Lingxi Garden is the first residential garden developed and constructed by Qianhai Administration and China Merchants Group in the Mawan area of Qianhai. As one of the three plots of the Qianhai Free Trade Center Comprehensive Plot Startup Zone, Lingxi Homeland has an area of about 1. 37 hectares and is adjacent to the Silk Road Corridor (Green Axis Park) and Huitong School. As a high-quality shared urban center in Qianhai Mawan area, the original intention of the AECOM team was to maximize the space value of the site, provide free dream-making space for urban life, and create an innovative outdoor living environment experience. One of the challenges faced by the project team was how to determine the design theme and positioning for the three different plots (office towers, apartments, and residences) in the start-up area and form an integrated landscape space with each other. After several design workshop discussions with the client, planning, and construction teams, the design interpretation of three different themes from "connection to nature" to "high mountain and flowing water" and "curved water and flowing fragrance" was determined. Under the theme of "Mixed Water Flowing Fragrance", we searched for the livable green valleys in the urban forests, and felt the floating jungle landscape where the flowers fell from time to time and the fragrance of the water flowed far away. We define Lingxi Homestead as a part of the adjacent Mawan Green Axis Park. In response to the Green Axis Park, the concept of green, art, and health is introduced to form a permeable park landscape. Instead of the entrances and high walls of the traditional high-end residences, we adopted the concept of substitution of virtual and real, dynamic entrances and borderless walls. This is also one of the differences between Lingxi Homes and other residential projects. The design uses "Qushui Liuxiang" as the theme of design creation, inspired by the changes of musical sonata styles, and interprets the ultimate garden experience of "Qushui Liuxiang". The overall layout is composed of five levels: "green base", "curved water necklace", "gateway", "floating bamboo forest living room", and "dream garden". "Green Base" uses the green carpet infiltrated by the 3. 36 hectares of green space in the Green Corridor Park as the design base, integrating all activity spaces and fire-fighting venues. On the return home route, the "Qushui Necklace" drops water around the living room and the planting pond, creating the image of alternating virtual and real curved water. "Portal" The front door with unique ritual sense highlights the unique display surface of high-end residences along the street and is also a transition space for entering the inner courtyard and on the route of starting, carrying, and turning. The "floating bamboo forest living room" creates a unique water bamboo forest, densely interlaced, and with reflections, creating the ultimate artistic conception of curved water and flowing fragrance. The rest area provides an ideal outdoor living room for friends gathering and social negotiation. The "Dream Garden" is set up in the three-dimensional all-age activity area to stimulate the senses and provide a space for interaction, exploration or meditation. Landscape design has the following six design highlights: Three-dimensional compound all-age activity venue. From the ground floor, overhead floor to the refuge floor, fitness activity spaces are tailored for residents of different ages. Echoing the design theme of "Aromatic Water Necklace", focusing on the design of floating bamboo forests and outdoor living rooms. Art exhibition garden. On the homecoming route, introduce installation art, and let the art gallery walk you home. A refined and rich urban oasis. Different spaces highlight the different methods of minimalism, refinement, and multi-layer planting, creating a five-sense journey of planting fantasy exploration. The five senses landscape of ultimate comfort. Pay attention to the landscape experience with different senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. Use a variety of landscape materials and landscaping techniques to create exquisite and comfortable garden use. The meticulous living experience. There are baby stroller parking spaces in the children's activity area in the garden; the leisure space is equipped with smart facilities such as outdoor power supply and WIFI, caring for every detail of life, so that residents can experience the warmth and care of home.
