Reviving Song-Style Living in Tianqingli Residential

Located by the Shangtang River, Tianqingli Residential aims to be the first Song-style residential cluster with traditional Chinese gardens in China. The project creates a spatial pattern of multi-sided landscape and multiple courtyards, forming a direct dialogue between architecture and nature.

The project's unique approach borrows from traditional Chinese garden landscapes, creating a sequence between private and public courtyards that is more variable, aligning with contemporary aesthetic needs.

Utilizing modern architectural language while maintaining the readability of architectural symbols, the project applies a technology of Chinese traditional style curtain wall system mixed with aluminum alloy and wood structure, making the contemporary practice of Chinese traditional style buildings more sustainable.

The total site area is 17900 sqm, with a total building area of 8500 sqm, involving 32 households. The project started in June 2018 and finished in October 2021 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.

Against the regular residential determinant texture and homogenized architectural style promoted by urbanization development, this project creates a new living experience that responds to the local climate and traditional living habits, striving to explore a new architectural model at the junction of city and nature.

Shen Likun, the designer of Tianqingli Residential, focused on urban planning and architecture design topics such as urban organic renewal, Chinese architecture construction, and featured town for many years, making remarkable achievements in the research of the modernity and regionalism of modern residences.
