Nanjing Health Care Center opening area

Elderly care is a topic increasingly mentioned as China enters an aging society. Under the Healthy China 2030 national strategy, Nanjing uses industrial thinking to address elderly care services, meet diverse care needs, and improve service quality. The Nanjing Yiyang Care Center is located in Lishui District, beside the Qunli Station on Metro Line S7. Positioned as a one-stop comprehensive care community, it is currently the largest CCRC senior living community project in Nanjing. Lishui is known as Nanjing's back garden and enjoys exceptional natural environmental resources. The design integrates health with nature, creating an age-friendly landscape that meets elderly people's psychological needs, activity characteristics, and spatial socialization. The garden is inspired by Yuan Mei's Suiyuan Shihua poetry talks, carving three gardens and fifteen scenes that express the mood of rock streams, deep forests, and Zen waters, deeply implanting the Eastern elderly-care culture of nurturing life, nurturing character, and nurturing the heart into the details of the garden. The first phase, implemented by the Shunjing Landscape team, has been completed and presented. The project entrance opens the landscape prologue with the Reflecting Cave Heaven main scene. A white irregular dome arch, clad in natural-texture coating, echoes the black logo landscape wall above and below, the whole being natural and pure. A clear water curtain pours from the top of the arch, connecting and blending with the entire space. The dome structure has large volume and span; the irregular gradient form is narrower below and wider above, with the cantilevered portion spanning nearly twenty meters. To achieve the ideal landscape effect, the project team engineered the structure carefully while maintaining the sculptural quality of the archway as the arrival gesture.
