ZHUHAI SANJIAO ISLAND’S ECOLOGICAL REVIVAL

The story of Zhuhai’s Sanjiao Island is one of transformation and rejuvenation. This former quarry site is steeped in stories, from its industrial past to its rich and natural present. We used cutting-edge technology to harness this long and winding narrative and bring Sanjiao Island into the future as an ecological attraction. We are designing 100,000sqm of built cultural, educational, commercial, accommodation and entertainment facilities.

 NDA Group specializes in Hospitality, Ski & Mountain, Waterfront, and Culture & Entertainment venues. All of the NDA Group divisions are perfectly aligned with this project. With our 360-degree services, we’ve led the entire project, from strategic planning, conceptual planning, regulatory detailed planning and architectural design.

 While many companies may have sought to hide the raw industrial history of the quarry, we wanted to bring it to the fore and celebrate it. There’s a very granular almost rustic feel to our design, bringing hard rock, bronze browns, and lush greens together to emulate the original space and enhance the colors found in nature.

 There was so much variation in the terrain that we divided the island into 8 zones or worlds, each with their own unique features and activities. This way we could create immersive experiences like glass bottomed walkways, hiking trails, infinity pools and more, all adapted to each world.

 The immersion continues, while extending visitor stay times, by creating hotels uniquely adapted to each world, like the museum hotel hidden in the forests of the tropical hillside, or the hotel right on the edge of a lagoon.

 At NDA Group we design for the future. We use multiple advanced technologies to generate power and efficiently use water. Our seawater desalination plant has just come online, and we will be utilizing wind power to produce water for over 5000 people, while the concentrated seawater runoff will be used for creating an artificial Dead Sea for holistic treatments.

 We’re proud that our bold vision and deep expertise has allowed us to forge a sustainable future of ecological tourism for Sanjiao Island
