Bright Moon Soft Breeze | GREENTOWN CHINA HOLDINGS LIMITED | International Residential Architecture Awards 2024
GREENTOWN CHINA HOLDINGS LIMITED: Winner of International Residential Architecture Awards 2024. The project comprises four plots with a floor area ratio of 2.0, featuring exclusively 6-11-story garden apartments. The design embodies Greentown’s core values of “precision, stability, and longevity,” eschewing fleeting trends in favor of timeless craftsmanship. It aims to create a living environment filled with culture, romance, and a deep sense of life’s beauty.

Located at the 40°N latitude, Beijing shares a similar geographical position with the Mediterranean, the cradle of Western classical architecture. The lower angle of sunlight here, compared to southern regions, gives the natural light a more evocative quality, enhancing the sculptural and architectural forms. Thus, the project adopts a timeless Neo-Classical modern French style, with every façade detail thoughtfully designed to respond to the unique light of the 40°N latitude. The seasonal interplay of flowers and trees reflected on the buildings creates a harmonious brilliance, portraying an ideal architectural vision—depicting a beautiful and enduring scene of life.
The architecture is rendered in a romantic French-inspired beige tone. The first two floors are partially clad in stone, adding a sense of solidity, while the cornice design is meticulously crafted. The upper floors are coated with beige paint, accented by darker hues. The design intentionally breaks away from the heaviness of traditional French architecture, blending the beauty of order with the fluidity of freedom. This harmony of classical rhythm and modern form creates a dynamic urban façade that gracefully interacts with the flow of light and shadow. The richly layered cornices and pilasters enhance the architectural details and three-dimensionality, highlighting the building’s complexity and a refined, dignified character. The classical use of columns, cornices beneath the eaves, and intricate detailing on window frames and coping stones foster an atmosphere of formality, ceremony, and nobility. The façade features 16 levels of overlapping cornices, elevating the building’s external appearance to an exquisite level of perfection. The interplay between the architecture and the sunlight at the 40°N latitude orchestrates a frozen symphony of light and form.
