Leshan Road is the western boundary of the new urban axis that connects the northern station to the river. Each sector on this axis has a specific programme and identity. The design for Leshan Road brings visible unity to diversity.<\/p>\n
We divided the plan into three zones, in line with this \u2018one street-multiple characteristics\u2019 strategy. The northern R&D sector focuses on knowledge sharing and innovation, while the Central Business District has a commercial focus. The station area focuses on culture.<\/p>\n","bottom_type":"none","bottom_text":"","bottom_link":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","variation":"left_right","no_padding":false,"text_left":"
Together with the urban design department and a local design office, we investigated the possibilities for programmatic and spatial substantiation. On this basis, we proposed combining stacked housing with commercial facilities. This neighbourhood offers scientists and Research & Development staff a varied living environment that differs from the surrounding residential areas.<\/p>\n
The client chose the variant with an active street fa\u00e7ade and a mixed commercial programme. This creates a lively streetscape.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_image","disable_crop":false,"sticky_text":false,"image":false,"image_landscape":false,"full_image":false,"image_location":"left","text_top":"
The zone along the road screens off the high-rise buildings behind it. At the same time, the stepped buildings produce a coherent and nature-inclusive picture.<\/p>\n
We translated the plan to meet urban planning preconditions. A first building plan has now been approved.<\/p>\n","bottom_type":"none","bottom_text":"","bottom_link":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","variation":"left_right","no_padding":false,"text_left":"

Completing the business centre in the lake district are four plots that we are connecting to a larger network. As a result, all kinds of business activities will soon be located near the metro station. These include catering establishments, a shopping centre, hotels and a conference centre.<\/p>\n

The station is the main transport hub. Cultural facilities are located near the station, in easy reach of the entire region.<\/p>\n
One plot is earmarked for a museum about the station area. It will include catering establishments for people travelling between the station and the business centre.<\/p>\n
All of this is connected to the elevated walkway, which links the station to the district as a whole.<\/p>\n
A second plot has been reserved for a theatre, and a third for retail and several flagship stores. A fourth plot is meant for leisure, hospitality and nightlife.<\/p>\n
