Tags: Landscape, Residential, Space, Modern, Minimalistic, Garden
Production Technology: The progressive design of the walls and hallway of the water landscape, with the large and quiescent water landscape and the tall zelkovas, creates the fascinating reflection of greenery plants. Such exquisite public space naturally distinguishes the community from the outside world. The changes of space developed by the space and plants reciprocally interacted harmoniously integrates the entrance of the community with the surrounding natural environment.
Design Challenge: The bold design idea removes the concrete ceiling of the underground floor, where is therefore built with a sunken garden with adequate sunlight and fresh air. The hallways, on the 2nd floor, is connected to multiple roof gardens. The hallways outside the building walls, both of which have a gap of 1.5 meters have the gorgeous greenery plants on both sides. The circular hallway is connected to the sunken garden, whose reflection of the water landscape is the most splendid scene.
Research: The thoughtful arrangement of traffic flows not only creates the intriguing experience of space, also builds the underground floors where has the abundant greenery plants, sunlight and fresh air. The diversity of the public space creates an enlivening community life with the vertical afforestation.
Inspiration: The entrance of the residential community is decorated with the minimalistic geometric water landscape, walls alongside the buildings, and enframed scenery of plants, all of which maximize the space of the greenery community courtyard and create an excellent quality of living environment as well.
Operation Flow: The circular tall traffic flow, in vertical scale in the central area, not only integrates the public space on 1F and B1F with the horizontal traffic flow of the staircase, also consolidates the public space on 1F and 2F with the circular traffic flow of the staircase. The community has the wheelchair ramps, and its overall public space is integrated with the horizontal and circular traffic flows in different floors.
