Located just 2000 feet east of the Shitalakshya River near the Kanchon Bridge in Narayanganj, Bangladesh, Waterlily City is a 58.5-acre masterplan that redefines urban living by blending the spirit of Bangladeshi village life with contemporary design and climate resilience. Anchored by a five-star hotel, modular eco-cottages, and a network of courtyard-based housing clusters, the project bridges private, public, and ecological realms through spatial, cultural, and environmental logic.

The west side of the site features mid-rise residential blocks arranged around shared courtyards, evoking the adda culture of rural homesteads. Vertical gardens, community gathering voids, and wind-responsive orientations encourage cross-ventilation and neighborly interaction—offering thermal comfort and a strong sense of belonging.

A central waterbody acts as both spatial divider and environmental asset, channeling southeastern breezes and linking zones through shaded, walkable green corridors. On the east, the Waterlily Five-Star Hotel rises as a climate-conscious hospitality landmark, with angular massing that enhances ventilation, and a colonnaded base inspired by traditional South Asian verandas. Low-E glazing, green roofs, and bird-friendly design measures—including fritted glass, native planting, and downward lighting—protect local biodiversity.

Within the green buffer lies a container-based Eco-Cottage Retreat, designed using recycled steel containers, elevated floors, and solar-powered shading roofs. These modular units promote off-grid living while preserving the landscape through l ow-impact construction.

Together, Waterlily City celebrates climatic intelligence, ecological harmony, and community values—creating not just a place to live, but a place to belong.
