都市人的新生活方式是关于在垂直的集群中生活在一起的独特的生物。一个生命的组成，有自己的魅力，独特性和目的，共存在一起，就像像素的颜色组成一个美丽的艺术作品，由活着的灵魂。该项目的目标人群是那些具有高度个性的都市人，他们的生活充满意义、色彩、对比、组合在一起，并延伸成一排排拼贴画，以表现线与线之间的生活。
New lifestyle for urbanists is about unique beings living together in vertical clusters. A composition of lives with own charismas, uniqueness, and purposes, co-exist together, like pixels of colours forming a beautiful work of art, painted by living souls. The project targets urbanists who have high individuality who live their lives with meanings, with colours, with contrasts, put together, and stretched into lines of collages to represent lives between the line.

“Living Between The Line”

受伊恩·达文波特（Ian Davenport）画作的启发，这组充满活力的线条融合在一起，创造出一幅具有各种动作的唯美画作。每一种颜色在近距离观察时都表现出独特的特征。在远处，许多独特的颜色结合在一起（但不是混合）成为一件统一的艺术品。这说明了这一代人的生活方式。
Inspire by Ian Davenport’s painting, this vibrant set of lines has fused together to create an aesthetically pleasing painting with various movements. Each individual colour expresses unique characters at close observation. At a distance, many unique distinctive colours combine, (but not mixed) to become a single united piece of art. That says it all about how this generation is living their lives.

The Architecture Design

High Rise Living

住在高层公寓的魅力在于有机会从顶层欣赏城市景观，将自己从繁华的城市中提升出来。建筑师设计的建筑达到了它的最大高度限制，以尽可能多的房间（如果不是全部的话）提供最好的视野。
The charm of living in a high rise condominium is the opportunity to enjoy the cityscape from top-level, lifting oneself above the bustling city. The architect has designed the building to reach its maximum height limits to provide the best views to (if not all) as many rooms as possible.

The Couple Block

楼层平面图和体量遵循“夫妻街区”的概念，使建筑的整体形象更具竞争力。首先是前面建筑的颜色较浅。在连续的垂直萌芽框架之间是垂直的彩色虚线，与建筑的深色色调形成对比，给人一种轻巧的感觉。这些被封锁的照片给人的印象是一对聪明的年轻夫妇穿着晚礼服和燕尾服优雅地大步走上红地毯。此外，连体块形式有助于减少走廊的可视距离，它将一条长走廊切割成两条交错的走廊，并通过末端的开口观看。
The floor plans and massing follows the “Couple Block” concept making the overall image of the building more competent. First is the lighter colour as the front building. Between the continuous vertical budding frames are vertical dashes of colours, giving a light and delicate feeling in contrast to the darker tone of the building. The blocked are staggering giving an impression of a smart young couple in an evening dress and a tuxedo gracefully striding down the red carpet. In addition, the Couple Block form helps to reduce the corridor’s visual distance by cutting one long corridor into two staggering corridors with a view through an opening at the end.

Corner window

Every unit facade has an uneven profile to create a corner window. Aside from an unobstructed view, corner windows represent a gesture of freedom.

Extra height | Double volume

即使是单面单元（标准的单层单元）也被设计成具有超高的天花板。所有复式单元都有一个连接上下楼层的双容积空间。双高窗，任何单元的每个角落都能被自然光照亮。
Even a simplex unit (standard, one-storied unit) is designed to have an extra high ceiling. All duplex units always have a double volume space that connects the upper and lower floor. With double-height windows, every comer of any unit is always illuminated by natural light.

The Common area

除了住宅单元的设计质量外，公寓的生活质量在很大程度上取决于公共空间的提供。比提供广阔的空间、多种功能更适合目标住宅的生活方式更为重要。
Aside from the design quality of the residences’ units, Condominiums’ quality of lives depends largely on the provision of common spaces. More than the vast provision of space, a variety of functions the fit the target residences’ lifestyle is more important.

该项目旨在最大限度地利用公共空间，从一楼的协同功能区、游泳池、5楼的设施和屋顶空中公园的活动体育设施。
The project is designed to utilize common space fo the maximum capacity, from1st floor co-functions area, swimming pool, and facilities on the 5th floor and active sports facilities on rooftop sky Park.

Co-Working space

Co-Living space

Co Kitchen/ Co Dining Space

Co Gardening Space

Landscape architecture design for the project is still under the same concept of Living Between the Line, which also refers back to the painting in Architecture design as well.

This later interprets into graphics languages within the landscape, for example, the scatter hardscape, seating area, fragment of the wall, swimming pool, drop-off, and road, etc. This all represents the relationship between the following coexistence.

Hardscape | Softscape

Urban | Green

Human | Nature

Colours | Black/White
