Set within the heart of Shunde’s Dongyiwan district, this mixed-use development reimagines the modern urban block through a vertical layering of retail, lifestyle, and civic spaces. The architecture is a dynamic interplay of clean geometry and bold massing, defined by recessed terraces, glazed facades, and sky gardens that bring rhythm and permeability to the cityscape.
Designed to energize the neighborhood, the scheme fosters connectivity and vibrancy by placing pedestrian flows, social nodes, and green relief at the core of its planning strategy—establishing the site as a commercial and communal anchor within the growing precinct.

Articulated Urban Rhythms
The architectural composition of Shunde Dongyiwan Plot 26-2 is defined by its deliberate massing and rhythmic articulation, integrating varied scales and forms to activate the street edge while responding to its urban surroundings. The tower anchors the corner with a distinct vertical presence and a grid-like glazed façade that offers clarity and transparency, contrasting with the textured, low-rise retail volumes that stretch horizontally across the podium. These lower blocks are expressed as a series of articulated modules in warm-toned cladding, providing a human-scaled interface that accommodates retail, commercial, and public uses in an animated streetscape.
The massing strategy introduces permeability and movement by staggering the volumes and incorporating setbacks, terraces, and landscaped interstitial spaces. The architecture not only optimizes daylight and views for internal spaces but also creates a sequence of spatial experiences that transition smoothly from urban bustle to intimate gathering zones. Altogether, the design reflects a balance of density, livability, and contemporary identity—positioning the development as a cohesive node within the broader city fabric.
The Shunde Dongyiwan Plot 26-2 Mixed-Use Development stands as a refined response to the complexities of modern urban life—blending verticality and horizontality into a cohesive, legible architectural form. Through its thoughtful layering of functions, sensitive scale modulation, and articulated façade language, the project establishes a dynamic yet grounded presence in the city. It not only meets the demands of density and commercial viability but also contributes meaningfully to the urban streetscape, creating a vibrant, walkable, and enduring piece of the Shunde skyline.
