Text description provided by the architects. Erhai Lake Ecological Corridor in Dali aims to establish a healthy water-land buffer zone and ecological barrier, expanding the lake’s interactive interface for the residents and tourists.

The Jiapeng village service station is located along the south part of the corridor, occupying a triangular-shaped site. The building responds to the curvature of the corridor with a 80-meter-long concrete wall and creates a boundary between inside and outside.

Inside this boundary, the site is divided into three layers: a cafeteria in the middle, a plaza to the north, and a sunken courtyard to the south.

Outside of this boundary, the rise and fall of the profile of this curved boundary echoes and even arouses a sense of speed when cyclists and joggers pass by.
