Xiangyue Mansion

Xincheng Xiangyue Mansion is located on Beijiang Avenue in the High-tech Zone of Zhaoqing, Guangdong, and is Xincheng Holdings' debut project in Zhaoqing. Zhaoqing was historically known as Duanzhou and is famous for Duan inkstones. The Song Dynasty poet Zhang Jiucheng wrote: The ancient inkstone of Duan Stream is a wonder under heaven, its purple flowers spurting rainbows at midnight. The project extracts the unique thousand-year-old patterns from Zhaoqing's national intangible cultural heritage treasure, the Duan inkstone, using modern and minimalist design elements to create a landscape space that ripples freely, rises and falls with ink resonance, carries local cultural depth, and unfolds in progressive layers. The journey to seek the inkstone lets a thousand years of cultural heritage flow gently through the landscape, opening South China's first Duan inkstone-themed aesthetic residence. The Duan inkstone of Zhaoqing, together with Huzhou brushes, Xuan paper, and Huizhou ink, is known as one of the Four Treasures of the Study. An inkstone is a grinding instrument used to rub ink and moisten it; as one of the essential writing implements of Chinese traditional literati, an inkstone carries the story of a person's lifetime of writing. The display area uses the legend of the inkstone stone—the journey to seek the inkstone—as the landscape design concept and guiding thread, interpreting the landscape through six experiential spaces: seeing mountains, encountering streams, seeking secrets, finding stone, appreciating the garden, and savoring the inkstone. The landscape links architecture and interior, forming a well-proportioned sequence from lively to quiet, step by step, letting residents step from the noisy city into a spiritual home, creating a space with cultural depth. The entrance is simple and grand; the entrance logo landscape wall, like bubbling spring water from a stream, guides clients inward.
