ZJJZ Architecture Practice is a Shanghai-based architecture studio that has completed a mushroom-formed wood house in a pine forest of Jiangxi in China. A wooden house in the forest, named ‘The Mushroom’ is a structure that is located in a pine forest of Jiangxi, creating a relationship between nature and architecture, which is the essential approach of ZJJZ Architecture Practice.
The wood
house, covering a 50-square-meter area is composed of two simple volumes. The
main volume is used for a guest room space and forms the mushroom itself, with
a panoramic window set up near the viewing height. The guests are immersed
in the surrounding nature when leaning on the bed or sitting on chairs.
Linked by
the small-scale stairs, the loft serves as a child area. The pure white cone-shaped roof is rounded on top which creates a sense of unbounded extension to
the space. The storage space and bathroom are both arranged in a simple
rectangular volume, which is then inserted into the main body of the mushroom
part. Avoiding the view from the pedestrian path to ensure privacy, there
is a horizontal window designed next to the bathtub, while also bringing nature
into the space.
There is also a circular skylight at the top that introduces different
expressions of shadows and light with the change of weather and time. This
space also serves as a space where the guests often visit and linger, which can
also be called the entrance lobby of the house.
To minimize
the impact of construction on the site, the mushroom part of the house is
raised on a steel structure. ZJJZ
Architecture Practice said that as time goes by, green plants on the ground
will gradually spread to embrace the building.
The roof which
is cone-shaped is clad in pine woods and the rest of the house is coated with
granolithic concrete. The material changes its color with time and humidity, which
allows the building to go in harmony with the surrounding natural environment.
The Mushroom house is located in a pine forest handling the relationship between nature and architecture became the essential approach of their design. The architectural form of the Mushroom is composed according to the functions into two simple volumes. The main part of the mushroom has a panoramic window set up near the viewing height which is the guest room space.
To minimize the impact of construction on the site, the mushroom house
has a lifted steel structure. Green plants on the ground will gradually spread
to embrace the building, as time goes by. The cone-shaped roof is cladded with
pine woods, and the rest of the house is coated with granolithic concrete.

Practice is a wood
guest house topped with a cone-shaped roof. The 50 sqm mushroom
house adopts a lifted steel structure to minimize the impact of construction on
the site, and the rest of the house is coated with granolithic concrete and its
roof clad in pinewood shingles.
Maintaining a relationship
between nature and architecture became an essential approach to their
design, says ZJJZ
Architecture Practice. The Mushroom is composed of two simple volumes which are a circular
volume and a rectangular volume that are developed to serve the functions
housed inside. The main part of the building is the circular volume which is the
guest room space, which features a panoramic window that immerses visitors in
the surrounding nature. The simple rectangular volume is inserted into the main
body of the Mushroom part that encloses the bathroom and storage space.
