ONE SWAN BAY, Camel’s first real estate project in Guangzhou, stands proudly at the heart of Baietan CBD—the core of one of Guangzhou’s five world-class landmark business districts. Surrounded by premier river views, the convergence of three major rivers, and the Bay Area’s headquarters economic hub, this rare location commands city-wide prestige. Upholding the brand values of freedom, resilience, and innovation, ONE SWAN BAY combines international design expertise with beautiful architecture and exceptional craftsmanship to create a new standard of high-quality living for Greater Bay Area elites. Located on a peninsula-like site, ONE SWAN BAY enjoys distinctive waterfront views. The building arrangement makes full use of the city’s riverside greenbelt, creating a harmonious layering between the urban fabric, architecture, and river scenery—where the unique river views become the architectural anchor. The design centers on human experience, with three towers configured to optimize views: two 80-meter towers set back on the site, and a 50-meter tower positioned along the riverfront. Each tower features a floor plate of about 600m2, resulting in slender building forms with comfortable spacing between them. This arrangement not only offers pleasing aesthetics but also promotes a diverse urban lifestyle by providing public spaces with optimal views, sunlight, and natural airflow. Leveraging the corner location, all towers are rotated 45 degrees to face the waterfront. This positioning avoids direct alignment with other towers and adjacent structures, enhancing privacy for residents. Additionally, the rotation improves views and encourages the natural circulation of wind and light inside the buildings.
