K. Wah Riverside E18 Residence / EID Arch + Shanghai Tianhua Architectural Design + Aedas

Located near the riverfront area in Pudong District, Shanghai, K. Wah Riverside E18 Residence is a multifamily housing project with over 110 apartment units on a tight site surrounded by dense residential neighborhoods. In an environment where scale and speed are hyper-valued in the realm of development, the design of E18 Residence intends to break the mold of mass produced homogenous housing typologies in China, creating a contemporary housing typology with a contextually sensitive approach to its community and urban environment. This modern addition to the multilayered neighborhood introduces new dimension and dynamism to the urban context and community, giving new identity to the otherwise non-descriptive district.
