Aedas Global Design Principal Dr. Andy Wen and Executive Director Yijun Qian led their team to win the competition of the Wuhan Film Production Studio Plot D and Plot E (Residential and Commercial) Design Scheme in the heart of the city.
Integrating the Wuhan landscape with cultural characteristics, the design is set to be a cultural-commercial hub filled with historical and functional features.
Located in the centre of Hanjiang district, the project is closely situated to the major roads and metro system, enjoying convenient accessibility to link with other districts. Connected to the landscape view axis, the Cloud City has a spectacular view overlooking the surrounding landscape and Zhongshan Park to the East.
The overall Cloud City development is a mix of office, residential and commercial. The design promotes the integration of ‘sharing, connectivity and greenery’, to maximise the use of the L-shaped plot and to meet the urban planning requirements. To deliver an efficient commercial experience, the super high-rise tower that consists of offices and a hotel is placed near the metro entrance. Residences are allocated in the mid-levels, and the porous podium on the lower levels connects with other functions and irrigates the city with vibrancy. With the connectivity to the landscape axis, the skyline merges with the nature and landscape nearby.
