The plots connect the Hangguo and the Hangyang industrial heritage sites, along Dongxin Road. Supported by an analysis of key site features and adjacencies, the plan articulates a rich landscaping tapestry that stitches the fragmented site together and to its immediate context, by celebrating the mountainous region's native vegetation, while recollecting the striated pattern of the nearby built environment. These striations can be any combination of different elements: vernacular warehouse forms hewn from hedges, greenhouses, and feature educational programme.

The ambition of the masterplan is to offer high-end housing, working spaces and shopping landmarks in a strong ecological context where water and local plants unite a community and provide a living destination for the city of Hangzhou. 

Plot 1 and part of Plot 2 can either function as a gated community or have controlled access and facilitate the free flow of pedestrian activity in and around the buildings, through the vibrant retail / residential village-like atmosphere of Plot 3, over iconic pedestrian bridges to the commercial, and hospitality activities in Plots 4, 5, and potentially Plot 7. Here, three mountainous landmarks house a hotel, food hall, co-working offices, gyms, pool, theatres, and event facilities. Each recollects different natural and cultural material qualities to ascribe a contextual but innovative character upon a vernacular pitched roof form for a community that appeals to the tastes, leisure lifestyle, and economic pursuits of a new generation.
