The Riverside Guangzhou

We are living in the wave of the era. The world is big and we are small. With busy work, mechanized life, and the pressure of contemporary society, we want to escape desperately. It is difficult to find a balance between life and work. Facing the exhausting life, only by creating a landscape residence that meets the needs of life, can it bring a touch of warmth to the urban people who are alienated from life. The designer takes forest, bird’s nest, and birds in the park as design elements, takes “parks, life, scenes, immersion, care, emotion, and quality” as the core of the design, and reshapes the relationship with the family and neighborhood with the high-quality landscape design. Walking through the lush forest, the misty landscape of bristlegrass guides people to the “Bird’s Nest”. Minimalist geometric style is a representative symbol of modern architecture. The spiritual fortress design extracts architectural geometric language, interprets the beauty of modern geometric lines, and becomes a guide for the quiet soul of the city. The golden sunlight sprinkled through the gaps between the leaves dances with the ripples of the leaping spring. Over the grass slopes, the constantly surging fountain on the ground is reflecting the metal pearl. The commercial street in front of the main entrance is very modern, with leaping spring welcoming guests, and the Madagascar Almond planted in matrix greeting the people returning home to release the tiredness. The integrated design of the tree pond and the bench allows people to take a rest under the shade of the trees after shopping. The sculpture in the center is deconstructed on a sphere. The surface is stainless steel with a mirror effect. The ground is decorated with star lighting to make a scene of the vast universe. The birds flying back to the nests recall the memories of childhood. Under the big tree in the courtyard, kids are waiting for the parents. Space is designed to memorize the relationship between family, friends, and lovers. The design of the atrium takes the bird’s nest as the theme. The creative gallery in the shape of the birdcage adds to the cultural and artistic atmosphere of the design. People can meet, gather, and chat here. Three densely leafed camphor trees shelter the garden under the shade of the trees. The sun drops mottled light through the leaves, which are fine and bright, making people feel the warmth of a home. Due to the rainy climate in Guangzhou, the designer uses exquisite corridors in the garden to connect and divide the space to create a warm homecoming experience. Unload the tiredness on the way home, play the water and enjoy your own solitary space to experience unexpected warmth of life. The swimming pool not only satisfies the leisure needs but also promotes the interaction and communication of the neighborhoods in the entire residential area. Surrounded by plants, people can enjoy a holiday time here, staying away from the city, relaxing a tired spirit, and rebuilding the relationship between neighbors. If the sports club reflects the designers’ care for the health of the users, the small scene in the front yard reflects their spiritual care. The host can take a nap here to release the pressure of work. The house beside the big tree recorded the time when the children chased each other for joy and started an adventure in the forest. Everyone was dreaming of a small secret space in the childhoods—such as a small tree house hidden among verdant trees. The designer noticed the growth needs of urban children, creates a mysterious tree house paradise, integrates educational and adventure activities into the design, and creates a diverse parent-child interaction space. We hope the project can create a space where people can unload their tiredness in the indifferent and alienated urban environment, and re-examine life and feel the temperature of it. 08 - 2020. 04 06
