Taitou, Gaocun
Taitou is a newly-built village in Gaocun township, Wuqing District, Tianjin Municipality, People's Republic of China.
Location
Located just two kilometres from the Gaocun exit of the Jingjintang Expressway, Taitou offers excellent transportation links to Beijing and Tianjin.
Taitou is surrounded by agricultural land and largely-unoccupied real estate. Many European-inspired villas and townhouses have been built for several kilometres around Taitou but occupancy rates are still extremely low.
House prices plummeted in 2018 from 15,384 Chinese yuan per square metre to just 11,771 Chinese yuan per square metre in just two months.[1]
Renovation process of 2016-17
Shortly after construction of the Taitou residential compound was completed, and after residents had moved in, major renovation works were carried out on the exterior walls of all 21 buildings at Taitou.
The process included:
- Chipping away the existing stone cladding
- Removing the old Rockwool insulation material from the external walls
- Installing new, upgraded Rockwool insulation material to the external walls
- Painting the exterior walls white
- Painting the exterior walls black
- Placing masking tape on the face of each building to look like bricks
- Painting the buildings beige then peeling off the masking tape to reveal a brickwork pattern
The exterior wall renovation process took nearly 12 months to complete. After the exterior wall insulation was finished, workers planted hundreds of trees and bushes around the residential compound.
