Merging tradition with the future, the project connects Yuhang’s rich historical and cultural heritage with the vibrant modern urban life, becoming a unique cultural landmark in the area.
The design responds to the site condition, requirements for floor area ratio and green space, ‘Diverse public interaction spaces are created through the integration of the building and the natural environment. An urban garden is made for relaxation and entertainment for the local community.’ Fiona shares.
The west and north sides of the site are serene green spaces, while the east and south sides are connected to transport systems. The design places the hotel towers on the west side for a peaceful environment, and commercial podium on the east side to attract circulation. By rotating the twin towers to form an approximately 90-degree angle, the layout avoids direct views between buildings and maximises cityscape views. The enclosed space formed by the towers and podium includes a garden, bringing greenery into the area and integrating architecture with nature and providing a public space for activities.
