The 42,740-square-metre Eling Hill development includes 126 apartments spread across three bands of buildings rising up a hill on the Yuzhong Peninsula, in the city in central China
Safdie Architects created the housing scheme for Singaporean developers City Developments Limited (CDL) and Shenzhen-based developers Vanke.
山顶上伫立着两座五层楼高的圆形大厦,站在楼上可以清晰地看到嘉陵江穿过城市的美景。
在中层以下,公寓像梯田般堆放在陡坡上,随着山坡的形状蜿蜒。后面的高的大楼的下三层隐藏在地下。
At the summit of the hill two rounded five-storey blocks, have uninterrupted views of the river as it carves its path through the city.
Below the mid-level, apartments are stacked on terraces cut into the sloping ground, curving around the site to match the topography of the hillside. At the lowest level six seven-storey buildings are sunk three storeys deep into the hill.
每间公寓均设有室内和室外空间,私人的花园阳台部分采用防锈色板条遮挡。
连锁方式的设计赋予了每座住宅很好的隐私性,同时创造出和谐而起伏的外观。
Each apartment has a mix of indoor and outdoor space, with private balcony gardens part-shaded by swooping rust-coloured slats.
Its interlocking design gives each residences privacy whilst creating a harmonious, undulating facade.
花园、楼梯和长廊连接着场地的不同区域,加上种植的树木和植物,营造出层叠绿化的效果。
居民还可以使用公共游泳池和四层会馆。
Gardens, stairways and promenades connect the different areas of the site, which have been planted with trees and plants to create the effect of cascading greenery.
Residents also have use of communal pools and a four-storey clubhouse.
Canadian-Israeli architect Moshe Safdie founded his eponymous firm in 1964. Safdie Architects is currently building the Raffles City Chongqing, which they claim will be the "largest horizontal skyscraper in the world" when complete.
In 2016 Safdie Architects completed a pair of balcony-covered towers in Singapore connected by three sky bridges, the topmost one featuring a vertiginous swimming pool.
