Hill Mansion is a landscape design completed in 2021 in Nanjing, China. The site lies close to the waterfront of the Yangtze River, so the surrounding scenery is borrowed as part of the composition. Planting forms an undulating skyline that blends with the natural environment. Red maple trees, well known in the Qixia District, shape the main theme. At the entrance, a curved concrete wall represents wind moving between valleys, forests and water. A central pool at the lowest point of the site collects and purifies rainwater.

- Production Technology
- The lighting is mainly functional lighting, which avoids using high glare light sources. The main function lamps are equipped with solar modules and a time-sharing control system to reduce energy consumption.
- Design Challenge
- The rainwater collected from the ground is given priority to meet the water use of the landscaped pool. The pool is equipped with an additional water storage module, which can be reserved to a certain extent to meet the water supply needs of the landscape when the rainwater is insufficient.
- Project Duration
- The project finished in 2021 in Nanjing, China.
- Operation Flow
- The main entrance takes nature as its source of inspiration, transforming "wind" into a concrete streamlined landscape wall, which penetrates between valleys, forests and water, and blends with each other. It creates a scene of maple leaves falling with the wind.
- Research
- Ecological permeable bricks are used on the large surface of the paving. The stone-like surface layer has good water permeability, and it is used with underground water storage modules to form a water storage and reuse system.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the famous red maple scenery in Qixia, the design concept is to create charming maple landscapes to attract people and remain the poetry and happy time in life. The project will witnesses the growth of the maple trees and the future development of the community in the city.
