Shanghai Gubei International Garden


Client: Shanghai New Gubei Development Go., Ltd.

 

The Gubei International Garden, in the Gubei New District in the Shanghai downtown core, borders the Hongqiao development zone. The No.3 Gubei District creates a high standard in international residence development.

South of Gubei International Garden is an important east-west axis, planned as the central landscaped commercial street of the Gubei New District. The master plan significantly improves the district layout and emphasizes a human scale residential environment. The architecture style creates varied spaces of character and quality.

The curvilinear layout of the front and back building rows, detailed planning in the middle row quiet courtyards with the back row, opens the space with the front row buildings. Apartments, commercial services and clubs are transition uses to the exterior environment. The southwestern corner of the golden axis is the entrance-square that connects the community to the surrounding city neighbourhood. The recreational character of the golden axis is designed to blend into the residential community atmosphere.

Bright colored terraces and wave-like platforms endow the architecture with a free and open landscape modernity. Greenery and water combine to create a natural landscape. Water surrounds the club and forms a relaxing creek at the center of the community. Pools, grass, plants and pavement organically combine the diverse integrated landscaping.
