This project site is next to the Botanical Garden of Hohhot, which is considered the high-end district of the city. It borders the East River and has plenty to brag about in terms of access to natural resources and green spaces. We proposed a gated community for this project and designed internal courtyards, covered arcades, a private playground, and a jogging trail for the residents. We used the 3-level clubhouse to greet the visitors and residents and offer ultimate access control to the community. The clubhouse also provides other amenities including a swimming pool, game rooms, and a tea house with wide roof terraces.

The community has three residential towers, all joined together by a covered arcade. To avoid excessive sun shadow cast onto the Botanical Garden next door, we are required by local authorities to limit the height of the western tower to no more than 30 meters. This presented a challenge to the profile of the overall community, but we were able to make the three towers look coherent with varying heights and proportions. We chose a color scheme with a strong contrast of black and white, and blue and orange, to convey a fashionable branding statement.
