Honghua Airport District Masterplan

Honghua Airport District Masterplan is a mixed use urban plan for a site in Nanjing, China. The site measures about 649 by 590 metres and is crossed by an old airport runway 62 metres wide. A linked activity bar joins the north and south parts of the site along the runway park. A performance centre anchors the plan and activates the runway. Offices, a hotel and retail spaces are arranged around independent courtyards. Building volumes are broken into smaller stacked boxes with varied facades. LED glass canopies light the street level and support public events.

CR Land Linyi MiXC

CR Land Linyi MiXC is a mixed-use complex located in the historical district of Linyi, China. The project includes a retail podium with five floors above ground, an office tower and six apartment towers. A three dimensional park stretches across the blocks, unifying the surrounding urban landscape with nearby cultural spaces. The facade pattern is inspired by the local culture of kite flying and uses a collage of diamond shapes. Green materials improve the thermal performance of the building envelope, and the landscape follows sponge city planning requirements.
