Chongqing · CoFco · Central Park · Ruifu

COFCO Central Park Ruifu in Chongqing is set within a new district's central park, a city known for its mountainous terrain and layered topography. The design seeks to interpret Chongqing through a vocabulary of direct minimalism and mountain-water rhythm. The entrance uses Wyndham marble gray with black glass in straight-line-to-curve composition, conveying composure and refinement. Starry-sky lighting is woven into the ceiling, connecting ideal and reality, light and darkness. The art gallery's front hall features a red sculpture, with two dramatically shaped Chinese tallow trees creating a theatrical, stage-like atmosphere. Descending stepped waterfalls leads to a lake that offers quiet, purifying power. Under tallow-tree shade, a wall relief of mountains faces a round red sun, geometrically condensed into a Red Sun over Rivers landscape. Outside the art gallery, a sunken forest living room and a mountain-crossing rainbow bridge add leisure space and social sequence. The project leverages Chongqing's complex terrain and elevation changes to create folded mountain-water living, with color interactions that draw residents closer and detailed refinement that lengthens the time spent engaging with the site. The design team describes the work as a three-movement composition: a solo that sets the minimal entrance language, an intermezzo in red that introduces emotional warmth, and a rondo that unfolds the mountain-water narrative across the lake and garden. The landscape extends from the gallery through the forest living room, where residents can pause, converse and watch light shift across the water.
