DECADE DESIGN: Winner of World Design Awards 2024. This wastewater plant is already highly automated, and we wanted to visualize the automated production process through our design, which was our starting point. The oriental garden idea is our entry point to make this sewage plant a garden factory.

Water is the core of this project. In a traditional wastewater plant, water is a hidden flow line that is difficult to visualize. We visualize the equipment pipeline, the treated clean water is presented in the form of water channels, water gardens, waterfalls and other explicit flow lines, and the architectural space is analogously designed as pavilions, corridors, bridges and so on, so that you can roam around and observe the garden-like plant and have a deeper understanding of the changes and progress of the city’s environmental protection.

DECADE DESIGN is an independent, critical, rigorous and pioneering architectural and interior/exterior space design firm. We believe that design should be centered on the state of human use, and take problem solving as the starting point for thinking, and intervene in the reconstruction of new buildings from multiple perspectives, such as architectural space, environmental relationship, people and culture. The development of urbanization has shifted the geographic location of people’s lives, and although old buildings retain the memory of the users’ lives, they have lost their vitality. We are committed to doing original design, giving new life to the space, paying attention to the relationship between the environment and people, paying attention to technical nodes, and emphasizing design services.
