This mixed-use development is located in Zhuhai, China on Hengqin Island, on a waterfront property with views of the newly created man-made waterways that connect to the South China Sea. Recently, the world’s longest sea-crossing bridge opened connecting Zhuhai with Hong Kong; driving mass scale mixed-use development at an extremely fast rate. Due to this intensely competitive market, the client tasked GF with developing a mixed-use project that would stand out among the rest.
The design would need to draw newly residing residents, shoppers, and workers to a one of kind experience in order to compete with the surrounding developments. To do so, GF developed various concepts in each of the programs represented on site: Residential, Retail, and Office. Tying these concepts together was an overall idea of live/work/shop that acted as the fundamental driver for our design and site layout.
