing two-level terraces were utilized, replacing the simple houses on the lower terrace with the new rest stop building. The hardened ground previously used for the simple structures led to a loss of green patches in the forest, which was then mended through roof planting—the green roof seems to grow out of the earth, seamlessly connecting with the greenery of the upper terrace, resembling a green palm flowing from the hillside towards the water. The dense forest obstructed the view of Fenggu Rest Stop towards the lake and also concealed it from the lake-circling road. Thus, the five fingers of the palm extend through the gaps in the trees towards the water, forming viewing platforms for the lake at varying angles, and making the forest rest stop more easily noticeable to cyclists. The palm's center is arched to provide sufficient clear height for the small structure below; the fingertips droop to avoid low-hanging branches.

顺势而为：向着水面流动的绿色手掌

回想起来，整个设计的过程就是顺势而为。为了保留所有的树木和减少土方开挖，可以继续利用原有的两层台地，把在下层台地上的简易房屋替换为新建的驿站建筑即可。之前为了修建简易用房硬化地面，损失了山林绿色斑块，那就通过屋面种植来织补 —— 覆绿的屋顶如同从土地中生长出来一般，与上层台地的山林绿意顺接，像是山坡向着水面流动的绿色手掌。茂密的树林阻碍了凤谷驿的观湖视野，也遮挡了从环湖路观看凤谷驿的视线，那就让手掌的五指从树林的缝隙间探向水面，形成角度不一的观湖挑台，并使骑行者更容易注意到林间驿站的存在。手掌掌心拱起，为下部的小房子提供净高；指尖下垂，以避让低矮的树杈分支。

Generally, designs that avoid trees rely heavily on precise topographic surveys of the tree locations. However, because the site is within a military exercise area, we anticipated that satellite mapping would be inaccurate. Therefore, the palm was designed with flexible, small broken lines, similar to a freehand sketch, to allow for easy adjustments during construction if discrepancies with the survey arose, without significantly affecting the schedule. It was later confirmed that there were indeed significant errors even after two surveys, necessitating substantial plan modifications during construction.

<一般来说，避让树木的设计项目很依赖树木地形的精准定位测绘，但由于场地在军事演习区域内，我们预判卫星测绘难以精准，就把手掌设计成是如手绘一般的灵活小折线，这样在施工时遇到与测绘不符的情况就能方便调整方案而不过度影响工期。事后证明确实出现了经过两次测绘仍有较大误差、施工期间大幅修改方案的情况。

Fenggu Rest Stop is defined as a cycling station, where all paths are either cyclable or at least allow for pushing a bike. People can ride up onto the roof or wander up and down, in and out, among the trees. Since the retained steps were not suitable for cycling, dedicated cycle paths were constructed on both the left and right sides from the lake-circling road, weaving through the woods to connect to the terraces.

凤谷驿被定义为自行车驿站，所有的路径都可以骑行或者至少方便推车。人们可以骑着车上屋顶，也可以在树林间上上下下、钻进钻出地漫游。保留的台阶不便于骑行，那就从环湖路左右各修一条单车道穿梭树林连接台地。

In the Chinese perspective on mountain and water landscapes, "Shi" (势 - potential energy or momentum) is a crucial concept, viewed as the sinews of the earth and the meridians of nature, embodying the direction, spirit, and inherent vitality of the mountains and rivers. Therefore, "following the terrain" or "letting nature take its course" not only describes the design process but also the symbiotic relationship between Fenggu Rest Stop and nature. It is about mending rather than destroying, continuing rather than interrupting, using the five fingers as a green canopy, guiding the forest flow towards the water.

在中国人审视山水地貌的眼光里，“势”是一个重要的概念，它被视为大地的筋骨与自然的经脉，蕴含着山川的走向、气韵与内在生命力。因此“顺势而为”或者“顺其自然”，不仅是形容设计过程，也描述着凤谷驿和自然共生的关系。织补而非破坏，延续而非打断，以五指作绿棚，引导着山林向水流动。

A Roadside Tea Shelter Where One Can Go to the Roof to See the "Sea"

The rest stop resembles a traditional roadside tea shelter, welcoming passersby to sit down for a cup of coffee. The small house underneath the canopy houses the coffee preparation area and restrooms. The small house has five carved-out openings and five niches: a coffee sales window, a door, a skylight, an outdoor sink, and adjacent niches for sculpture and the air conditioning unit. Hooks are installed on the wall for hanging cyclists' bikes. This is a small house like a Swiss Army knife.

能上屋顶看“海”的道旁茶棚

驿站像传统的道旁茶棚，欢迎过路人坐下喝一杯咖啡。棚下的小房子是咖啡操作间和卫生间。小小的房子掏出了五个洞口和五个龛，分别是：咖啡售卖窗口、门、天窗、户外洗手池，相互紧挨着的放雕塑的和放空调外机的龛。墙上有挂钩，能挂骑行者的自行车。这是一个像瑞士军刀般的小房子。

Following the new cycle path through the woods from the lake-circling road leads to the lower terrace and the small house. After buying coffee, one can cycle all the way up to the roof to gaze at the reservoir from the fingertips of the green palm. The art installation "Tentacles" takes root on the lower platform, extending upwards above the roof like a fishing rod. Visitors sitting on it can sway with the "tentacles," interacting with the grass, trees, and sky in a playful manner.

