About Dowell DoThink Primary Function: Residential Complex

Ang Dowell DoThink usa ka residential complex sa Hangzhou, China, nga naglangkob og 103566 square meters. Ang disenyo naghiusa sa kontemporaryong urban nga mga puy-anan nga adunay mga hawanan ug taas nga mga puy-anan nga nahimutang sa mga tanaman. Ang matag panimalay adunay independente ug pribadong hawanan, nga gidasig sa tradisyonal nga hawanan sa Jiangnan, diin ang usa ka balay giserbisyohan sa unom ka hawanan. Ang bato, natural nga stone coating ug high-grade nga pintura naghimo og hiniusa ug maigmat nga facade, samtang ang inlaid nga metal nga mga linya nagdugang og ritmo sa minimalist nga tono. Ang entrance landscape, sentral nga tanaman ug cluster garden nagdugang og shared nga bukas nga espasyo.

Production Technology
To ensure an overall unified facade effect, materials like stone, natural stone coating, high-grade paint are selected for the high-rise residential buildings to decorate their simplistic and modest facade. The simpleness revealed by the stone materials and the partially inlaid metal lines play a dynamic rhythm in the minimalist tone.
Design Challenge
The biggest challenge lies in innovation. It is not easy for a real estate development project, because there are many difficult and unexpected problems like budget control, schedule of relevant procedures and others during the construction. From the design to construction, all parties have made great efforts.
Research
The plot where Chinoiserie Mansion locates is also called the "West Creek of Xiaoshan District". Along the riverbank that stretches over 1000 meters, the project boasts two major product types: "contemporary urban residence with courtyards"and "high-rise residence in the courtyard". The ingenious design fosters such a terrific integration of prosperity and landscape.
Inspiration
The city is upgrading, so does its people's pursuit of dwelling quality. Therefore, we needed a project to demonstrate confidence backed by our culture, and the inherent preference for the courtyard. Chinoiserie Mansion makes its debut under such momentum, serving as a return to tradition, as well as an innovation.
Project Duration
October 2018-December 2021
Hangzhou City, China
Operation Flow
The designers considered not only the facade and house type, but also the spatial layout and living atmosphere. All details show a pleasant scale, from the entrance landscape to central garden and cluster garden, creating comfortable spatial experiences. The courtyard stresses privacy that each household has an independent courtyard. Different from the Chinese-style solemn and tediousness, the design injects more vitality into the space to interpret a positive living attitude.
