Habitat Qinhuangdao’s design draws on the principles and values pioneered in Habitat ’67. It offers a bold new concept for urban living: high density housing in a garden environment, combining numerous private and public gardens in the sky with a fully landscaped ground plane.
For Habitat Qinhuangdao, Safdie Architects organized the housing into a series of stacked residential blocks of 16 stories that are offset and surrounded by gardens at the base and linked via skybridges at the 18th and 33rd floors. The buildings’ stepped and staggered forms create private terraces, balconies, and solariums and enclose grand “urban windows”—view corridors between the city and the sea—that humanize the scale and connect the development to its context. The buildings’ long elevations face east, west, and south to take in sunshine. North-facing interiors borrow light that filters through the large urban windows. As a result, the development feels bright, airy, and open.
