spatial practice Shenyang Aquatic Residential Tower
(Hong Kong, January 2016) Project Overview
"How can we create an alternate living environment for a harsh cold climate? Is it possible to create a residential tower that is closed for warmth but open for views and sunlight?" The project is located in front of Zhongshan Park in Shenyang, China; where the temperature drops to -11°C in winters. The design catches the maximum amount of natural sunlight while providing a large thermal mass for insulation. The result is a living zigzag facade with winter gardens acting as a buffer zone for cold winters and creating an internalized view. The building form carves sunlight in the back, while arching forward in the front to decrease the surface area exposed to the cold winter winds of Shenyang. The solution is a building designed from necessity while providing a unique spatial experience for residents and creating a new landmark to respond to its prestigious position facing Zhongshan Park.
