The site is located in the area beside the Dushu Lake, which has the most beautiul views in the Advanced Edu-
cation Park. The arrangement o the interace between lake and land and the harmony between built area and
nature are the most crucial problems in design.
The water gives the impressions o lightness, uidity and grace.
The lake also shows amplitude and waves.

The site o this project is in a deserted quarry in the west o
Kelleys Island, OH.
The big basin which is the result o the quarrying activities is
now lled with water and orms a small lake. The site is a pen-
insula extruding into the lake. The whole lake is surrounded
by thick orest.
The views in the site illustrate the passion o the nature. The
overlaps and intersections o the layers o the limestone is the
ispiration o my design. I want to create a building which has
both the similar appearance o the limestones and the over-
laps o the internal spaces.

The sequence o internal spaces is based on the sequence
o water areas. The 4th level contains the unctions o
check-in, changing and observation. The 3rd level is the
outdoor swimming pool, which is the highest water level
than alls to the children swimming pool on the 2nd level.The water in the children swimming pool nally alls down
to the main internal swimming pool on the 1st level.
