The Molewa master plan anchors itself with the creation of one the largest flower themed park in the region and as a result creating a major mixed use, touristic and leisure attraction point rippling from Ruichang, and throughout the Jiangxi province. The Flower Ocean park is strategically planned on the south part of the site, creating a strong visual link and identity with access from the north. Access to the Flower Ocean Park will need to cross through the commercial/cultural/educational plots of the masterplan as well as through a series of residential plots. As much as the commercial plots are important aspects of the overall urban and public realm experience, it is the residential plots that bear the brunt of creating the actual urban context with the necessary critical mass for any urban context to be successful. Commercial / cultural / educational plots cannot function without successful residential mass. Our plot selection for this submission is thus a residential plot to respond to providing a visionary, contemporary living unit that connects with the Flower Ocean, but also to the larger context of what modern living is all about. We’ve chosen residential plot 15 to showcase our vision.
Residential design in China faces multitudes of restrictive design issues: One, facing heavy regulations imposed by local planning bureaus residential design often results in very strict interpretations of massing and building separations. Second, a developer-led and market driven standard of apartment layout creates a homogeneous and monotonous building typology that litters the urban landscape offering very little choice to potential buyer / inhabitants. Thirdly, out-of-date local customs remains a design barrier that is difficult to overcome by users accustomed to certain arrangements of functional layout that is a reflection of the developer-led model, fueling the perpetual circle of the same type of residential layouts.
Plot 15 within this master plan is zoned principally as a plot to cater to larger family oriented residential units ranging from 3 bedrooms to 4 bedrooms. Other residential amenities would include clubhouse facilities to enhance lifestyle experiences by providing residences with health and beauty activities set amidst a relaxing and integrated private landscape residential park. Our design objective is to start with a clean slate. We make no assumptions as to what the residential units should be. We look to bring a fresh approach and an unprecedented design vision to what it means to live within this beautiful environment by focusing the residential design to connect with the landscape, literally and figuratively, bringing the landscape into the units and organizing the functional layouts around the landscape. Our vision is to enable every single unit, every single family within this residential plot a piece of their very own Flower Ocean park at the very heart of their apartment unit.
Contemporary family structure in China is still very much rooted in deep traditional family structure. Though this structure is evolving around the mobility and geography of work, the ideal family structure is still a multi-generational one based on grandparents-parents and child (ren).
Often this traditional family structure finds itself within the confines of a conventional living unit where co-habitation is an intruding and unresponsive necessity. Furthermore, access to private outdoor area directly from within unit is unheard of due to organizational layout and restrictive area allocation. Our vision lies in the following design principles listed below that redefines living to respect the generational differences and creating a healthy and well-being lifestyle living for all as the foremost design driver:
1. All units are designed as individual “houses” with its own proper outdoor “garden” regardless of its size and position.
2. All units have cross ventilation to ensure resourceful use of the environment.
3. All units are oriented north-south to ensure maximum access to sunlight.
4. All units have private lift-staircase access to ensure security and privacy.
5. Functional layout allows flexibility-transformable spaces to accommodate different use, different ages and family structure.
6. All units minimizes partitions yet maintains privacy.
7. All units promote sense of home in the universal sense of respecting individual and collective spaces.
The fundamental idea of our concept lies in this simple precept: one residential unit + one outdoor garden = one home.
