P R O L O G U E In the summer of 2021,LianFa group commissioned Z+D to build a special garden in Xiamen, which will carry the culture and living spirit of The City of Xiamen, where The Group is located. Xiamen is a graceful "sea garden", with islands, reefs, rocks, stones, flowers and trees reflecting each other. Overseas Chinese customs, southern Fujian culture, coastal cuisine and exotic architecture are integrated. The whole city is surrounded by seawater and the beach is vast, which constitutes a unique urban style of Xiamen. The landscape design is inspired by the "supplementing mountains and hiding the sea" of Shuzhuang Garden, using the overall composition and spatial experience of landscaping, interpreting the artistic conception of Xiamen's forest hills, islands, waves, and jingshi from nature, combined with the new Xiamen decoration style of architecture, to create a natural space that lives with the island and inhabits the forest. This project is the first landing project of Lianfa Group's YueXi label, and the first new Xiamen decorative landscape demonstration area project in Xiamen. Z+D Landscape has the honor to participate in the whole process of label research and development and project landing. NEW AMOY DECO Gulangyu Island in Xiamen embodies half of China's modern history and carries the mission of a special cultural zone and rich human resources. It is also the cradle of the Enlightenment of human society As a humanist, Lianfa extracts the enlightened and elegant modern humanistic spirit, shows the beauty of multiculturalism, and pioneers a new trend of humanistic residence that resonates with human settlements——NEW AMOY DECO Red bricks witness the baptism of centuries. Red brick is also known as rouge brick. Each Rouge brick goes through 13 processes, firing at 1200 ° high temperature for 20 hours and proofing for many times. This is also the red brick exclusive to Lianfa The magnificent arcade is interspersed with shadow waves, which seems to form a beautiful moonlight ring Light and shadow flow over time on the brick walls that resemble artistic sculptures,Write a poem for life Island | Born with the island Born with the island, living by the water Nature and humanity are intertwined, highlighting the poetic life on the waterfront Forest | Choose the forest to live in Between mountains and seas Beyond the hustle and bustle Look for poetic states of life The landscape implants the concept of "island" and "forest", through the sound of water flowing from the small spring, the rainforest plants created by the wushu forest, the shadows of the trees sprinkled through the corridor under the sun, from the auditory and visual senses, to create a scene experience with Xiamen style corridor, emphasizing the permeability of the landscape, and an island picture scroll slowly unfolds. The sound of falling water and the shadows of trees floating on the surface of the water create a scene experience with Xiamen style from the auditory and visual senses. The landscape extracts the "stone" element, jumping into the spring as a companion, walking along the water, and the selected scenery stone is placed in the space. Tree | Home navigation Ancient banyan tree – a landmark home for navigators It's like a lighthouse in the sea After experiencing countless winds and rains, it still guides the direction of home Under the century-old banyan tree, the pavement of the ground in the shape of a wave rolls around it. People sit quietly here and feel the flow of time Designer language: abandoning past experience to do design is always full of uncertainties and challenges. In order to find the landscape design clues of the new Xiamen decoration style, Zhudi and Lianfa have carried out the research and development process for nearly a year. Finally, we returned to our original intention and brought a garden rooted in traditional culture and full of local flavor to Xiamen. Zhudi's greatest ability is to innovate and record beautiful moments of culture. This project has become a special memory in the design experience of Zhudi.
