Design Philosophy and Execution:
The project features a series of Modernist towers housing compact apartments, surrounded by a thoughtful array of public spaces comprising gardens, play fields, plazas, and leisure areas. The architectural strategy involved a careful zoning of high-rise structures to distinguish public and private spaces, complemented by low-rise community-focused buildings including a sports center, restaurant with beer garden, and a retail area.

The landscape design is noteworthy for its strategic use of patterns to delineate different zones. Public areas are adorned with a distinct ‘+’ pattern, replicated in custom light poles and movable benches, while peripheral zones blend paving and hedge planting through a plaid grid. A variety of pathways, each marked by unique linear patterns, seamlessly connect these zones.

Integrative Water Feature:
A linear water feature at the eastern retail entrance guides visitors through the courtyard to the beer garden, culminating at a mirrored wall with lighting effects. This water line extends across the lawn, ending at a striking glass block structure.

Recognition and Impact:
This prestigious project has garnered attention from government leaders across Asia, becoming a model for affordable, healthy, and enjoyable living. It has been awarded “Best Apartment of the Year” in Shanghai, triumphing over 75 new developments, including luxury service apartments.
