Victoria Gardens is a 200-apartment development in the Chaoyang Park district of Beijing. Set on a south-facing site of approximately 10,000sqm, all of the apartments in the ovoid-shaped building overlook a large, open, central courtyard garden. There are 31 apartment types and 17 penthouses with private roof gardens and terraces.

Bates Smart carried out design development of the base building and interior design of the apartments, as well as full design and documentation of the display suites.

The apartments benefit from open plan living areas and large main bedrooms with external balconies. The rich, warm and natural interiors feature timber floors to the living areas, marble bench tops and European equipment in the kitchens, and contemporary detailing – all of which provide a new style of living to the local market.

The clean, modernist, glazed and stone-paved entry pavilion incorporates a boutique food store and coffee shop, and a jewellery box-like cigar shop. The entry leads to a stunning double-height space where a stone-clad swimming pool is top-lit by a large glass skylight.
