- Inspiration
- Working within Concrete masses of a modern city makes people stressful. Everyone is looking for a city with a beautiful environment, fashionable and livable, abundant supporting facilities, and high-quality life. This design will change the ways of life completely. Hence, the manifesto of our program is to bring the city back to those people and spread the garden to the world. We will bring the excellent elements of the most famous garden cities together such as stylish designs, a variety of business formats to create a differentiated lifestyle in Garden City.
- Research
- Nowadays, the convergence of city images is becoming more and more serious during the process of development and urbanization. The urban architecture cannot even feel its existence and monumental value, and moreover the public green space is also becoming gradually inaccessible. Therefore, how to balance the combination and connection of the architectural space and the green space, at the same time to evoke senses, and create a harmonious, inspiring and meaningful urban environment where people can live, work and entertain become the main design issues and also the ultimate goal in this project.
- Challenge
- Public spaces like hotels, international conference centers need an open environment; while residential architecture like CEO Mansion focus on quality life, independent and private atmosphere. Hence how to conduct the layout of the project and roll out a landscape design of combining organically this two contrasting, complementary spaces, is the key point in general planning and landscape design that the designer needs to carefully consider.
- Realization and Technology
- The lakeside park is composed of multiple characteristic landscape elements such as a lakeside square, a dock, a stream area, a characteristic landscape bridge, a waterfall, a forest terrace, a rocky landscape, and a wetland area. Hyatt Hotel is placed itself as a five-star city resort hotel, including double-height lobby, conference and banquet center, fitness and SPA center, coffee shop, all-day hotel restaurant, special restaurant and other many functions and spaces. The hotel will have more than 340 rooms. The design strategy of the LA CADIERE CENTER follows the rule of the continuity of site and lake area.
- Operation and Interaction
- Towers are arrayed along this connecting spine of folded landscaping which creates a seamless connection to the lake and park. Towers rise up high from the ground, the stone-clad façade expresses verticality while also implying an uplifting spirit. Living beside the park, the units are enjoying not only the extensive landscape view but also overlook towards the future tallest building in China.
