At the heart of Yiwu’s historic urban core, at the intersection of Chengzhong Middle Road and Xiachemen Road, lies an ancient well dating back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Timeworn and quietly dignified, this modest relic has borne witness to centuries of change and holds a special place in the collective memory of local residents. For generations living around Xiachemen, the well has symbolized both continuity and the commercial spirit of Yiwu. ©Zhuhai Anchored by this historical artifact, China Resources Land has transformed the surrounding site into a vibrant, human-scaled commercial district—environmentally conscious, socially engaging, and deeply rooted in place.

The site was barely big enough for a yard, and it was a hill. Jinbo Choi Jinbo Choi Jinbo Choi Jinbo Choi Jinbo C... More

Choi Jinbo To the young couple, expecting to build a home for themselves and their child, the land must have seemed insufficient and inconvenient. But we saw in it the potential to enjoy both city and nature at the fringe of the urban boundary. Choi Jinbo A triangular plot, given the same area, naturally has longer sides than a rectangular one. We saw an advantage in the fact that one of those long edges faced a 25-meter-wide road. The neighborhood itself had a Janus-like duality: to the north of the new road, sparse factori... More

The Habitat apartment received this name because it is located at the Klee Urban Habitat, a residential building that was also designed by Solo, located in the Mossunguê neighborhood in Curitiba/PR.
