About Sunac Guobin Road Residential

Sunac Guobin Road is a residential complex located at the foot of Nanyue Mountain in Guiyang. The site lies where the city meets nature and where the old city meets the new city. The buildings face the Nanming River and follow the slope through multi-level platforms, which solve the complex height differences of the terrain. The terrain also reduces road noise from the east. Stone and glass curtain walls are used, with creamy-white and dark gray tones. Vertical components and floating plates form the tops of the buildings and extend the view toward the landscape.

Production Technology
Brick concrete and frame shear structure system.
Design Challenge
The architect intends to increase the hierarchy of the building through the frame. The creamy-white and dark gray colors are used to enhance the sense of high-level sequence while the strong lines are used to surround the composite surface, and the dark color is used inside to form a virtual real contrast with the outer frame, so as to enhance the tension of the building. The facade composition system forms a simple and straight modern sense.
Research
The design team makes full use of the nature of the mountain to solve the complex height difference and slope problems through the treatment of multi-level platform. They also decrease the impact of the east main road noise on the community with the help of the terrain. That reduces the impact of the surrounding adverse factors, and deals with the relationship between the construction and the site.
Inspiration
The geomorphic features of nine mountains embrace one water in Guiyang are integrated into the design concept, and the concept of landscape embedded in city is extracted. Focusing on the changing relationship between landscape environment and urban texture, a new look of jade can be seen through broken stones. With the help of modern materials such as stone and glass curtain wall, the natural artistic conception of simplicity can be expressed.
Project Duration
January 2021 to December 2024, Nanming District, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province
Operation Flow
The top of the building is designed with vertical components and floating plate elements. Through the extension of the line of sight, the building and nature are integrated.
