Project Overview

This project is a fascinating blend of architectural and common area space planning for a residential property. The design team has taken great care to study the local landscape and has used this knowledge to create a design influenced by the urban context and the base texture of the area. The result is a building that is perfectly suited to its surroundings. The team has utilized the unique properties of the building materials to create a building volume and façade shape that is both striking and functional. The use of natural light and shadow has been carefully considered to create a space that is both stable and elegant, while at the same time filtering out the noise and commotion of the city.

Project Brief

This has resulted in a space that is both tranquil and inviting. One of the most impressive aspects of this project is how it has been designed to integrate seamlessly into the surrounding environment. The team has shown great respect for the city's existing structure and has preserved the building's self-explanatory nature. The result is a building that presents the unique humanistic values and memories of the region in a truly remarkable way. Located at the heart of the city, this magnificent 20-story residential building boasts a unique design that combines modernity, elegance, and functionality. The building features 5 stories above ground and 5 stories below, with a sleek and stylish exterior that combines vertical high-rise volumes with medium-high brightness warm gray and beige colors. The front facade, designed as a simple frame structure with a glass balcony, creates a striking contrast through the splicing and structuring of heterogeneous materials. Inside the building, the use of glass windows and doors to "borrow the view into the room" is a masterstroke that allows the new space to echo with the existing environment.

Project Innovation/Need

The warm glow of sunlight and the refreshing breeze of air entering the room create a serene ambiance that is perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation. The open landscape of the botanical garden, visible through the glass windows and doors, is a sight to behold. The sense of penetration and depth of field created by the design is remarkable, redefining the relationship between the different areas of the building. Overall, this residential building is a masterpiece of modern architecture and design, offering a unique and luxurious living experience that is sure to exceed one’s expectations. 

Design Challenge

On an urban scale, the building utilizes uniformly dappled light to focus on the view of the roof cornice, thus highlighting the lines of the top elevation and emphasizing the vertical elements of the building. At the same time, the lighting design creates strips of light corridors for the pedestrian and street, and accentuated lighting to emphasize the building's hierarchy and aesthetics. In addition, anti-glare floor recessed lights are installed on one side of the pedestrian walkway as a route guide, and garden low lights and tree lights are installed to enhance the safety of walking at night and the comfort of resting in the garden.

Sustainability

The building's exterior landscape has been intentionally designed to create friendly and unobstructed sidewalks. Various trees and multi-layered shrubs have been planted to expand the visual image of the cityscape. The gray-toned sidewalks are made of dark and light tiles that create a sense of visual rhythm, matching the building's overall tone while adding visual depth. The indoor hall's floor also continues the building's color tone, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces and a grand, open entrance. The exterior landscape of the building has been purposely retracted to create friendly, unobstructed sidewalks, with trees and multi-layered shrubs planted to create a wider visual image of the cityscape. In particular, the gray-toned sidewalks are paved with dark and light tiles to create a sense of visual rhythm, which not only matches the overall tone of the building but also adds visual layers. At the same time, the floor of the indoor hall also continues the color tone of the building's overall stone, which not only makes the perfect connection between the interior and exterior spaces but also creates a grand and open entrance image.
