The development is located in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, China. This is the last phase (total of 2,040 dwelling units) of the 42-hectare 'Singapore-styled' township development. The layout consists of 12 residential blocks of 27-, 29-, and 31 -storey towers with full condominium facilities, i.e., a sports complex, clubhouse, and swimming pool. The blocks are arranged and focused around a large open space with amenities integrated into the landscaped garden. The orientation and placement of the buildings is optimised in relation to the local environment as well as to maximise views out towards Cherry Blossom Ecological Park diagonally across the site.
Vehicular and pedestrian paths are clearly segregated, with peripheral roads leading to the semi-basement car parks, leaving the large central open spaces and landscaped roof decks completely dedicated to the pedestrian.
A variety of apartment types can be found in the design ranging from two to four bedrooms. Interlocking maisonette-type units are introduced to two tower blocks as premium products to cater tor different buyers' needs and lifestyles. Each of the tower blocks is configured to allow natural lighting and ventilation into the common areas, maintaining minimal common area in order to achieve a high efficiency. The landscape entices with planting, fountains, cascades, tropical swimming pools, sculptures and gardens. These gardens are a mixture of perennials and seasonal plants that change throughout the year, emphasising the theme of Nature.
