The liquor culture experience center of Langjiu estate in Luzhou is a tribute to nature.
Located at the top of the mountain, the building is completely buried. It hides underground to keep intact the breathtaking view of the sky and the mountains in the distance.
Two mirrors amplify and magnify the landscape: above, the water mirror which doubles the real sky and creates infinity. Below, floating on a mysterious archaeology, the ceiling reflects an artificial constellations created by the suspended lamps which at night are superimposed on the stars in the reflections of the facades.
