This case archive documents a brown terracotta facade at Qinqin Shangcheng in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia.
LOPO’s English page used only the regional title, but the matching Chinese case record identifies the project as 呼和浩特和谐园亲亲尚城. The replacement preserves the three original photographs and dated product fields while separating the facade record from unsupported performance and contract claims.
Project identity and dated scope
The matching LOPO Chinese case record supplies the project name and repeats the same location, item, completion month, facade area, storey count and planning programme found in the 2018 English post. That direct match resolves the formerly generic identity.
The record says the photographed facade work was completed in June 2014 and associates it with a 29-storey-above-ground building. It does not identify the architect, facade designer, engineer, main contractor, facade contractor, installer or completion certifier, and it does not define which contractual role LOPO held.
Recorded terracotta panel schedule
| Field | Archive value | Evidence boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Product | Hollow Structure Terracotta Panels | Dated project description; current product/system requires confirmation |
| Item | F5018789 | No current availability, replacement or batch statement is inferred |
| Colour | Dark Brown; purple-coffee family in the Chinese record | Approve current physical samples and an acceptable range |
| Designation | T18 | Source calls this a thickness reference but gives no matching dimension/data sheet |
| Facade area | 14,600 m² | Historical terracotta curtain-wall scope; take-off and supplied/installed split are not stated |
| Panel dimensions and count | Not stated | Do not derive a module or unit count from compressed photographs |
Warm brown tower fields and light vertical bands
The photographs show warm brown panel fields on tall residential elevations, crossed by narrow projecting horizontal bands. A lighter vertical panel strip contains small aligned openings, while darker recessed window/balcony zones reinforce the tower corners. These observations describe appearance only.
Wider development record
The archive gives a total planned development area of 560,700 m² across three phases. Its historical programme includes 17- and 33-storey high-rise residences, 20-storey apartment/garden-house buildings, commercial offices, a clubhouse, kindergarten, supermarket and other supporting uses.
Those figures describe the wider development plan, not the terracotta-clad building alone. The 29-storey and 14,600 m² fields refer to the recorded facade case; the source does not map that facade scope to every tower, phase or current property boundary.
Colour and module
Coordinate current item, panel dimensions, joint grid, colour range, light/brown transitions, corners, openings and approved physical samples.
Support and movement
Qualified project parties must establish substrates, rails, brackets, anchors, gravity/lateral loads, movement, tolerances and replacement access.
Openings and projections
Detail flashings, perimeter seals, drainage, sill/soffit conditions and interfaces at windows, balconies and horizontal bands.
High-rise maintenance
Plan inspection, cleaning, sealant access and panel replacement with safe access and protection for residents and areas below.
Climate and system performance require project evidence
The former page claimed impact and frost resistance, lasting colour, durability, CE conformity, strength, safety, insulation, sound insulation and easy replacement. It linked no item-specific declaration, test method, result, standard, panel dimension, fixing system or complete wall assembly. None of those claims is carried forward.
Hohhot’s location alone is not proof of freeze-thaw, wind, fire, water, corrosion, thermal or acoustic performance. Those requirements and evidence must be established for the identified product and complete proposed system under the actual project’s exposure, height, substrate and governing regulations.
- exact building/phase, elevations, survey, substrates and responsible project parties;
- current panel item, dimensions, tolerances, colour range, quantities and approved samples;
- complete support/enclosure build-up, loads, anchors, movement, joints and falling-object safeguards;
- drainage, waterproofing, openings, balconies, base, roof/parapet and adjoining-material interfaces;
- project-specific structural, fire, weather, freeze-thaw, thermal, acoustic and maintenance requirements; and
- applicable standards, authority approvals, calculations/tests, representative mock-up and inspection records.

Prepare a brown terracotta facade enquiry
Share the project and phase, building elevations, panel module and finish, current item reference, substrate and support concept, interfaces, quantities, exposure, required evidence, governing standards, mock-up plan and programme. Final selection, engineering, enclosure design, installation and compliance remain project-specific.
