About Tianqingli Residential Boligkompleks

Tianqingli Residential er et boligkluster plassert på nordsiden av Shangtang-elven i Hangzhou, Kina. Designet anvender Song-stil arkitektur gjennom et enkelt, moderne formspråk, og holder tradisjonelle former lesbare. Trettito boenheter er organisert på en tomt på 17900 kvadratmeter. Flere gårdsrom og smug knytter boligene til de omkringliggende åsene og vannet, og skaper en balanse mellom åpenhet og privatliv. Et curtain wall-system som kombinerer aluminiumslegering og tre understøtter det tradisjonelle uttrykket samtidig som det kontrollerer kostnader og byggetid.
