The project is at the intersection of Jinshui Dong Road and Dongfeng Qu, located in the sub-center of Eastern Zhengzhou New District CBD. It consists of nine high-rise residential towers and three living facility buildings enclosing the central garden. These facility buildings include a public club house, a supporting facility building, and a nine-classroom kindergarten. The project is positioned as a high-end residential community, targeted to be the signature project of this kind in the area. Therefore, the planning and architectural design features are focused on creating a unique and luxurious environment to attract an exclusive clientele.
The design draws inspiration from the concept of the “cloud”. During the pre-planning stage, we committed to creating an all-intelligent “cloud” community combined with advanced technology to redefine the emerging lifestyle of the internet age. Meanwhile, the design team also extends the concept of the “cloud” to the architectural design. The building facade design uses large areas of dark glass that stand in sharp contrast with the sleek white terraces and balconies, highlighting a spirit of dynamic lightness for the overhangs visually. The tower building’s design features are extended to the design of the three facility buildings, which also emphasize organic shapes and sleek lines.
