涟漪之上，水岸新生

在苏州吴江 24.4 公里的东太湖生态岸线上，S 湾以水为脉串联起生态肌理与城市活力。东太湖S湾3号驿站作为区域十大驿站体系的重要节点，采用政府基建先行、招商运营前置、设计精细化落地的三方协同模式：政府完成主体结构与基础配套建设后，依托招商引入本土成熟咖啡品牌NAPAN CAFE；运营方结合滨水商业、骑行服务、公共休憩的多元场景痛点，提出针对性改造诉求；设计团队再以场地文脉为基底，以实际运营逻辑为核心，通过系统性建筑改造，重塑建筑与太湖、城市、人群的三重关系，以极简克制的建筑语言回应太湖文脉。更以运营前置、社群共参的创新逻辑，为城市滨水驿站的开发模式提供全新思考。

Along the 24.4 km ecological shoreline of East Tai Lake in Wujiang, Suzhou, S-Bay uses water as its central thread, weaving together ecological fabric and urban vitality. As a key node in the region’s ten-station system, Station No. 3 at S-Bay adopts a tripartite collaborative model of government-led infrastructure, operation-led pre-development, and design-driven fine detailing: the government completes the main structure and basic facilities, then introduces local mature coffee brand NAPAN CAFE through investment promotion; the operator proposes targeted renovation requirements based on pain points in diverse scenarios such as waterfront commerce, cycling services, and public rest; the design team, grounded in site context and operational logic, carries out systematic architectural renovation to reshape the threefold relationship between architecture, Tai Lake, the city, and people, responding to the region’s heritage with minimal and restrained architectural language. Through operation-led planning and community participation, the project offers a new paradigm for the development of urban waterfront stations.

01场地叙事：以湖为底，重构建筑场地关系

原有驿站建筑形体方正、界面相对内敛，建筑体量与东太湖舒展的水岸肌理之间缺乏呼应；开窗比例、立面秩序及外部动线主要围绕基础休憩功能设计，面对当下复合型滨水生活场景的需求，尚有进一步提升的余地。本次改造不采用大拆大建的方式，而是以轻量化表皮更新、结构性形体优化、场景化空间重构为核心策略，最大程度保留原有结构体系，通过建筑界面的焕新，有效柔化建筑的硬质体量感。

The original station building is square in form and relatively restrained in its interface, yet its volume does not fully resonate with the expansive waterfront texture of East Tai Lake. The window proportions, facade order, and external circulation were mainly designed for basic rest functions, leaving room for improvement in addressing the demands of today’s composite waterfront living scenarios. Instead of large-scale demolition and reconstruction, this renovation adopts lightweight facade renewal, structural optimization, and spatial reconfiguration as its core strategies, preserving the original structural system as much as possible. Through the renewal of the architectural interface, the building’s rigid mass is effectively softened.

设计萃取太湖“涟漪”的动态场地特质，将自然水文的动态韵律转化为建筑的静态秩序。以太湖水面波纹的扩散层次、渐变节奏、柔化边界为设计原型，重构建筑沿街立面与滨湖界面的视觉逻辑，让建筑形体的进退、线条的疏密、窗洞的大小，呼应水岸波纹的波峰与波谷，实现建筑体量与自然场地的共生对话，打破原有建筑沉闷内敛的特质。

The design extracts the dynamic site character of Tai Lake’s “ripples,” transforming the natural rhythm of water into a static architectural order. Using the diffusion layers, gradual rhythm, and softened edges of lake ripples as a design prototype, the visual logic of the street-facing and lake-facing facades is restructured. The advances and recesses of the building form, the density of lines, and the size of openings all respond to the peaks and troughs of the shoreline waves, achieving a symbiotic dialogue between architectural volume and natural site,breaking the dull and introverted character of the original building.

