“我对黄山太平湖的印象一直就是模糊的，每次去她都呈现出不同的景色，因此她对我来说有几分神秘。像极了古代的山水画，从来不写实和临摹，一切都是随心和想象。模糊的感觉是充满诗意的，看不清，看不懂，所以经常会有人对着层层叠叠的山和水发呆。他们不仅仅是在看景，他们也看到了自己，和生活在大城市中的自己不一样。”

“The impression we have of Taiping Lake in Huangshan is vague: each visit to this place yields different views, different impressions. It is a bit mysterious, like ancient Shanshui landscape paintings that are never based on realism, but rather, the imagination. This inexplicable feeling is always poetic; it is obscure and indistinct.

This is the basic idea: we hope that residents will not just look at the scenery, but see themselves in relation to this environment, attention that is brought inward. In observing oneself, one perhaps begins to notice a different self than the one present in the city.” 

—— 马岩松/Ma Yansong

        黄山及“世界文化遗产”宏村、西递古镇，以浓厚朴实的人文气息以及优美宁谧的自然环境而为世界所熟知。由马岩松带领的MAD建筑事务所设计的黄山太平湖公寓，已于今年建成使用。

Huangshan, located near the ancient villages of Hongcun and Xidi in China’s Anhui province, is home to one of the country’s most beautiful mountains. Known for its rich verdant scenery and distinct granite peaks, the beloved landscape has long inspired artists, offering them sheltered spaces for contemplation and reflection. As a UNESCO Heritage Site, the humanistic atmosphere and beautiful, tranquil environment has become an increasingly popular tourist destination. It is here that MAD Architects, led by Ma Yansong, has realized “Huangshan Mountain Village”.

        黄山太平湖公寓是MAD所设计的黄山太平湖旅游区整体规划的一部分，所在地原为布满茶田的小山丘，曲径通幽，依太平湖而立，山水之间，有着诗人画家曾经有的诗句和画中的意境，是人在自然中感受的一种精神境界。MAD的设计将10栋高矮不一的建筑，沿着湖边错落有致地自然地散落在太平湖边的山脊上，就像是山的一部分，因山势而缓缓“生长”。每栋公寓楼不一的建筑外形及公寓楼间不一的水平高度差，发生了有趣但和谐的呼应，整体就像是山间依山而立的竖向排布的村庄。建筑在山水中，与天地自然融为一体。

MAD’s scheme is part of a larger tourism masterplan for Huangshan Taiping Lake. While providing the conveniences of modern living, the design affirms the significance of this culturally important mountain range. Composed in deference to the local topography, each of the buildings are diverse in height and appearance, and have been conceived to ensure that the original mountain levels are maintained. Organized in a linked configuration across the southern slope of Taiping Lake, the dynamic relationship that is created among the ten buildings establishes a new type of village landscape: one where architecture becomes nature, and nature dissolves into architecture.

        十栋依山傍湖的建筑中，房间均面向湖光美景以及远处的绵延群山。建筑每层阳台有机流动的线条，依据所在地山丘原有的等高线而设计，每处线条都是唯一，这是建筑跟地形最好的结合。宽阔的阳台将公寓内部空间延伸到室外，人们置身其中，像是真正生活在大自然里一样，随时可与山、湖、天、地对话。建筑与建筑之间由自然景观、廊子和步道小径连接在一起，人们在其中既可缓步至湖边小码头，也可登高望远。山、水、天、地，如幻、模糊却尽是真实。

The apartments that comprise “Huangshan Mountain Village” have all been envisioned as quiet retreats. Each one boasts an expansive balcony whose organic lines respond to the topographic contours of the immediate mountainous terrain. With their shape informed by the tea fields nearby, they appear as if they have been sculpted by wind and water, with no two the same. Extending the interior to the exterior, they provide plenty of outdoor space, giving residents the feeling that they are not just observers of the scenery that surrounds them, but actually immersed within it ─ creating a dialogue with the mountains, lake, and sky. Pathways have been determined by the landscape, so that they naturally meander through the trees and between the architecture, offering unique access to the treasured site.

        自然，是人们心里对当今居住环境的期望。作为马岩松提出的“山水城市”设计理念的最新建成实践，黄山太平湖公寓以另一个维度去探讨住宅的不同可能性——在自然环境中的建筑，应该是人对自然和环境的情感抒发。

Instinctively growing out of the mountainous landscape, the serene design sensibility of the village is reflected in its natural setting. It offers a new type of vertical living that while architecturally complimenting the surrounding forest, also enhances the levels of comfort and well-being of its inhabitants, establishing a synergy between humans, nature, and the local culture.

In its completion, “Huangshan Mountain Village” is a true expression of Ma Yansong’s “Shanshui City” philosophy. The intention has not been to create architecture that references forms of nature, such as mountains and water, but instead to establish a space where people can reconnect with nature on a spiritual level ─ to create architecture that evokes emotion and that embodies humanity’s pursuit for inner fulfillment.
