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.

Design Details

Unique Properties
The project is located at the foot of Nanyue Mountain, Nanming District, Guiyang City. It's the area where the city and nature meet and where the old and new cities meet. The project is built at the foot of the mountain, enjoying the landscape of Nanyue Mountain and facing the Nanming River. The project takes full use of the location advantages, excavating the cultural heritage of the old city to build the elite housing with temperature and culture.
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.
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.
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.
Realization and Technology
Brick concrete and frame shear structure system.
Operation and Interaction
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.
Project Duration and Location
January 2021 to December 2024, Nanming District, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province
Specifications
The total capacity area is about 980,000 square meters, the land area is 250,000 square meters, and the floor area ratio is 4.98.
