Lake Dragon Residential Development
Guangzhou, China
Lake Dragon Residential Development is a high end, low density residential project situated in Guangzhou, the centre of one of China’s most advanced commercial and manufacturing regions. The development takes its name from the nearby Nine Dragon Lake, an area of scenic and natural beauty. Phase 1 of the development creates a contemporary village environment combining European architectural elements with aspects of Chinese vernacular architecture in unique and unexpected ways. Lake Dragon comprises 206 villas and a clubhouse with a total gross floor area of 166,484 square meters. These modern two-storey and three-storey detached and semi-detached villas range from 343 square meters to over 875 square meters. In keeping with the outstanding natural beauty of the site, the guiding concept behind the project was to ensure that residents feel that they are in the “garden”, integrating open views wherever possible into the private garden of each villa or across the surrounding golf courses. The villas themselves are constructed in order to complement and blend in with the environment using stone and other materials in natural earth tones. Another unique feature of the project is the revival of the Chinese vernacular architectural model of the siheyuan, the traditional courtyard houses that still form the hutong districts of old Beijing. Large villas of over 875 square meters are designed in the form of a quadrangle with traditional courtyards and side houses, but unlike the closed, inward-looking courtyards of the past, Ronald Lu & Partners have instead created a transparent and outward focus that embraces the surrounding open landscape. In order to reduce the overall environmental impact, the development also implements a number of initiatives, including water recycling and solar energy.
