SHORT DESCRIPTION

This ambitious project aims to create a congregate residential building that seamlessly blends elegance with comfort, drawing inspiration from the majestic Windsor Castle in the UK. The design thoughtfully incorporates classical architectural elements, such as the striking vertical lines characteristic of the Tudor Dynasty, beautifully landscaped gardens, ornate lion sculptures, and charming wall lamps, all of which exude a sense of heritage and refinement. Utilizing modern materials like sleek metal and expansive glass, the design captures a contemporary essence while satisfying the discerning tastes of future residents. Furthermore, the project embraces sustainability with a thoughtful layout that features a low building coverage rate combined with a high greening rate. This deliberate approach not only fosters a healthier, more livable environment for residents but also positions the development as a benchmark in architectural design focused on sustainable practices. The result is a residential experience that harmonizes luxury, community, and ecological responsibility, setting a new standard for high-end living. The construction of the main building showcases a thoughtfully crafted thermal insulation design that prioritizes both energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. To enhance its performance, the thickness of the reinforced concrete (RC) walls on the facade has been increased to an impressive 15 centimeters. This robust design, coupled with the application of thermal insulation on the roof and balcony, effectively minimizes heat transfer between the interior and exterior spaces. As a result, the building maintains a comfortably stable indoor temperature while significantly reducing dependence on air conditioning systems.
