Idea of design
The whole design admires to floating mountains, sea water, pebbles and earth landscapes, mainly reflected as followed: The skyline of the building is close to the outline of the floating mountain. The smooth outline of the building symbolizes the free water flow. The various masses interspersed in the building symbolize the pebbles on the lakeside. The green landscape of the roof of the site provides users with good vision, and brings ecological effects to the whole area.
We are striving for pedestrian friendly design in all street scale and spaces we created in this master planning. It is important to bring life back to the new town and stay people.
Like all other Chinese 2nd tiered city, this project has a window to grow into a new city center in a old district of Qingdao city. It is facing a beautiful mountain called fushan, and near ocean.
The ecological design runs through all aspects of the project, including the greening ratio on the master plan, and greening treatment strategy on the fifth façade-the roof. Small courtyards on various open space and node designs of the building help to improve microclimate.
