The Tangshan Master Planning takes a progressive stance towards living in the city. Looking towards the adjacent park space and public amenities the goal is to create a space that links both commercial, office and residential spaces in an open and welcoming site for people of all ages. Emphasizing the well-being of the people in the site the only traffic access is for emergency vehicles and after hours delivery within commercial regions. People within the site can feel comfortable and at peace, surrounded by vegetation and free from dangerous vehicles zooming through streets. Children, parents and grandparents enjoy the continuous park space integrated between the buildings without needing to worry about an inattentive driver zooming through.

​

The pathways through the site take inspiration from the veins on a leaf, all flowing towards the feature park of Tangshan to the south. The leafs also creates smaller cells or neighborhoods within the site developing a strong hierarchy of communities around which people can gather. Buildings orient themselves inwards to the immediately adjacent park spaces and further to the large green space south. Spacing of structures is optimized to allow to most amount of light per resident or user. The master plan creates a holistic community that emphasizes the experience of residents and visitors as an escape from the hardscape and rush of the city, an oasis in Tangshan.

规划中的园路从自然中叶片上的叶脉走向提取灵感，所有的步道走向都放射式的连接南侧的南湖生态公园。叶子也创造出更小的细胞单元或小的开放社区，从而生成出不同形态的公共汇集场所。建筑的朝向和视野都面向毗邻的绿色公园景观带和间接地面对南部的大片公园绿地。生态的建筑群体现在参数化分析生成出的被动节能设计，为每个用户提供最佳的采光和通风状态。唐山南湖生态开放街区总体规划创造了一个整体的社区环境，强调居民和游客的新体验，为今天拥挤的城市生活提供了一个都市绿洲。
