Emerald Courtyard is located in the Yanghu Region of Yuelu District, Changsha, to its north situating the Yanghu Wetland, and to its east lying Xiang River. The design concept of this project is inspired by the ideal surrounding environment, as well as the site's excellent ecological conditions. Based on the residents' demand for enjoyable living experience, the peripheral area of the site is built to be an open park embellished with luxuriant vegetation, while the inner part of the community is designed as an urban forest with idyllic residential ambience. The design well integrates natural elements into residential landscape, creating a kind of tranquil harmony between nature and everyday life in this livable space. Thus, residents in this forest-like community can not only enjoy a friendly coexisting relationship with the nature, but also fully immerse themselves in the cozy tranquility away from daily hustle and bustle.
