INLONG NARADA RESORT, SHANGHAI CPMG ARCHITECTS
CPMG Architects has been appointed to the latest stage of work at a major leisure resort scheme located to the west of Shanghai. The practice – which is headquartered in Nottingham – has an international base in Hangzhou, and has been working on the Inlong Narada Resort scheme since the masterplan stage in April 2022, having been brought in by the site’s hotel operator Narada. The redevelopment of a large, former quarry site – which spans 530 acres – includes the construction of a hotel, reception building, hilltop villas, and cliff top bar, all centred around a ‘blue water’ lake, and already well underway.
CPMG will design and deliver the resort’s spa complex, which will include what’s thought to be the longest infinity pool in China, as well as 37 luxury lakeside villas. Materials will be used from the landform left from the former quarry to reduce waste and the impact of the supply chain. The spa centre villas and spa centre itself utilise the natural stone found in the immediate vicinity, “creating a design that is completely cohesive with the setting – enhanced by timber elements to introduce warmth into the space,” said CPMG managing director Ricard Flisher. Progress on the Inlong Narada Resort scheme is “expected to progress at pace,” said the architects, with a view to opening in May 2023.

H2-OFFICE-TOWER, WIESBADEN, GERMANY STUDIO 3DELUXE
German architects Studio 3deluxe were commissioned by Wiesbaden-based urban development company SEG to come up with design options for a site between the industrial park and the Rhine. The construction of a timber-hybrid high-rise building, along with a refurbished, listed “classic high-rise” from the 1960s – forms the core of the project. It is part of a redevelopment along the Rhine riverfront that “serves as a model for sustainable, smart and future-oriented urban development,” said the architects. The sun-facing facades of the 15-storey high-rise building are partially covered with PV modules, which also serve as shading elements. The facade facing the river has been “twisted diagonally” to achieve maximum efficiency from the large-scale PV installation. Large floor-to-ceiling window areas with black frames lend the building its “modern warehouse” appearance, and reference the industrial neighbourhood. A circular economy approach includes the use of sustainable and renewable raw materials, a modular construction (with a “high degree of prefabrication” as well as recyclable building components. The building will largely generate its own energy; in addition to the PV array, geothermal energy and use of the river water as a heat exchanger “maximise low-emission operation.” The public realm has reduced car spaces, and is primarily dominated by open, green recreational areas right on the waterfront. The building has several green terraces including a rooftop vegetable garden, an outdoor gym, recreation pavilion, and areas to encourage wildlife. The neighbouring 1960s high-rise building – the H2O-Tower – has been reconfigured to offer open plan office space.
