Aedas has joined hands with CAPOL and won the design competition for Hengqin Science City Phase 3 Section 2 in Zhuhai. Located in the northwest of Hengqin, Zhuhai, the development is envisioned to be a people-centric high-end biomedical research environment, consisting of facilities for pharmaceutical research, product exhibition and commercial activities. It is set to become a live-work-recreate community to cater all needs for the talents.
The project sits on an irregular L-shape plot, closely connected to the main roads with excellent transportation system and urban interface. Outlined by a dynamic skyline and a vibrant cityscape, the development is set to be an urban oasis that optimises the space by integrating the mixed-use buildings and diverse park. To maximise the spatial planning of the narrow site, the design creates an open street to provide a flexible and collaborative space. In the southernmost, two 100m-tall twin towers shape a gateway for the industry in the city.
The design draws inspiration from industrial green valley, seamlessly stitching the industries and green surroundings along the plot. The jagged high-rise towers are placed along the open street, and create a vertical multi-leveled green space with the greenery, cascading terraces, rooftop gardens, echoing the form of the adjacent mountain.
