Entry Description

The Yohoo Museum, a new cultural building on Hangzhou's Yohoo Lake, is defined by its double-ring structure inspired by ancient jade. Designed by Aedas, the building appears to float via a steel frame, with translucent "emerald glass" façades combining crystal clarity and jade-like warmth. Its circular courtyards and celebrated undulating roof honor Liangzhu heritage, while creating a vibrant public realm with leisure spaces, social hubs, and panoramic views.
