The Sansusi Forest Food Court is located in a peaceful area within the Sansusi forest. It serves as a community dining space, focusing on the relationship between the building and its natural surroundings. The design concept revolves around rhythm, inspired by the shapes and movements of birch trees. The goal is to blend the structure with the landscape in a way that feels natural and inviting.

Architectural Concept

The design carefully considers ecological impact while ensuring practical functionality. Caterer's workspaces are positioned to avoid interference with the birch trees in the eating area. This thoughtful placement promotes sustainability and supports operational needs without disturbing the environment. As a result, visitors can enjoy their meals in harmony with nature.

Spatial Arrangement

The layout of the eating areas encourages interaction among diners. Tables and benches are arranged in a way that reflects the rhythmic patterns of the surrounding forest, enhancing the dining experience. This connection between the built environment and natural elements helps visitors to engage with the space and fosters a sense of community.

Material Selection

Materials chosen for the food court include steel bolts (M6), float glass (t=7), lumber (64x140), round steel bars (M6), concrete sub-slab, and steel pipes (P20). These materials were selected for their strength and suitability for the environment. The integration of these materials supports the overall design while ensuring that the structure remains durable and functional.

One focal point is the design of interconnected spaces that encourage movement and interaction. This setup reflects a dedication to creating a welcoming atmosphere. It supports both social engagement and a mindful connection with the natural world, underscoring the project's thoughtful approach to blending food, community, and nature.
