Text description provided by the architects.

This residential project includes more than 20000m2 of exquisite amenities; including branded retails, restaurants, a boutique hotel and art exhibition spaces.

 Overall Plan

本项目的概念是对我国大城市发展的重新审视。随着土地成本和人口密度的增加，住宅开发往往导致项目缺乏空间质量。

The concept of this project is a re-examination of the urban development in major cities in China. With increasing land cost and population density, residential development often resulted in projects lacking in spatial quality.

建筑师的设计意图是为了打破中国典型住宅开发的规模。建筑高度保持在15米以内，这一比例更接近人类的规模。

The design intent of the architect is an intervention to break down the scale of typical China residential developments. Building height is kept to 15m, bringing the proportion closer to the human scale.

一条绿色的大条形成了整个场地的中轴线。在这个绿色的地带，水路和绿色植物的精心结合为这个高密度城市中的这个项目创造了一个不寻常的“呼吸中心庭院”。充足的光线可以到达每一个住宅单元，居民们可以享受到宽敞的、郁郁葱葱的庭院空间，这通常只能在今天的城市之外找到。

A large green strip formed the central axis throughout the site. Careful integration of waterways and greenery in this green strip created an uncommon “breathing central courtyard” to this project located in this high-density urban city. Ample light is able to reach every residential unit and residents are able to enjoy the spacious lush green courtyard spaces, which can usually only be found outside the city today.

该项目的核心是一个艺术画廊的“桥梁”，一个超过60米长的宏伟姿态作为门槛。我们进行了严格的调查，以研究中国的屏幕，以及产生定制的模式，建筑师巧妙地包括了开发商的标志。这些屏幕用于非物质化建筑质量，并在一些地区放置战略上允许的视图，同时根据内部规划要求覆盖其余部分。

The centerpiece of the project is an art gallery “bridge”, a grand gesture over 60m long acting as the threshold. A rigorous investigation was done to study the Chinese screens, as well as to generate the customized patterns, which the architect subtly included the logo of the developer. These screens were use to dematerialize the building mass and placed strategically allowed views in some areas, while covering the rest based on the interior programmatic requirement.
