Wutopia Lab creates dreamlike minimalist forest in Huzhou
A three-petal motif is repeated as canopies, skylights and screen perforations across this ethereal landscape by Wutopia Lab, located outside a sales office in Huzhou, China.
The temporary White Upland project spans 3,296 square metres of land beside a sales centre for the Shanghai Huijian Investment Co in Zhejiang province, west of Wutopia Lab s home city Shanghai.

Studio founder, architect Yu Ting, used this opportunity to create an anti-generic space that could act as a communal place; a surreal garden where people around this neighbourhood, as well as people from Huzhou, could come to enjoy .
A proposed development could bring up to 750 new single-family homes and a farmers market to Rocky Point.
The development is proposed on approximately 301 acres of currently undeveloped farmland. The property stretches from U.S. 117 to N.C. 210.
The residential development would be made up of single family homes on lots of varying sizes. The property would also include its own wastewater treatment facility and proposes a one-acre commercial area along N.C. 210, which would be developed as a farmers market, according to documents presented to the county planning board at their November 2020 meeting.
The developer has proposed building the subdivision in three phases, starting at N.C. 210 and moving south.
