This impressive new museum in China’s Shandong Province cuts a sleek profile on a lake, bringing water directly to the doorstep of the visitor.
The long, linear form feels elegant and simple, but brings enough thoughtful architectural to create something truly special.
Designed by Japanese architect Junya Ishigami, the Zaishui Art Museum features a thin concrete roof and large, repeated windows that give impressive views of the lake.
Intentional gaps in the windows allow water to actually flow into parts of the interior, bridging inside and out, and creating a unique experience. Take a look below to see how the lake enters part of the museum’s interior.
The long linear shape means visitors will get their steps in while visiting, as well.
