Lijiang Taohuayuan

Lijiang Taohuayuan is a residential complex in Lijiang, Yunnan Province, China. The site lies on the bank of Wenbi Sea, close to Wenbi Mountain. The buildings rise gradually from the lake in the west towards the east, so that more homes gain a view of the water. The plan includes two-story compounds, four-story courtyards, duplexes, eight-story condominiums and a town center with commercial services. The facades apply local Naxi elements, such as wooden lattice windows, with modern methods. Gardens are placed around single buildings to bring the landscape indoors.

Lijiang Taohuayuan Residential Architecture by gad was recognized as a grand example of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Lijiang Taohuayuan Residential Architecture received the Silver A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2022. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design recognition program which honors excellent design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
