Draped roofs unify the Chongqing precinct, creating a striking roofscape that responds to the steep topography. Viewed from multiple vantage points, these expressive forms define the site’s character.
Larger buildings sit atop the hillside, forming a dramatic silhouette, while smaller structures near the river break down the scale, evoking a ‘village of forms’ nestled in the landscape. Massing shifts to reflect each building’s location, enhancing the sense of place.
Integrated landscaping softens architectural transitions, while a cohesive material palette of metal, stone, and tile, ties the precinct together. Rich textures and colours convey a refined elegance.
Closer to the river, villa clusters emerge organically from the terrain, their varied rooflines ensuring a non-repetitive aesthetic. This dynamic interplay of form and landscape creates a distinctive, harmonious precinct.
The character of each villa is enhanced by the use of unique materials and building details, with an individual architectural language for each villa's roof, façade and windows.
