About Greenland Wuhan Harper Riverside Residencia Ribereña

Greenland Wuhan Harper Riverside es un complejo residencial a orillas del río en Wuhan, China. El desarrollo consta de cuatro edificios de gran altura, dos de ellos de 150 m y dos de 180 m de altura. La fachada sigue el estilo de los edificios públicos y combina placas de aluminio metálico, revestimientos texturizados y muros cortina de vidrio. Una estructura de pórtico con núcleo central sitúa todos los pilares estructurales en el exterior, de modo que los espacios interiores carecen de muros de cortante y permiten distribuciones flexibles. Amplios balcones amplían las vistas. Los sistemas inteligentes de ventilación y de entrega de paquetería favorecen un modo de vida sostenible.

Production Technology: To maximize the intensive use, the architects used the frame-core tubes to put all structural columns outside. Without shear walls, the space realizes free and flexible structures, making different residents experience various living patterns.
The idea of sustainable residence is introduced into the design to consider the relationship among people, architecture and healthiness. The building is equipped with many smart systems, like ventilation system, intelligent express delivery system, etc.
Design Challenge: The challenge is how to reach a balance of technical safety, functionality, comfort and economical efficiency of super high-rise residence, as the project has an advantaged location. The public shared space is relatively large in super high-rise residence. In order to maximize the area, the structure uses a core tube frame.
Research: The project stands at core riverside area of Yangtze River axis, enjoying the best viewing position. Its land value decides that the project must be a landmark luxury development. Considering the architecture should harmonize with the city, the design adopts a simple and majestic facade to echo the urban surface of the area and improve the urban taste.
Inspiration: The project is one of Top Harper Series developed by Greenland. It stands at the core area of Wuhan's Yangtze River main axis region, belonging to Wuchang Bin Jiang Business District. The district has a total land area of about 134 hectares and is planned to construct more than 30 super high-rise buildings with the height of over 150 m along the river. Besides, the district also has public supporting facilities, including park, art museum, school, office building and featured businesses, etc.
Project Duration: 2013-2019
