The project is located west of Dayun Station in Longgang District, Shenzhen, seamlessly connected to Dayun Metro Interchange Station, boasting a unique geographical advantage. It integrates multiple functions including commerce, service apartments and residences, striving to create a functionally mixed urban complex.
Design Concept: The Leap from "Integration" to "Dialogue"
With "CITY CENTER Rubik's Cube" as the core narrative, we abandon the traditional "community supporting facilities" mindset and position the project as a "city-level destination". Like rotatable, reconfigurable and interactive urban pixels, it fosters social interaction, sharing and commercial surprises under the gravitational pull of the rail node. Longfei Avenue, as a city-level facade, establishes a landmark in the posture of the "Rubik's Cube" rotating axis; the inner street adopts the organic curves of "Red Valley" to soften boundaries, allowing nature, art and crowds to collide in flow.
Design Innovation: Multidimensional Integration and Scene Upgrade
TOD is deeply coupled with scenes, and the metro is seamlessly connected to commercial circulation lines—transforming "transfer" into "strolling transfer". A multi-first-floor three-dimensional circulation system is constructed through sunken plazas, canyon-style connecting bridges and roof gardens, eliminating physical and psychological boundaries. Commercial space undergoes "urbanization" upgrade: "CITY CENTER Rubik's Cube" shapes an inspiring urban interface, "Red Valley" creates a flowing street interface, functions are arranged vertically, and horizontally connected to urban corridors. Multidimensional landscape penetration forms a three-level ecological framework of "Green Valley—Green Corridor—Green Carpet" through a three-dimensional greening system. The layout of diverse scenario-based spaces adopts curatorial commercial logic, setting up rich spatial highlights, and the multi-first-floor blocks co-build a community CITY CENTER living room.
Design Challenges: Precise Balance and Cultural Integration
Deeply coupling TOD with diverse scenes in limited space requires balancing transportation convenience and functional comfort. The "urbanization" upgrade of commercial space demands integration of local culture to showcase fashion sense and regional characteristics. Multidimensional landscape penetration must ensure the ecological stability of the three-dimensional greening system, select plants reasonably and solve maintenance issues. The layout of diverse scenario-based spaces needs to meet diverse needs and coordinate architectural structure, circulation and spatial organization.
