AECOM

Operating across Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou, AECOM’s mixed-use commercial complexes and corporate developments contrast dramatic angular rooflines and integrated digital screens with fine-grained courtyard networks and historic masonry bases. The portfolio provides a strong reference when resolving scale transitions between expansive retail or technology envelopes and ground-level public realms, particularly when specifying integrated stairs, waterfront lighting installations, and reflecting pools that mirror structural geometries.

An aerial masterplan precedent showcasing the integration of high-density low-rise vernacular clusters with a major natural lakefront and landscape network.

What we like about this project
Intricate network of hidden pedestrian courtyards weaving through the dense roof clusters.

Geometry
Expansive site masterplan featuring dense clusters of low-rise gabled structures interspersed with winding pedestrian paths, green courtyards, and water bodies.
Facade system
Traditional low-rise exterior walls with dark pitched tile roofs.
Structural guess
Low-rise bearing wall construction with timber or concrete roof trusses.
Spatial scale
Macro-scale regional aerial view spanning a massive masterplanned district.
Lighting
Warm twilight or sunrise glow striking the east-facing gabled roofs, casting long shadows across the clustered courtyards.
Atmosphere
Serene and expansive, highlighted by warm morning or evening light playing across traditional roofscapes.
Environmental context
Expansive natural landscape featuring a prominent lake, mature woodlands, and adjacent low-rise town context.
Spatial experience
A macro-scale overview transitioning from dense urban settlement patterns down to intimate pedestrian alleyways and lakeside recreation zones.
Composition rhythm
Repeating pitched roof ridges forming dense organic clusters contrasted with open linear roadways and water features.
Style reading
Contemporary masterplanning with vernacular morphology
