Tianjin Bailong & HHDesign: Winner of International Residential Architecture Awards 2023. This project is located in Tuanbo West, Tianjin, developed by Tianjin Rail Transit Urban Development Co., Ltd. It occupies a resource hub in the entire area.

At the project’s central axis, there is a futuristic main entrance with an all-glass curtain wall and a two-story-high cantilever design, serving as the future community’s welcoming lobby. At the unit entrances, above-ground and underground fully furnished lobbies are provided.

The community’s internal landscape is based on traditional Chinese landscaping and features elegant alleys, tree-lined squares, pavilions and bridges. Many tree species are price in the millions transplants, and the extensive structures and valuable trees significantly increase the overall landscape cost compared to similar projects. With modern facades, luxurious decorations in public areas and above-standard landscaping, it’s clear that Tianjin Railway Jingjie has put the best configuration.

The overall architectural style features a trendy fluid facade with a window-wall ratio greater than 0.3. Units with an area of approximately 80 square meters have openings exceeding 5 meters in width to ensure both landscape and natural light. The living rooms feature large integrated glass panels, with the largest single-panel glass area being around 10 square meters and weighing approximately 1.3 tons. The extensive use of large windows makes the building feel more transparent and lightweight. Coupled with the straight-line effect brought by the large aluminum panels, it takes the modernity of the fluid facade to the extreme.

In Tianjin Railway Jingjie’s large-scale townhouses, the entire south-facing corners have been upgraded with aluminum panels. For the stacked units, in addition to eaves and corners, aluminum panels have been extended to the wall design. Upon closer examination of the stacked facade, many lines and shapes are complex, with external corners and internal curves, demanding high requirements for materials and craftsmanship.
