设计特色：

项目 - BIG建筑事务所在中国完成了其最新项目——一座1200平方米的苏州金鸡驿09馆，通过当代设计元素重新诠释了中国传统院落建筑。这座位于苏州金鸡湖畔的建筑，既是公共集会空间，也是一处精致的休闲场所。

这座亭馆最引人注目的特色是其创新的屋顶设计，BIG将其描述为"像素化的树叶"。这个双层顶棚系统将穿孔遮阳元素与玻璃瓦片相结合，创造出精妙的光影效果，呼应周围香樟树的自然纹理。这一技术解决方案不仅提供了最佳的热工性能，还在建筑与自然之间建立起富有诗意的对话。

亭馆由四个互连的建筑单元围绕中央庭院布置，空间功能经过精心策划，包括咖啡店、精品店、餐厅和游客中心。设计通过大面积的玻璃立面和反射周围景观的抛光钢材表面，刻意打破了室内外空间的传统界限，有效地模糊了建筑形态与自然环境之间的区分。

这个项目的独特之处在于它对中国建筑元素的精妙重新诠释。传统茶馆通常使用釉面陶瓦，而BIG则用玻璃构件取而代之，将透明性的概念推向新的高度。亭馆的形态通过四个戏剧性地向上抬升的双层入口得到进一步强化，创造出引人入胜的门户空间，将访客引向以一棵独树为焦点的中央庭院。

作为金鸡湖13公里步道上11座永久性亭馆之一，这座建筑标志着BIG在苏州完成的首个项目，也是即将完工的苏州当代艺术博物馆的姊妹作品，展现了该建筑事务所将文化敏感性与当代建筑创新相融合的能力。

Feature:

Project - BIG has reimagined the traditional Chinese courtyard typology through the Jinji Lake Pavilion project. This 1,200-square-meter public structure, located along Suzhou's Jinji Lake waterfront, is one of eleven permanent pavilions designed to create a vibrant promenade in the area.

The project's most distinctive feature is its innovative "pixelated leaves" roof system. This dual-layer canopy combines perforated shading elements with glass tiles, providing optimal thermal performance while creating dappled shadow patterns reminiscent of natural foliage. The building is organized as four interconnected volumes around a courtyard, housing a coffee shop, boutique, restaurant, and visitor center.

The pavilion engages with its surroundings through generous glass facades and polished steel surfaces that reflect natural light and greenery. Four dramatically lifted double-height entrances guide visitors into the central courtyard, where a single tree serves as a tranquil focal point. This design not only pays homage to traditional Chinese teahouse architecture but elevates it through the use of contemporary materials.
