Yuexiu qingshan lake star city

Yuexiu Qingshanhu Xingyue City sits in the Qingshanhu Sci-Tech City sector west of Hangzhou, immediately beside the 4A-rated Qingshanhu scenic area, the closest part of Lin'an to Hangzhou, with design by YAS Design and interiors by Suzhou Gold Mantis. As cities expand and the relationship between people and community frays, the project aims to create beautiful living scenarios that rebuild natural links among people and between people and environment, integrating fun technology with modern architecture and placing human needs at the center. The site's natural grade difference is its greatest geographic feature, and the masterplan exploits the terrain, taking forms from mountain and water and extending space vertically to produce vivid scenes across phases one to three, each with a distinct character. Along the community's outer edge, six ribbon-like urban frontages are derived respectively from mountain path, hillock, terrace, cliff, tableland and ocean, producing rich visual and participatory experiences and returning an improved city image. The main entrance abstracts mountain form into interlocking geometric volumes that extend an originally tight frontage horizontally; beyond the porch, a large mirror water feature uses grade change to make water seem to pour down, screening out the city. The pool exploits the slope for a rhythmic composition, mirror water reflecting sky and cloud; its irregular paving echoes mountain form and answers Lin'an's mountain-city culture, surrounded by dense greenery for a forest-resort feeling. The infinity pool, green islands and blue mosaic tiles evoke a seaside holiday, and adults' and children's zones are split for function and safety. The Gravity Playground uses the site's existing two-meter grade as a three-dimensional adventure ship: the Explorer's hull is a multi-use lawn, its bow a two-meter cantilevered platform with a slide, its deck center a deep-sea tunnel connected by climbing net, and the space beneath the bow a colorful challenge world. Surfaces shaped by ocean currents let children jump through digital games, ride undulating wave slopes and play with seesaws and rocking toys, while a sunken rubber field simulates an ocean vortex and turns a simple science experiment into art. Beyond the playground, dawn redwood groves bring quiet transition home. A looping leisure route connects fun nodes with seating and a dense cherry grove that becomes a photo-worthy lawn in spring. In the in-between buildings, the small but complete first-phase mid-rise zones merge play and technology: a forest garden and a flowing-light-year device that combines energy-conversion science exhibits with fashionable lighting, plus a youth sports ground designed as a social place. The project is presented as a bold attempt to fuse artistic landscape, technology and human experience, opening a poetic mountain dwelling community.
