Residential Developments (Apartments)

The Master of luxury residences on China’s Pearl River

Designed by LWM Architects + ShangHai Yue Jie Architectural Design, the residential building’s large glass curtain walls reflect the natural surroundings on both sides of the Guangzhou river

Located in New Haizhu Bay, The Master’s large glass curtain walls reflect the area on both sides of the Pearl River, therefore the beauty of both the city and the natural scenery can be enjoyed from home. 

Visually, the buildings interact with the surrounding landscape. The panoramic views towards the south outline a scene of luxury.

The concept allows residents to experience a futuristic lifestyle in perfect harmony with the scenery; whether it is from inside the lobby, the sales centre or a residential space, private or common spaces, the natural landscape permeates every aspect of life.

The reception is located at the end of a corridor, where it forms a cantilevered composition in relation to the main background. The floating effect produced evokes the image of a boat floating by the river.

The designer created a formal entrance to the sales centre using leather, metal and black and white slabs. 

The “landscape station” hidden on the 10th floor is a true “living room in the sky”. Its uniquely-designed window allows residents to enjoy a 360° view, providing forward-thinking comfort to the modern user. 

A minimalist approach has been adopted on every corner of the space, from the exteriors to the interiors. Looking at the building from a distance, every balcony seems to be floating in the air, integrating with the skyline like radiant artworks.

Regarding the interiors, Lee Weimin “abstains from superficial decorations in order to focus on quality of life”, to create an apartment where residents feel in harmony with nature and the community.

The living room of each unit in the project connects to the wide-view balcony. The designer embraces balcony landscaping to provide residents with endless, relaxing sceneries outside the window.

Sliding doors and glass materials are used as partitions to the interior area. The solution creates a flowing open space, one that is able to shift as freely as the residents so desire, while maintaining order in a modern, versatile home. 

The gray lacquered walls of the type C apartment’s kitchen turn into the ceiling, creating a strong sense of volume. The background of the TV area combines white lacquer with a dark gray slate wall. Thus, primary and secondary tones are clearly distinctive and their key features stand out well. 

Adjacent to the Pearl River, The Master makes the most from the unique perspective of a waterfront residence, procuring a new elegant lifestyle, harmonising interiors with architecture.
