Chengdu Luxelakes Eco-City C27
Chengdu, China
Chengdu Wide Horizon Investment Group
Project 2019 – 2025
Luxelakes Eco-City is a 550-hectare model environmentally sustainable urban development containing 150 hectares of manmade lakes. From inception in 2005 it adopted the Sponge City concept, using wetlands to manage and filter water run off while providing green and blue open spaces with extensive boardwalks and landscaping.
C27 is a high-end residential twin tower development designed as a gateway to Eco-City. It stands out for its bold, clean-line architectural expression and luxury living.
The project provides a three-part entry experience: a stunning gateway formed by the twin towers; a covered arrival space between the towers framing elevated lake views; finally leading into a generous entry lobby designed for sculpture displays. Additional spacious and well-lit residential amenities contribute to the sense of luxury.
The expression of the Y-shaped towers was inspired by water lilies floating in quiet freshwater ponds, while referencing to the lakeside environment. Horizontal thin plates articulate the towers together with vertical blades providing shade to east and west facades. The uniform, abstract appearance expresses luxury living.
With only three apartments per floor, one at 200m2 and two at 225m2 all have aspect on three sides ensuring excellent light, cross ventilation and outlook from within. Internally the floor plate configuration accommodates western and Chinese kitchens associated with generous living areas.
Denton Corker Marshall has been working with the Developer, Chengdu Wide Horizon New Town Development, since 2019 and has designed apartments on three sites: C15, completed in 2024; C27 completed in 2025; and C16 scheduled for completion in 2026.
