Jin Hongji · Spring is blooming

Jinke Jin Hongji Chun Nuan Hua Kai is a residential demonstration landscape of 6,500 square meters in Xiao Yao Wan, Dalian, developed by Dalian Fengmao Real Estate, designed by Puban Design, scene-built by Shenyang Rushu Landscape and constructed by Longyuan Construction and Jinglin Landscape, from October 2019 to June 2020. Xiao Yao Wan is the purest bay in Dalian and the last south-facing bay on its eastern shore, on a sun-warmed slope backed by native forest in the Jinpu New Area, combining the economic momentum of the free-trade zone with the international business-district positioning. The design concept, Dreaming of Mountain and Sea, is a perception and imagination of mountain, sea and dream, sensing the site's mood of mist on mountains and distant, high sky, and imagining a space where all things mingle and a leisurely dream lingers between mountain and sea. The project is only 700 meters from the coastline, tucked between native forest and sea, and the entry frames the first step home from the beach: an arched white fiberglass portal along the street, pure and light, seen from afar as a drifting ribbon tied around the mountain, paired with black water-washed stone and a self-luminous white logo. The turning space emphasizes the relationship between heaven and earth through a circular sky well that links the site to blue sky and clouds, a white floating ring that frames light and cloud as an oil painting; beneath it, a zen garden raises a miniature mountain at the center, surrounded by moss and small grasses that touch memory of nature. The valley-walk scene narrows into a streamlined landscape canyon formed by feature walls, white as sea foam on one side, black as reefs on the other, producing strong contrast and clear guidance; the winding counterpart walls recall waves breaking on reefs and bring the city's memory into the site as a continuous landscape system, with seagull sculptures guiding visitors into immersive experience, and the roughness of coastal reefs set against the softness of planting. At the end of the canyon, a cascade opens the view toward the sales-gallery forecourt, whose curving lines continue the rhythm of waves to form a flowing enclosed space, with a quiet corner for tea and furniture whose specific shapes echo a bay of water. The second-floor viewing balcony takes in the whole bay in a sweeping, minimalist, streamlined composition that resolves the site grade into a landmark landscape, expressing the mountain-sea emotion the designers sought. The project is positioned as the quality-improvement product of Xiao Yao Wan, carving every natural gift into a tribute to living.
