Client: Sugar House Yangshuo

The structure and space of the Fire Pit Tower 2020 are simple and ingenious. Four wooden rods joint in the middle of each piece forms a stable group, works as the structural prototype of the tower. Three groups superimposed from top to bottom, with a fire pit, as a damper for the structure, suspended at the end of a steel cable that runs through the center of the 3 groups. The three sets of dark grey textile cover the skeleton and work as roofs for people to rest under, further, the textile avoid people to obtain the structure directly, instead a walk-in experience is necessary before understanding the structure.
