Award-winning, multi-disciplinary designers creating and delivering experiential commercial developments.

Grand Jeté is a low-density residential development located in Tuen Mun, Hong Kong. Providing 800 residential units, Grand Jeté is developed jointly by CK Asset Holdings Limited and Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited, two of the largest property developers in Hong Kong.

Located in a natural hillside with spectacular mountain and sea views, Grand Jeté is designed to embrace the elegance of nature. It aims to bring nature into life by seamlessly incorporating the surrounding environment into its architecture while providing a relaxing and healthy living environment for the residents. Together with the extensive clubhouse facilities, the four residential towers of Grand Jeté form a circular shape. Regardless of whether residential flats face the sea view or the mountain view, the master layout plan intelligently brings the outside in to allow each of the residents to enjoy the natural environment from the inside.

The Club Relaxcation is the private clubhouse of Grand Jeté. Its unique and expressive building form features a biophilic design by incorporating different natural elements into the exterior and interior. To enhance the connection between the occupants and surrounding landscape, the clubhouse provides different communal facilities that contain elements of nature, including the spacious “Greenview Pool”, “The Green Lawn”, “Celestial Eden” and “The Ruby Trail”. In addition to outdoor amenities, the clubhouse provides over 30 communal facilities for residents’ enjoyment, such as the Ball Count and Game Room.

The project is located in Tianfu New Area, Chengdu. The property owner, China Merchants Shekou, aims to build into a commercial version of Garden City 2.0 Park, one of its product series. As a result, the “Garden City” series brand has been fully upgraded.In terms of its design, the problem of the commercial annex built on the original site being separated due to the municipal corridor was solved through a partially connecting bridge on the second oor and an overpass connecting the interior commercial space on the third oor and above, making it a highlight of the project. Benoy studied the characteristics of the entire building with the intention of shaping a distinctive IP for China Merchants. At the same time, in response to the ecological development concept of Tianfu New Area, the team created a “high oxygen content” immersive shopping centre. The entire building has 8 oors (5 above ground, 3 underground), with a 3-story atrium in the commercial space that forms an iconic “mountain climbing” immersive scene. A vibrant commercial atmosphere is created through pillars that simulate growing trees.
