class=\"wp-block-group is-style-vertical-rule is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-h4\">The Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hangzhou successfully bid to host the 19th Asian Games in 2023. The project is located as the first row of buildings next to the waterfront landscape, and no other high-rise buildings are juxtaposed with it. This creates a unique gateway image of the Asian Games Village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project presents the challenge of a high floor area ratio and complex format, including retail, class A office building, office headquarters and residential. In addition, the base is narrow and long and adjacent to the canal, so the way the HKS design team deals with the waterfront space is a great challenge as well. The traffic flow is complex, which needs to be clearly sorted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-h4\">The Design Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The planning and design concept of this project is inspired by SHANSHUI (mountains and flowing water) and is treated as the \u201cAsian Games balcony.\u201d The spatial form inherited the topological relationship of the waterfront commercial space created during the Song Dynasty, and through international modern interpretation, the value of the urban landscape and river view are simultaneously maximized, forming a world-window view of the waterfront urban community. <br>To maximize land use under limited space, a three-dimensional composite method is used to combine the building\u2019s functional units. Through creating a combined fast-and-slow moving line system, various functional formats are connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-h4\">The Design Impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the Games the project will function as accommodations, catering, physical recovery and strength training center for athletes. After the Games, it will become a world-famous waterfront mixed-use community that says to all, \u201cGOOD TO TRAVEL, GOOD TO LIVE, GOOD TO STAY.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project will become a fashionable-living destination and a model of waterfront living, providing new urban public leisure space for residents in surrounding communities. The design provides high-quality office space for 5,000 people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large is-style-vertical-spacing-tight\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
