Nanping village, Zhuhai, Guangdong, China

Year: 2024-2025

BUA: 33,780 m²

Design Strategy: “One Garden, One Loop, Twin Towers”​​

Central Green Oasis​: Aggregates 65% of site greenery into a central landscaped courtyard, enhancing microclimate and communal interaction.

Perimeter Circulation Loop​: A 6 m-wide access road wraps the site, connecting towers while maintaining fire safety compliance.

Edge-Loaded Massing​: Twin 19-story towers positioned along northern/southern boundaries to maximize solar exposure and minimize shading on the central garden.

​Technical Integration​

​Heritage Sensitivity: Setback 15m from northern heritage zone, with root-protection systems for ancient trees.

​Modular Construction: Prefabricated façades accelerate assembly while reducing onsite disruption.

​Shared Mobility Hub: West entry integrates bike-share stations and EV charging to offset limited vehicle access.

This surgical insertion demonstrates the high-density social housing's potential to reconcile heritage preservation, ecological resilience, and community building in land-stressed urban villages.
