Xinsheng Oriental Blessing, Hangzhou
Project Client: Hangzhou Xinsheng Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.
Project Scale: About 110,000㎡landscaping area
Project Location: Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province
Design Time: 2010
Although the design of this project successfully embodies the rich connotation and artistic charm of modern gardens in Hangzhou, the real purpose of the original garden builders was to emphasize creating a mood that can resonate with the emotions, experiences and associations of visitors and the design. In the garden, the integration of a green pine, a few green clusters and a few delicate flowers can contribute to the artistic conception which can be fully felt with heart.
Design Conception:
The elegance and delicacy of Hangzhou gardens are derived from the extensive and profound Chinese culture. The Taoist theory that "The human being follows the laws of the earth, the earth follows the heavens, the heavens follow God, and God must follow nature" has laid down the basic rules of classical gardens for thousands of years. The Zen philosophy of "all the things emerge from the delusions of self-nature" provides theoretical support for the design technique of "watch a big world through the small one" in classical gardens.
Based on the concept of local gardening in Hangzhou, designers create a modern landscape integrating with new design techniques, featuring fresh air, warm sunshine, dynamic streams and forest-like greening.
Facing the mountain and water, the building is designed with unique circular entry to reflect the dignity of the residents. The encircling overhead floor, designed like a wind and rain corridor, connects the three high-rise units. The indoor viewing hall is opposite to the outdoor pavilion, and the tranquil path connects the outdoor garden with the indoor overhead floor, forming a blend of indoor and outdoor landscape. The undulating mountain scenery coupled with abundant planting makes the visitors enjoy a relaxed and elegant living atmosphere.
