description.

The tropical rainforest is one of the richest ecological systems in the world, and is recognized as “the lung of earth”. The rainforest’s multi-layer environment, ranging from the root layer to the emergent layer, is home to a wide variety of plant and animal species. Each of the rainforest’s levels satisfy different species’ living requirement and supports the continuous operation of its ecological system.

​

We have taken our design inspiration from the rainforest as nature’s prototype for sustainable high density. Our concept of the “Urban Rainforest” is also stratified to create an inviting, 24-hour community, that appeals to diverse user groups and functions. This design strategy looks to create a pure and bountiful living environment, and will support the Shenzhen High Tech Park’s economy with low-carbon emissions and net-zero energy consumption.
