Boulevard One is a townhome neighborhood within the Lowry community in Denver. Consilium Design worked to create visually interesting spaces for pedestrian and vehicular pathways with select plantings, hardscapes and site furnishings. Signature plants work within a hierarchy through each space to provide an environmental service as well as define visual cues to enhance safety along corridors and improve the atmosphere of each private space.
The Met at Boulevard One is a 3.7 acre multi-family project within Denver. The design focused on using drought tolerant grass materials to facilitate a landscape pallet that focuses on a predominately low water demand. A walk system helps enhance pedestrian connectivity to the surrounding open space and street corridors.

Lifestyle— Refined outdoor living in both public and private spaces accommodates a variety of different living styles
Culture— Mindful appreciation of the region’s history and an array of development styles embellishes the community’s sense of place
Consilium Design’s concept for the Hillside Village at Sun Kingdom was inspired by the client’s commitment to create an “essence of lifestyle”, built upon the highest quality design while aiming to be the finest residential environment in China.
The collaborative effort with Woodley Architectural Group was to create a neighborhood reminiscent of a Mediterranean hillside village with it’s own authentic sense of place, grounded in the unique qualities of the region and its spectacular setting within the Sun Kingdom championship golf course and community.
The physical characteristics of the site presented an opportunity to create a neighborhood design unique to Sun Kingdom and Chongqing. Set in the core of the community with over 50 meters in elevation change, it is highly visible from the main community entry, the future clubhouse and community facilities, the surrounding golf course and other developments.
Living at the Hillside Village at Sun Kingdom presented a new lifestyle opportunity and the finest luxury living for people who value a community with a sense of history and artistic quality. Mr. Gao Xiao Dong, General Manager of Chongqing Techxiang Industrial Company, the developers of Sun Kingdom eloquently concluded that residents “fell in love with the community as the villas selected the residents. The home became a part of their life story.”
Today, Hillside Village at Sun Kingdom is the finest residential community in China.

GWorld Real Estate’s master-planned, transit oriented community is conveniently located just across the Yangtze River, southeast of downtown Chongqing. The Municipality of Chongqing is home to over 30 million people, with 14 million people living in a densely-urbanized region. Development of the GWorld project is a key component of the planned growth of this emerging metropolis. Connected to Downtown Chongqing by light rail, commuter/shuttle bus and highway transit, the GWorld community is ideally located for mixed-use and residential development. Uses surrounding the site include a government office campus and manufacturing facilities that will expand the employment base. A 72-hole championship golf course community is underway to the west and a large community park and open space is planned to the south. Approximately 680,000 square meters of building development is anticipated within the community, including over 60,000 square meters of commercial/retail and as many as 4,000 residential units. An extensive, interconnected system of open spaces, parkways and amenities create the exciting backdrop for new urban living residents.
