Planned on two lots of the Changliu Masterplan, this residential community is an example of comprehensive neighborhood design. The program consists of 10, 30 story residential towers and podiums creating a retail street. The retail street, is carefully designed as a distinct vibrant urban environment, while stitching the two sites together with a community connector giving direct access to tropical gardens surrounding the towers. Thus, both sites through architectural expression, landscaping and planning feel as one neighborhood, with a strong individual identity. Hainan residential communities have traditionally  screen enclosed verandas and patios, expressed within a minimalist functional framework. The architecture explores the application of this local archetype on a high-rise program.
