Project located within the Innovation Square of the Xiong'an New Area Start-up Zone, this project covers a site area of 438,000 square meters, comprising 6 civic/commercial plots and 15 residential parcels, with a total Gross Floor Area (GFA) of 1,208,000 square meters.
The spatial structure is anchored by a central Sci-Tech Innovation Cluster along the Jinpeng Road service axis, which serves as the core for industrial, commercial, and community services. Flanking this core to the east and west are residential clusters featuring supporting amenities. Each cluster engages in a dynamic dialogue with the valley landscape to the south and east, where industrial, office, and commercial functions coexist organically, and residential enclaves are defined by their enclosed yet vibrant form.
Thematically rooted in "Innovation," the master plan adopts the "Fang" (Traditional Block) as its spatial archetype, envisioned as a "Vibrant Block of the Future." The proposal introduces four key design innovations:
1.Programmatic Synthesis: Driven by the high-yield sectors of artificial intelligence and medical engineering, the design fosters innovative scenarios that seamlessly integrate production, residential living, and ecology—a "tri-life" symbiotic model.
2.Decentralized Civic Network: By establishing a central community hub supported by a constellation of satellite amenities, the design creates a multi-nodal, highly interconnected public realm.
3.Permeable Near-Ground Morphology: The design blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior. By strategically converging programmatic elements, it achieves a high-density, highly permeable, and interactive urban ground plane.
4."Xiong'an Walk" Urban Carpet: The surrounding ecological context is seamlessly woven into the site, transforming the ground plane into a boundless, green "urban carpet" that fosters a deep integration among nature, people, and the urban fabric.
