Introduction

Located just an hour and a half away from Shanghai, Shaoxing is a historic watertown in Zhejiang Province renowned for its celebrated scholars, poets and artists in Chinese history. Shaoxing Huafa Honour Financial Center is located at the central of Shaoxing Huafa Honour Financial City, and is positioned as the Singapore-style and modern high-end resort living.
Inspired by Southeast Asian nature, the landscape design of Shaoxing Residences reflects Shaoxing’s city character in a modern approach to create a unique integration for both relaxing and lively space. In terms of overall master planning design, the site area is divided into six core nodes, which is expressed functionally with its spatial characteristic to serve the living activities under the designated landscape design.
Combining clean, formal and dynamic lines along with the mixture of texture and materials, hardscape colour palletes will be light and simple. Different shades of warm colour will be the main theme with bronze accent. Various pavilion design and feature elements introduced on each plot is responding and emphasizing the uniqueness Southeast Asian culture while the planting palletes are based on the four seasons species with natural arrangement to establish the ambience of the theme.
The drop-off area in the hotel-style is a highlight of the project. The rain-free dropoff area is designed for the residents to have the experience of a homely feel in the leisure vacation. The outdoor area named as Shiguang Living Room is an exquisite and friendly booth garden which entice the residents to enjoy the calm and leisure atmosphere within the garden. Moreover, the foot path is designed in the threedimensional landscape features, which is enclosed by the tree shading, the refined interweaving landscape on ground, and the designated feature wall. Featured maple trees are planted along both sides of the main entrance, which combined with the architectural external wall to enhance the visual experience and the layering of plant at the entrance.
With this project, we aim to provide another historical city model which is based on cultural and site context. Hoping that it will result as a dynamic environment forresidences that will inspire future urban development