从环湖路沿着新修的单车道穿梭树林，抵达下层台地和小房子，买了咖啡还可以一路骑着车上屋顶，在绿手掌的指尖眺望水库。艺术装置“触手”，在下层平台生根，像钓竿一般延伸至屋顶之上。游客坐在上面随着“触手”晃动，以一种游戏的方式和草地、树林、天空互动。

Thanks to the shade and the breeze by the lake, even in Guangdong in June, it is comfortable to stay on the green palm. Sitting on the "Tentacles" watching the seamless view of the lake and sky is enough to make one drowsy. If it rains or more sun protection is needed, one can sit under the canopy. The soil-covered roof keeps the area under the canopy cool and pleasant. Under the canopy are the folding chairs and stacking tables designed by us, which are large, comfortable, and easy to store, colored in the official theme color of "Sixteen Pleasures." There are also benches paved with pink tiles, following folk wisdom for cool and comfortable seating.

感谢树荫的庇护和湖边的风，即使是广东的六月天，绿手掌上也待得住，坐在“触手”上看着湖天一色舒服得昏昏欲睡。若是遇上下雨或有更高的防晒需求，可以来棚下坐，覆土的屋面使棚下凉爽宜人。棚下有我们设计的折叠椅和堆叠桌，宽大好坐又便于收纳，配色是“十六乐事”的官方主题色。还有铺着粉色瓷砖的长凳，学习民间智慧，坐着清凉舒适。

Responding to Multiple Traditions

Imagining that South China tigers might still roam in the remote forest, building a tiger-skin wall might also fit the theme of a forest rest stop... Fenggu Rest Stop’s tiger-skin wall is not as ornate as traditional palace walls, nor does it lose its spirit while mimicking the retaining walls rapidly built in recent decades—even the drawn circles and stone seams do not correspond. In fact, the grouting of the tiger-skin wall possesses a modern aesthetic of planar composition; after balancing construction time and the artisans' skills, emphasizing this beauty is sufficient.

回应多重传统

幻想着人迹罕至的森林里或还有华南虎出没，那砌虎皮墙可能也算是贴合着森林驿站的主题……凤谷驿的虎皮墙不像传统宫墙那么雕琢，也不像近几十年快速建造的挡土墙那样形似而神失 —— 画的圈和石缝甚至都不对应。其实虎皮墙的勾缝很有现代平面构成的美感，在平衡工期和师傅手艺后，强调这种美感就足够。

There are other delightful small details: each fingertip of the green palm has a small cap, which is the roof's drainage outlet; under the steps leading to the roof, large-leaf grass grows wildly like a waterfall; the marble mosaic guide lines embedded in the terrazzo steps are a traditional practice, existing at least since the Republic of China era, though not specifically researched. Dry-stacked stone and terrazzo are also materials and methods popularly seen in old parks. There is a mix of tradition and the contemporary: equipping the coffee operation room with an air curtain and a galvanized iron rolling shutter, and using easy-to-clean patterned tiles for the interior walls of the two rooms—not viewing this as ugly, but appreciating their affordability, usability, and grounded nature... There are also some regrets; the original steel mesh ribbed ceiling was intended to be painted red, like plastic products, while the spindle-shaped columns were to be wrapped with hemp rope, resembling toothpicks. The red plastic stools and toothpicks were hoped to elicit a knowing smile from lovers of Guangdong's outdoor eateries...

还有一些可供玩味的小细节：绿手掌的每个指尖都有个小指甲盖，那是屋面的排水口；通往屋顶的楼梯踏步下，大叶油草疯长的像瀑布一样；水磨石台阶上镶嵌的大理石马赛克提示线是传统做法，没考据过但至少民国就有了；干粘石水磨石当然也是老公园里喜闻乐见的材料做法。有传统也有当下，给咖啡操作间装上空调帘和镀锌铁卷闸门，两个房间内部搞上易清洁的瓷砖拼花墙面，不以为丑，而喜其便宜好用接地气……也有一些遗憾，原本的钢网格肋梁顶是打算刷成红色的，就像塑料制品一样，而梭形柱缠上麻绳则像牙签。红色塑料凳和牙签，本希望能引起广东大排档爱好者们的会心一笑……

Before Fenggu Rest Stop officially opened, a group of motorcycle uncles arrived with their tea sets for a gathering. Listening to the uncles loudly playing "Stupid Kid," besides envying their affluent, leisurely, and tasteful lifestyle, we also hoped that we truly added some characteristics to Fenggu Rest Stop that are both local and universal. In reality, the more local something is, the more universal it becomes.

凤谷驿还没正式营业，就有摩托车阿叔组团骑着摩托车，带着茶具来喝茶了。听着阿叔们大音量外放的《笨小孩》，除了羡慕他们有钱有闲有品味的生活外，也希望我们确实给凤谷驿增添了一些既在地又普世的特质。在真实的前提下，越是地方的，就越是世界的。
