Li Ma Garden in Shanghai draws inspiration from a diverse and dynamic green space, emphasizing natural ecology, streamlined structures, and intelligent energy conservation. It creates a modern, diversified, and low-carbon living environment. In terms of planning, it places a strong emphasis on exploring climatic conditions while incorporating a unique Mediterranean style. Simultaneously, it establishes lively and well-defined scenery, achieving a harmonious integration between internal landscapes and external environments, and ensuring a sustainable development. Li Ma Garden strictly adheres to the design concept of the Passive House Institute (PHI) EnerPHit standard, and obtained pre-certification in 2021, becoming the pioneer of eco-friendly and low-carbon residences in Shanghai. Its passive houses utilize insulation materials and waterproofing designs, optimizing the building structure. It applies the advanced concept of "ultra-low energy consumption, constant temperature & humidity and smart home" in practice, meeting the needs of modern urban residents for a green, healthy, and intelligent lifestyle, and represents an important trend in future architectural development. Li Ma Garden in Shanghai adopts PHI's passive facade system for its exterior, ingeniously preserving most of the original Mediterranean elements, creating a unique Spanish-style villa. The diverse mix of styles recreates the cultural ambiance from various regions of Spain, from the Islamic architectural flair of Granada to the grandeur of Madrid's royal palace, as if immersing in the awe-inspiring cultural charm. The relatively concentrated nine courtyards create a distinctive neighborhood enclave, highlighting its warm and welcoming community atmosphere, adding flexibility, interest, interaction, and unique experience to the overall design. Li Ma Garden, based on strict adherence to PHI numerical standards, has introduced advanced HVAC systems from Germany. Combined with an intelligent control system, it achieves stringent dehumidification requirements under Shanghai's hot and humid climate. Simultaneously, it ensures stable indoor temperature and humidity levels. This approach balances effective energy conservation with low carbon emissions, reducing environmental impact. It not only provides residents with maximum comfort but also maximizes benefits in resource utilization. The architectural design of Li Ma Garden in Shanghai places a strong emphasis on functionality.
