Boyue Fengxi Terrace in Jinan, developed by Jinan Huiming Real Estate with landscape by DDON and interior by Shenzhen Dejian, is positioned around the idea of entering the rhinoceros platform's forest sound, tasting the phoenix mansion's distant view and living an artistic life. Jinan's cultural lineage runs from Shun plowing Lishan in the Records of the Grand Historian through the Longshan culture and the statesmen of the Northern Song, Li Qingzhao and Xin Qiji, and the project seeks to define a higher social circle through artfully layered space. The entry gate treats the building as borrowed scenery and the landscape as its extension; despite a 30-meter building depth, an integrated strategy breaks the mass into pieces and meshes landscape with architecture through sculptural objects that carry both block-like volume and the tension of art space. At the opposite end of the entry axis, a curtain of colored LEDs forms a glowing screen that brings technological, interactive atmosphere to the otherwise calm courtyard. The landscape uses multi-directional turning spaces to relieve the visual fatigue of the interior mass, pairing the interactive light curtain, a still reflecting pool that doubles the structures, and metallic tree-like sculptures to intensify the dialogue between outdoor rooms and the clubhouse's ground-floor program, projecting a one mountain, one tree, one world atmosphere. The clubhouse's two interior courtyards are handled in a modern, simple, bright language: one is purely a viewing court that strips away ornament, while the other combines stepping stones with a still pool in a line-based, participatory outdoor conversation room. Low evergreen shrubs alternate on both sides, while selected specimen trees screen unwanted views and concentrate the visual focus, producing a three-dimensional landscape from every angle.
