The Design

About Dowell DoThink Complexo Residencial

O Dowell DoThink é um complexo residencial em Hangzhou, China, com 103.566 metros quadrados. O projeto combina residências urbanas contemporâneas com pátios e residências em edifícios altos implantados em jardins. Cada domicílio possui um pátio privativo independente, inspirado no tradicional pátio de Jiangnan, no qual uma casa é servida por seis pátios. Pedra, revestimento de pedra natural e tinta de alto padrão criam uma fachada unificada e discreta, enquanto linhas metálicas embutidas acrescentam ritmo ao tom minimalista. A paisagem da entrada, o jardim central e o jardim do conjunto ampliam o espaço aberto compartilhado.

Unique Properties: It adopts a homecoming system of 5 level ceremonies. The entrance & exit of the independent community follows the entry ritual system used in a wealthy and influential family in ancient times. It features a form of a backward carriage yard. The private courtyard of each residence acquires the essence of Jiangnan courtyard that one house is equipped with 6 courtyards, which form a distinctive space that courtyards are built both from inside and outside of the site, as well as the surroundings.
Dimensions & Packaging: Type: Mansion
Area: 103566 sqm

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.
