Project Innovation/Need

An average household (4 to 5 family members) needs to have an efficient and comfortable and environment to accommodate their daily activities.

Under today’s environment, family members are convinced by optimal integration of space needs and visual impact. Especially, the needs of the space for every family member are more essential to be innovated, to lift-up the value of everyone’s expectation in lifestyle. For example, the man had a rough day of work and return home to leave all the stress behind his working desk. The lady watching her kids and do housework while her kids to play/work around within the comfort zone. The kids would have their little own space to play, to study and to grow in a healthy mentality environment.

By accommodating the above needs with a novel façade design is key to maximize comfort in mind of residents.

Design Challenge

Collaboration in architecture styles (the project is designed to be three different façades) is not only a challenged but a bold attempt. The collaboration within the different façades in different zones (means different clusters of townhouses) avoid visual fatigue to the greatest extent.

The zones are named after three famous cities from different countries, with full imagination by strong links into each cities’ outstanding elements. Take an example of the zone named “New York”, the exterior design reflects the contemporary minimalist appearance from the great New York City – a simple black and white contrast façade to tell a story. Whereas on the other zone “Beijing”, reflecting the exterior with element linkage of ancient oriental dynasty – Reddish brown face brick and timber slats to compose a poem.

Most projects spent most of the time to fine detailing the façade in a single form of design. However, it is not limited to the façade to have different appearances and be grouped in a close range.

Sustainability

The project has been designed and constructed through a mixture of consideration in sustainable living, from the concept of sustainable materials to deliver an environment friendly product. Low water use fixture along with rainwater harvest are highlighted in whole hydraulic system. All appliances are delicately selected to achieve high energy efficient standard. An unforgettable point is detailed construction micro-management, which bring all concepts of sustainability from paper to reality!
