Contrary to current practice in China, which is to create density with high-rise buildings, our concept is based on a building typology derived from the traditional Chinese courtyard house. All types of houses have their own private garden or roof terrace. There are 2-storey houses with a courtyard, 3-storey row houses, condominiums and villas. Harmony is achieved across the housing development by using brick facades and by an open architectural design; within this overarching unity, the individuality of the various quarters are underlined by different tones of plaster. The centre consists of two to three storied houses. Four to five storied houses will be constructed on the outskirts, which will also include a children day care center and a sports and recreational club. The average number of floors constructed in the first phase is 0.8. The size varies from 85m² for apartments to 350m² for the villas.
