Halcrow has scooped excellence award for the international concept design competition of this project and was commissioned to undertake architectural design in 2006 through 2007. The development is situated at the intersection of Cheng-Wen-Qiong Highway and Chengfei Avenue in the southwest part of Chengdu City. This affordable housing project for a resettled community of 5,000 was inspired by the small town of Dorchester in the UK. The total site area is 215,000 sq m of which 155,000 sq m is residential. This project began from a prize winning concept design for an international design competition.
Inspired by the plans of traditional British small towns, the development incorporates a distinct road network and offers a range of pedestrian scale streets, crescents, town squares and local parks. In an attempt to break away from the contemporary planning practice in China of creating large and visually impermeable blocks, this plan looked at creating much smaller residential clusters and a visually perforated block edge. The residential clusters were linked together by community and commercial activities.
