Sunac Hongdao No.1 Courtyard

Sunac Hongdao No. 1 Academy in Qingdao is the tenth of Sunac's top-tier No. 1 Academy series, chosen for Hongdao central bay. The series emphasizes customization rather than standardized replication, with each project representing its city's highest residential standard. Qingdao's character combines blue sea and sky, green trees and red tiles, while local liyuan courtyard architecture combines row houses along streets with inner courtyards, fusing Chinese siheyuan and Western apartment typologies. The plan is north-high, south-low with three product types. The hotel-style arrival and large welcoming feature wall convey dignity, with vehicle-pedestrian separation for safety. The central landscape garden uses symmetrical lattice pergolas for order, surrounded by water and soft seating. Vertical variation enriches spatial layers, folding four seasons into the garden. The colorful children's area activates participation, integrating a full-age growth system with custom play equipment for every age group. Drawing blackboards, bird's-nest swings, cycling and running paths are woven into planting, lawn and paving. The design uses placed rocks and planting to create different spatial moods with simple, fashionable lines, pursuing neo-Oriental minimalism. The courtyard-entry gate uses symmetrical ritual proportions; from traditional garden to high-rise zone, gates softly separate the historic district from the lawn area, producing mutual framing and deepening spatial depth.
