Introducing Lixian Future Community by gad

gad proudly presents Lixian Future Community, a groundbreaking mixed-use development project that reimagines the concept of an ideal community. Inspired by the profound and lasting Chinese culture, Lixian Community is designed to embody the principles of cosmopolitanism, offering a harmonious and sustainable living environment for all. This ambitious project commenced in July 2019 and is located in Quzhou, Zhejiang Province, China.

Lixian Future Community is characterized by its unique approach to urban design, incorporating a platform above traditional transportation levels that functions as various garden landscapes. The project aims to create a pleasant spatial scale by arranging community groups in rhythmic orderings of low density, small blocks, and abundant landscapes. The architectural features seamlessly blend traditional elements with futuristic design, offering a glimpse into the future of urban living.

One of the key highlights of Lixian Community is its Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) mode, which integrates the local bus network with the neighborhood center. This comprehensive TOD system connects all nodes and incorporates essential civic infrastructures, such as nurseries, rest homes, entrepreneur hubs, and multifunctional spaces, to create a cohesive and sustainable community.

Spanning approximately 100 hectares, with a core area of about 28.8 hectares and a gross floor area of 644,416 square meters, Lixian Future Community is a testament to innovative urban planning and design. The project boasts a diverse range of features, including a neighborhood center, TOD complex, prefabricated building modules, urban design elements, and building lifecycle management, all aimed at creating a holistic and forward-thinking living environment.

gad's visionary team, led by Project Director Wei Zhang and Xuan Wu, along with a dedicated group of urban designers and architects, has overcome numerous creative, technical, and research challenges to bring the Lixian Future Community to life. By emphasizing humanization, ecologicalization, and digitization, the team has successfully integrated nine future scenes, including neighborhood, education, health, business, architecture, transportation, low-carbon initiatives, service, and governance, into the fabric of the community.

With its commitment to redefining the future of urban living, Lixian Future Community has been recognized with the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in City Planning and Urban Design in 2021. This accolade underscores the project's outstanding expertise, innovation, and remarkable level of excellence in urban design.
