Situated at NO9, Shou Ti South Road of Haidian District, INTERWEST (project name: Reconstruction Project of Qingqi West Factory Site) extends to Shou Ti South Road to the east, Chegongzhuang West Road to the south, Banjieta North Street to the north (planned municipal road and the red line is 20m wide), and Banjieta East Road to the west (planned municipal road and the red line is 20m wide). |

Planned construction land is 7.41 hectares. The total building area above ground is 285,300m2, the volumetric fraction is 3.85, and green land rate is 30%.
According to the plan, one south-north boulevard (internal route) separates the whole project into two parts: East Zone and West Zone:
·West Zone is pure top-grade residential area. The total land area is 3.91 hectares, the total building area above ground is 117,300 m2, and the volumetric fraction is 2.88.
·East Zone INTERWEST Commercial Center is a top-grade general commercial buildings complex integrating office building, hotel, commercial, food and beverage, and commercial chamber functions. The total land area is 3.5 hectares, the total building area above ground is 168,000m2, and the volumetric fraction is 4.8. |

INTERWEST is situated at an important location in the city. This location is rare land resource of the city; the developer cherishes this plot and fully considers the social, cultural, scientific, and ecological significance of the INTERWEST, and tries to create a new type of city complex in the city center.
The INTERWEST is not a single development project, but a top-grade general commercial complex containing one pure top-grade residential area and one top-grade general commercial complex integrating office building, hotel, commercial, food and beverage, and business chamber functions. These two types of multi-functional property forms are independent and complementary to each other. In Beijing, the present situation is that there’re many pure residential areas, office areas, and commercial areas which are independent to each other and have formed various so-called “blocks” under various names. While the functions inside of each “block” are quite simple, creating several problems such as “residential areas have difficult traffic”, “office areas become sleeping areas at night”, and “congested city traffic”. In the planning of the INTERWEST, we’ve considered creating multiple property forms in the “central governmental affairs area”, bringing the geographic advantages of the INTERWEST into full play, and establishing a model for the future development of city center. |

In the design and planning of INTERWEST, we didn’t follow the normal practice in China that usually abuses “small residential quarter” concept in suburbs into city center, but adopted the “block” concept commonly used in developed countries and divided the whole plot into three blocks: residential area is a comparatively large closed community; business area is divided into two reasonable open blocks of North Block and South Block (the zones are inter-connected underground). “Small residential quarter” usually refers to a closed independent system including residence and its supportive facilities developed in suburbs. Almost all the services are realized by supportive facilities. The clients whom commercials rely on basically come from the internal residents of the small residential quarter, and the whole quarter lacks communication with city.
The “block” concept of INTERWEST makes the residential area become a “tranquil area in noisy environment”. Both the privacy of “small residential quarter” project in suburbs and convenience from supportive facilities in internal business area and the whole city are available. Besides enjoying the abundant clients resources of INTERWEST, Business Area is integrated into the city to the maximum extent to become an organic part of the city. The precondition to realize such advantage is the superiority of the geographic condition of INTERWEST. While this kind of “block” concept brings the advantages of this section into full play, so that architectural forms and cities of different attributes can have exchanges to different degrees, exert different functions, and acquire different resources. In the meantime, reasonable block division improves the traffic and space environment of the city center project to a large extent, so as to prevent the project from becoming a super-large “dead lock”. |

Among the three blocks, residential block is situated in the west and far away from Shou Ti South Road. North Block in business area is along Shou Ti South Road; South Block in business area is located at the crossing of Shou Ti South Road and Chegongzhuang West Road. The North and South Blocks are close to city artery roads and have convenient traffic, form some strong visual images on the city artery roads, and become some bright landscapes on Shou Ti South Road and Chegongzhuang West Road.
Buildings NO1-10 are above the ground of the business area, among which Buildings NO1, 2, 3, 4 & 6 are office buildings, Building NO7 is hotel, Building NO5 is commercial chamber, Buildings 8&9 are top-grade food and beverage facilities, and Building NO10 contains supportive fire fighting facilities. There’s a top-grade fashion and entertainment business street at F/1 under ground. |

INTERWEST enjoys good city traffic location. Under such precondition, the “block” design in INTERWEST makes smooth internal traffic possible. As two blocks, the North Block and South Block in the business area are facing roads (including city roads and internal roads) on four sides; their respective traffic lines are inter-connected to offer convenient traffic to office staff.
Besides temporary parking spaces above ground, the two Blocks are inter-connected in basement. The whole F/2 and F/3 underground are designed into parking spaces, and there’re over 1,300 parking spaces under ground. The parking spaces arrangement in the whole business area: 80 vehicles in 10,000m2, exceeding 65 vehicles in 10,000m2 –the parking spaces arrangement in general business areas in Beijing City. Only enough parking spaces can satisfy the needs of modern office. Besides, in the design, we’ve considered the entries and exits for two single drive ways and two double drive ways. A total of six drive ways can satisfy the needs of vehicles to enter into and exit from the underground garage. |

In the landscape design of INTERWEST, we followed the principle of “planting more big trees”, and fully considered the functions of microclimate adjustment by planting, space separation, rest, and appreciation.
In INTERWEST, the city green belt already implemented is along Shou Ti South Road; the current sidewalk trees (flowering peach) are along Chegongzhuang West Road, already well exerting the function of city artery roads separation.
In the design, we considered planting big trees (e.g. Xinjiang aspen) to separate the plot in the north; using umbrageous trees (e.g. sycamore) to separate residential area from business area; designing a central plaza between North Block and South Block in the business area and planting blossom trees (e.g. Chinese flowering crabapple) on both sides; designing a lighting dry fountain in the middle of the plaza, so as to add fun when water comes out, and make the plaza become a rest and exchange center when no water comes out; in the meantime, it’s also the major entrance leading to the business street at F/1 underground. In addition, both the areas are equipped with courtyards as the rest and exchange location. |
