AQUAVISTA

This project aims to create an innovative congregate housing design featuring two modern buildings. Each building will stretch 13 to 14 floors into the sky, with an additional 3 floors extending underground. The surrounding area is teeming with top-tier educational institutions, easy access to transportation, and a variety of entertaining amenities. Moreover, residents will be treated to a breathtaking vista of the riverbank and mountains. The entire design concept revolves around the idea of "harmony between architecture and environment." The design team aspires to craft residential buildings that are not only visually appealing, but also promote a sustainable and eco-friendly way of living. Ultimately, the goal is for these buildings to stand as a significant and iconic addition to the local urban landscape, offering a fresh and desirable lifestyle choice for the community.
The design of the project draws inspiration from the serene waterfront, incorporating silver metallic horizontal lines that gracefully intertwine to mimic the fluidity and softness of the water. These layers create a gentle and dynamic visual effect, reminiscent of sunlight dancing on the water's surface. The intention is to establish a distinctive aesthetic that captures the essence of waterfront living.
The architects carefully selected gray glass and silver-gray metal panels as the primary building materials for the façade. This deliberate choice was made to seamlessly integrate the structure with its natural surroundings, ensuring the building doesn't disrupt the environment. The use of these materials not only gives the building a lightweight and sleek appearance, but also allows the glass to reflect the stunning mountain and river views, creating a harmonious connection with the surrounding landscape. Furthermore, the incorporation of the elegantly curved deep sunshade design serves to enhance both the visual appeal and practical functionality of the entire building.
The design of the building goes beyond just its physical form; it also embraces a human-centered approach. By stepping back the building, it allows for the creation of a vibrant public open space, which is complemented by a variety of lush greenery and diverse public amenities. This design creates a welcoming environment for both residents and pedestrians to enjoy. Moreover, a sophisticated lighting system has been implemented to minimize energy consumption by adjusting light levels according to the time of day. Notably, the lighting during late hours is deliberately kept at a lower intensity to prioritize pedestrian safety.
In response to the pressing issue of ecological sustainability, the project is incorporating a range of environmental protection measures to significantly reduce carbon emissions. To counteract the urban heat island effect, we are designing and implementing a substantial green space with permeable paving, which will not only enhance the visual appeal of the site but also help regulate urban temperatures. Furthermore, a captivating water feature wall, complemented by a centralized recycling system for surface water drainage, will not only serve as an aesthetic element but also contribute to the sustainable management of water resources. Our aim is to craft an environment that not only offers a high quality of life for our residents, but also actively preserves and promotes ecological harmony, all while aligning with our commitment to favor the well-being of our planet.
