Ronald Lu & Partners is currently developing the Shunde ICC Country Garden Sanlonghui project, based on its “TOD 4.0” concept. 

Located on the border of Guangzhou and Foshan in Sanlong Bay, the 518,320 square-meter project will be equipped with a full range of urban functions, including two subway lines, one bus terminal, eight residential towers, two serviced apartment towers, one international shopping center, one Grade A office building, a kindergarten, and other community facilities.

Set to be completed in 2022, the intermodal hub produces a complete living environment. Highlighting the principles of the TOD 4.0 concept, the project puts in place a “high-density mixed-use development created in harmony with a transportation hub and surrounding communities,” according to the architects.

The firm designed a façade that resembles three flying dragons, “paying tribute to the hardworking spirit of the Shunde people and the economic potential of Sanlong Bay.” Moreover, a curved glass canopy at the bottom of the building simulates a dragon’s tail, which connects to the rooftop terrace of the shopping center.