02 立面设计：情绪化表皮，模块化渐变构造体系

跳出传统建筑立面“装饰附属”的思维，将表皮定义为建筑情绪的媒介、场地动线的引导、空间内外的过渡载体，实现功能性、视觉性、叙事性的统一。设计团队运用AIGC技术推演：针对滨水光影、气候环境、城市界面三大维度，模拟数十套色彩搭配与肌理组合方案。从充满活力的亮色系至温润中性色系，从哑光肌理至微亮金属质感，反复比对不同晨昏时段、四季光影下的立面呈现效果，规避传统手工推演的试错成本，筛选出适配太湖天光水色、契合城市沿街风貌的最优立面方案，保证建筑融入场地且具备独特辨识度。另一方面，联动小红书发起公众配色投票，将专业设计判断与大众审美偏好结合，让社群深度参与设计决策。这一模式，既把控公共空间的公众适配性，又提前完成项目传播预热，实现设计决策、公众参与与品牌曝光的三重价值。

Redefining the building skin as a medium for architectural emotion, a guide for movement, and a transitional interface, the design integrates function, vision, and narrative. Using AIGC, the team simulated dozens of color and texture combinations across waterfront light, climate, and urban context — from bright to neutral tones, matte to subtle metallic finishes — and selected the optimal scheme that responds to Tai Lake’s sky and water while ensuring a distinct identity. A public color vote was also launched on Xiaohongshu, combining professional judgment with public preference. This approach ensures public adaptability, generates early exposure, and achieves triple value in design decision-making, community participation, and brand visibility.

立面窗框和入口空间采用48块超耐候定制金属板模块化拼接体系，是兼顾艺术表达与工程落地的关键设计。设计团队将完整的涟漪渐变图案，根据建筑立面转角、窗洞分割、形体进退的结构逻辑，拆解为48块独立板材。每一块板材均拥有专属的色彩参数、渐变幅度与尺寸规格；严格控制分割精度，确保单块板材独立成景，整体拼接后形成连续、流动的涟漪视觉，完美复刻湖水触岸、层层晕开的动态韵律。同时，超耐候金属板具备12年以上耐候性，适配苏州太湖沿岸高湿、高紫外线的气候条件。

The facade window frames and entrance space use a modular assembly of 48 ultra-durable custom metal panels, a key design balancing artistic expression and engineering execution. The team decomposed the complete ripple gradient pattern into 48 independent panels based on the structural logic of corners, window divisions, and volumetric recesses. Each panel has its own color parameters, gradient amplitude, and dimensions; strict division precision ensures each panel stands alone as an image, while together they form a continuous, fluid ripple visual, perfectly recreating the dynamic rhythm of lake water spreading outward layer by layer. The ultra-durable metal panels offer over 12 years of weather resistance, suitable for the humid, high-UV climate along the Tai Lake shore.

暖黄、橙红的暖调板块集中于入口与沿街展示面，强化建筑的公共开放性与烟火活力，引导人流趋近；蓝紫冷调板块分布于立面两侧与高处，叠加金属哑光肌理，赋予建筑沉静的几何深度。冷暖渐变的交替过渡，打破了现代建筑纯理性的冰冷秩序，让建筑表皮拥有随光影变化的动态情绪。

Warm yellow and orange-red tones are concentrated at the entrance and street-facing displays, enhancing the building’s public openness and vibrant energy, guiding people closer. Cool blue-violet tones are distributed on the sides and upper parts, combined with matte metallic textures, giving the building a quiet geometric depth. The warm-to-cool gradient transition breaks the purely rational, cold order of modern architecture, giving the building skin a dynamic mood that changes with light.

03 形体与开窗：虚实交织，重塑光影建筑

依托原有建筑结构框架，设计通过体块穿插与虚实重构，重塑建筑的立体层次。依据涟漪波峰与波谷的节奏，沿立面错落排布大小不一的门窗洞口，形成自由且有序的虚实关系，强化了建筑形体的进退感与光影层次。

Based on the original structural framework, the design reshapes the building’s three-dimensional hierarchy through massing interpenetration and solid-void reconstruction. Following the rhythm of ripple peaks and troughs, door and window openings of varying sizes are arranged in a staggered manner along the facade, forming a free yet ordered solid-void relationship that enhances the sense of recession and protrusion as well as the play of light and shadow across the building form.

