Changchun longhu shun hill house

Shunshan Fu in Changchun, developed by Longfor Group's Changchun company and designed by DDON, is organised as an "art museum of time," with a spatial rhythm of beginning, development, turning and conclusion that produces an emotional sequence — seeking, listening, realising, arriving — expressed through five scenes that fuse Changchun's history with contemporary art. The first scene, "Seeking the Realm, Asking the Spring Theatre," opens at the mansion gate: a grand door, a still reflecting pool and a symmetrical welcoming tree array signal arrival, with a stone screen and chiselled mountain stones set in careful craftsmanship. Linear interwoven compositions strengthen the entry's territorial and ceremonial quality, and an open light court lets sunlight fall on small bird sculptures perched on stones, evoking a leisurely, elegant life. The second scene, "Listening, Falling Water in a Dancing Forest," takes its cue from Italian Renaissance ballet and extracts a character from the film "The Company" to build a narrative of rise, dance and fall; staggered feature walls, sculpture and a murmuring cascade use a borrowed scenery to delay release, so the girl appears to dance in silver snow. A covered wind-and-rain corridor, lined with stone and metal, frames the rear court as calm and distant. The third scene, "Realising the Realm, Bathing in the Forest and the New Pavilion," moves along the corridor into a shared under-canopy space, a quiet cleansing of the mind beneath natural planting. The fourth, "Floating Light, Hidden Shadow of the Canopy," stages a small theatrical set of sunset, tree shadow, rockery and dappled water: three metal canopies emerge softly through the leaves, their finely detailed grilles carrying the designers' fairy-tale, and by winter frost on the branches glints in the sun. The fifth, "Arriving at the Realm, the Empty Mountain after New Rain," lets clear spring water gurgle over stone, presenting a fresh valley after rain. Across all five scenes, the project fuses Changchun's historical culture with the idea of an art museum of time.
