Located in the heart of Qujiang, our development is designed to cater for an influx of upper-class residents wanting a second home in the heart of this new cultural hub.
Consisting of 4 luxury residential blocks the apartments range from 280m2 to 680m2. An exclusive private clubhouse and specialty restaurants occupy the podium levels. The development promises the next level of luxury and exclusivity.
Inspired by the flowing waters of the Qujiang Lake, we created a cluster of residential apartments with fluidly flowing balconies juxtaposed together in a shifting rhythm resembling ripples on the water surface.
The combination of reflective glass and natural anodized aluminium creates a shimmering effect during daylight whilst at night time, the ambient lighting features shows off the curvilinear profiles.