大面积全景玻璃幕墙的介入，消解了建筑的实体墙体比重，将太湖的绿植、波光、天际线最大限度引入室内，实现空间景观的双向渗透。日间，自然光通过错落窗洞涌入室内，在墙面、地面形成流动的光影涟漪；傍晚，室内灯光外溢，让建筑成为水岸之上的发光载体，昼夜呈现截然不同的建筑气质。建筑转角处的弧形收边设计，弱化硬质直角的尖锐感，延续水波的柔和曲线，让整体形体更贴合滨水场地的灵动特质。

The introduction of large panoramic glass curtain walls reduces the proportion of solid walls, bringing the greenery, shimmering water, and skyline of Tai Lake maximally indoors, achieving two-way spatial-landscape penetration. During the day, natural light floods through the scattered openings, creating flowing light ripples on walls and floors. At night, interior light spills out, turning the building into a luminous carrier above the water, presenting a completely different architectural temperament between day and night. The curved edge detailing at corners softens the sharpness of right angles, continuing the gentle curve of water waves, making the overall form more attuned to the dynamic character of the waterfront site.

04 空间逻辑：涟漪式扩散，适配复合使用场景

建筑内部空间延续外部“涟漪扩散”的核心设计逻辑。一层作为公共核心层，采用开放式通透布局，将咖啡吧台、轻食操作区、骑行装备展示区、户外摆台区整合为一体，动线清晰、动静分区。无遮挡的空间设计，适配客流集散、休闲打卡、装备体验等多元场景，兼顾商业服务效率与公共休憩属性。

The interior space continues the core design logic of “ripple diffusion.” The first floor serves as the public core layer, with an open, transparent layout integrating coffee bar, light food prep area, cycling gear display, and outdoor terrace, with clear circulation and zoning. The unobstructed space accommodates diverse scenarios such as visitor flow, social media check-ins, and equipment experiences, balancing commercial service efficiency with public rest functions.

二层作为静谧观景层，核心卡座区同样以弧线语言呼应外立面的水韵主题。顶面垂挂绿色植物，回应自然生态基调，落地玻璃界面最大化释放湖景视野，打造沉浸式滨湖观景空间。分层式的空间架构，让建筑同时承载公共活力与静谧休闲两种场景，实现小体量建筑的功能多维化。

The second floor is a tranquil viewing level. The main seating area uses curved forms echoing the water-themed facade. Hanging green plants on the ceiling respond to the natural ecological tone, while floor-to-ceiling glass maximizes lake views, creating an immersive waterfront observation space. This layered spatial framework allows the building to accommodate both public vitality and quiet relaxation, achieving functional multi-dimensionality within a small volume.

05 功能适配：运动驿站赋能，回应骑行场景

深度结合骑行驿站的专业属性，将运动服务空间与商业休闲空间有机整合、分区共生。一层前场开放空间预留专属骑行装备展示、车辆停放、装备补给区域，适配单车租赁、车辆检修、装备收纳等专业运动功能，超大外摆空间可承接骑行社群集结、运动打卡、团队休整等场景，匹配24.4km太湖岸线骑行动线的中转需求。落地“运动+休闲+观景”的复合型滨水建筑定位，从单一休憩空间升级为承载多元生活方式的活力枢纽。

Deeply integrating the professional attributes of a cycling station, the design organizes sports service spaces and commercial leisure spaces in an integrated yet zoned coexistence. The open front area on the first floor is reserved for dedicated cycling gear display, bike parking, and equipment supply zones, accommodating professional functions such as bike rental, repair, and gear storage. The generous outdoor terrace can host cycling community gatherings, activity check-ins, and team breaks, serving the stopover needs of the 24.4 km Tai Lake cycling route. This realizes the composite waterfront positioning of “sports + leisure + viewing,” transforming the station from a single-purpose rest space into a vibrant hub that supports diverse lifestyles.

建筑外部平整开阔的滨湖场地与入户动线，适配大批量骑行人群、车辆快速集散，无高差、无阻碍的通达式设计与户外草坪、滨湖骑行道无缝衔接，形成“骑行道—驿站功能区—湖畔休闲区”的流畅动线，骑行人群可快速完成运动休整、咖啡补给、露营休憩的场景切换。

The flat, open waterfront area and entrance circulation outside the building allow for rapid gathering and dispersal of large numbers of cyclists and bikes. The step-free, unobstructed access seamlessly connects with the outdoor lawn and lakeside cycling path, forming a smooth sequence of “cycling path – station zone – lakeside leisure area,” enabling cyclists to quickly switch between sport rest, coffee replenishment, and camping relaxation.
