About Greenland Wuhan Harper Riverside Riverside Residence

Greenland Wuhan Harper Riverside is een residentieel complex aan de rivier in Wuhan, China. De ontwikkeling bestaat uit vier superhoge gebouwen, waarvan twee 150 m hoog en twee 180 m hoog. De gevel volgt de stijl van openbare gebouwen en combineert aluminium metaalplaten, bekleding met textuur en glazen vliesgevels. Een structuur met frame en kernbuis plaatst alle constructiekolommen aan de buitenzijde, waardoor de binnenruimtes geen schuifwanden hebben en flexibele indelingen mogelijk maken. Brede balkons verruimen het uitzicht. Slimme ventilatie- en bezorgsystemen ondersteunen duurzaam wonen.

Unique Properties: It uses the facade style of public building, rendering the whole building magnificent and elegant and stressing the overall ratio and the size of details. The surface is composed of metal aluminum plates and covering materials with quality texture, as well as glass curtain walls, enhancing communication between building and environment. Simplistic construction ways shape horizontal texture, extending vision via wide balcony, and detailed material transition in partial areas improves the visual effect of facade.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project occupies a land area of 23,548.85 sqm, with the gross floor area of 108,191.77 sqm. It consists of four super high-rise residential buildings, two of which are 150m high and the other two 180m high.

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
