In the heart of the Yangtze River Delta, integrating existing water streets with new ones, this development mixes offices, dwellings, and retail spaces with a cultural center that provides a theater and exhibition galleries, under a roof that includes a garden bridge. A new water street flows through the core of the premises in a north-to-south direction, and harnesses the potential that the environment offers, featuring docks, floating tea houses, and rowing areas. The project preserves existing wetlands and incorporates sponge-city strategies to retain rainwater.
