When complete in 2022, International Seafront Garden will provide one of the longest and most vibrant retail main streets in Zhuhai. Huafa Group’s vision for International Seafront Garden is to forge a vibrant urban community by forming a connective tissue between the development and the client’s adjacent properties, also designed by 10 DESIGN.

The large square is further defined by two 190 m tall gateway office towers, marking the core of the masterplan. Alongside the large square is a series of more open and inviting hardscape spaces. This vibrant street frontage extends all the way to the west, where Huafa International Coast is located.”  Image Courtesy © 10 DESIGN  Image Courtesy © 10 DESIGN The design concept for the development is also influenced by the adjacent Zhuhai International CEC. The large scale urban design concept moves from the rippling ocean, to its undulating interpretation for the convention centre, and ultimately to the light floating forms of the development. Ted Givens, Design Partner at 10 DESIGN explained: “A serpentine bridge floats across the three sites, unifying the geometry. The bridge is composed of a series of organic canopies that create a dynamic skyline, and help draw people to the upper floors of the F&B retail. The bridge bends down to the ground on the far ends of the site further enhancing connectivity and creating an arc across the main façade.”  Image Courtesy © 10 DESIGN  Image Courtesy © 10 DESIGN The retail zones are interwoven with dynamic outdoor courtyard spaces that are inspired by and support Zhuhai’s culture of outdoor living. Above the retail, residential towers command unobstructed sea views and are interwoven with the podium through a series of vibrant gardens. Huafa International Seafront Garden will strengthen the character of the existing neighbourhood and will provide a vibrant retail destination for the wider Wanzai District.
