Located in close proximity to Beijing’s international airport, this mixed-use residential development encompasses 70,000m2 of apartments atop a bustling commercial center.

Utilizing public space to its south, the development opens up to a long, linear park, effectively doubling a resident's perceived living space.

Flanked by apartments on each side, the enclosed space acts as a promenade of commercial activity while creating a refuge from noise pollution created by the international airport and busy highway.

In contrast to the typical Chinese skyscraper, copy paste mentality, the T3 development aims to consolidate and layer program horizontally, keeping with the concept of linear flow.

Floor to ceiling glazing for living spaces affords a luxurious ambiance in crowded Beijing.

Conceived of as three integrated parts, the building is at once, solid and permeable. Designed as a static defense from external noise pollution, the complex offers its residents a community within its arms. 

Perceived as a pourous gateway, the development conducts the flow of people and traffic through and around its' communal spaces.

A diagonal trussing system helps support heavy cantelevers, while the building’s facade includes passive systems to help regulate and dissipate heat, while offering its residents operable elements, to facilitate optimal ventilation.

Both wings are connected by multiple levels of skybridges.
