Jin Tang Housing                 

Location : Chengdu, China  

AIA Next LA Award 2011   

Client : Chengdu Jintang Dev. Invest Co., Ltd.


    19,480 sm site area  - 45,025 sm built up area - 6,800 sm retail - 34,585 sm apartments - 561 units

       

Following the planning massing developed by our creative director I guided my team to
develop the architectural language and unique mixed-use operations for this dense housing
facility. The massing responds to the need to break the street edge massing, allow for  maximum views from the apartments and provide private courtyards away from the busy street for retail uses. Over the retail we created a lush rooftop garden to serve as the communal lobby for all residents. As an added plus to the residents, we added communal garden spaces on each level to encourage the interaction of the residents.
