Quzhou Lixian Future Community Resettlement House

Lixian Future Community lies in southwest Quzhou, bounded by Xinyuan Road to the east, Shuanggang Bridge to the south, the Qu River to the west, and the Yanjiayu island across the water. The master plan stresses openness: a neighborhood center and kindergarten occupy the heart of the community for shared resources, while the ground floor is lifted to create an open, elevated slow-traffic system linking housing clusters, the neighborhood center and kindergarten, and crossing the river to the car-free vitality island. This separates pedestrians and cars while forming a truly open, reachable, playful and safe urban public space, blurring the boundary between community and city. Perimeter ground-floor uses include markets, shops, childcare, elderly care and entrepreneurship support, bringing urban life to the edge. Most resettlement residents are former factory workers who already know one another, giving the community a familiar-society base. Within high plot-ratio constraints, the design seeks a new home that sustains emotional ties while offering dignity. Instead of the uniform monotony of row housing, enclosed inward-facing groups create belonging; to facilitate allocation, resettlement units occupy north-south wings while public rental housing and shared facilities sit on the east-west sides. Mixed populations and full-dimensional layouts generate more casual encounters and conversations.
