Located at a juncture in the city bordering the slow wandering public realm and promenade of Wuhan, the proposed 223,000sqm GFA twin tower development has been carefully positioned to optimise the lakeside views and the best aspects of the context, and also carefully crafted to minimise its mass as an elegant form on the lake's horizon.

 

This intention to connect with the context drives the development of the project from the base of the towers upwards. The intention has at ground level, been to cultivate a subtle yet generous sanctuary in the city; embracing the duality of the dynamic and passive contexts on both sides of the development through a light and welcoming court at the centre of the scheme which connects retail spaces with workplace and residential users along with the public at large.

 

By embracing the context and its users the scheme seeks to promote connections with the district scale and the grain of the public spaces below to ensure it becomes a celebrated and compelling new place in the city's developing lakeside fabric.
