Chongqing Financial Street

Rong Fu by Financial Street Holdings sits on the former Shuangbei Special Steel site in Shapingba District, Chongqing, beside the Jialing River and the southwest side of Shuangbei Bridge. The 67,000-square-metre project includes a demonstration area, low-rise garden housing and high-rise apartments; the first-phase demonstration area covers 6,650 square metres. Chongqing's identity is built on the layered meeting of mountain and city, and on everyday life along the river; ten-li gallery, river stones, the Yan Yu Reef and stilt houses are the city's lasting images. The architecture borrows the stilt-house logic, stacking blocks in asymmetrical, clean volumes whose pure and transparent exteriors match internal functions. The landscape continues the river-water narrative in modern language, evoking the beach life of old Chongqing. A broad arc in the forecourt wraps the main sculptural installation at its centre, sweeping past a simulated mid-river current to maximize water interaction and recover the atmosphere of the riverbank. Elements of mountain and water are abstracted into a unified, contemporary site language, so that every step overlays new and old narratives. A hackberry tree stands in the water, its reflection dancing, recalling the old Chongqing beach. A covered walkway links the rear garden to the show flat, its curved ceiling echoing the forecourt and allowing human silhouettes to meet the water through a medium. The sculpture's concentric circles become the elevation's language, a girl dancing in the water that tells of riverside life. The entrance references the mountain-town gateway: extracted mountain forms are rendered as a modern portal, and the curved viewing path integrates horizontally and vertically into one gesture.
