Located in Zhuhai, China, this development contains 320,000 sf of residential, 230,000 sf of office, and 20,000 sf of retail. Our goal was to maximize areas of green space and water features to create a strong connection with nature while in an urban environment.
One of the most exciting, design inspiring aspects of this project was the waterfront location. Hengqin Island is rapidly expanding with many residential towers being erected simultaneously. We were tasked with developing a monumental selling point for our client’s buyers. With the waterfront, views, and local weather, we developed 3 key design components that serve to set these residences apart.
Firstly, our towers are designed with consideration to the potential users’ daily life. Hengqin Island is an up and coming development project. Our client’s will be utilizing the center tower and leasing the larger 2 towers for residences and office space. We developed the design with the desire to separate work/live for renters; and connect work/live for the owners. Our sky bridge not only acts as a residential amenity, but also functions as a means of travel for those living and working on site.
The residences further set themselves apart with one key amenity. Each luxury residence comes equipped with a small lap pool. The pools are integrated with a motorized window panel system that allows residents to experience an open-air pool environment up to 90m in the air. This allows for a luxury experience and gives owner’s a truly unique viewing platform of the surrounding islands.
The final key aspect of our design was the amenities. Our design allows for privacy for residents but also proximity to various luxury amenities. The residences have access to a private pool and food/restaurant area, roof top sky bridge pool and park area, and 3 levels of luxury shopping.
