Text description provided by the architects
Where spring breeze blows, there is poetry and the distant horizon. Swallows murmur of the ideal life. Hidden in the mountains, set apart from the noisy secular world, watching layered ridges in evening mist, seeing sunset glow in the clear sky, listening to birdsong in the empty mountains, and feeling the mountain seasons among a hundred flowers, bright moon, gentle breeze, and falling snow.—Greentown Chunfeng Yanyu Hot Spring Wellness Town. From ancient times to the present, mountain dwelling has been the ideal life state of countless scholars and refined souls. Metrostudio's landscape design for Guiyang Greentown Chunfeng Yanyu takes touching the brilliance of the starry river and comfortably hidden in the bird-song green mountains as its design intention. Through a light-intervention approach, using terrain to shape the site, solving the elevation difference problem while meeting basic functional needs, the project creates a relaxed, leisurely, artistic, and modern heart-returning town with a modern, harmonious, simple, place-based, and natural landscape language. From the site entrance, the temperament begins to reveal itself along the central axis, where highlights are distributed in sequence. The core valley area, themed on culture, art, and education, further enriches and elevates the site's character. At the end of the main axis, where the elevation change is most pronounced, a mountain art park serves as the concluding gesture, making the overall humanistic and artistic character of the site more evident. The overall landscape sequence draws on surrounding ecological landscape resources, echoes the architecture and interior spaces, and constructs a natural living realm with crisp, clean line elements and earth-art texture. The forest is a core element of the demonstration area, with tulip trees and other native species forming the green backdrop for the entire wellness town.
