Zhengzhou Zhonghai Lake Family Leisurely Garden

COLI Hubin Shijia Youranyuan in Huiji District, Zhengzhou, sits two hundred meters from Yuehu Park. The landscape takes the lake and the moon as its inspiration, aiming to create a modern, light-luxury, refined artistic dwelling on the bay. The overall language is modern, tied to the building's own colors and materials, with refined details that bind architecture and landscape, through minimal, pure facades that set a modern, elegant, natural community tone. The entrance invites the moon: a feature wall and hedge form the street-facing interface, with an open city edge, broad views and linear tension that give spatial breadth and air. The main-axis feature wall takes the form of the moon, symbolizing inviting the moon, and water details produce the feeling of drawing aside a curtain to reveal it. Before the corridor, the moon is enjoyed and opposed under bridges: a three-dimensional multi-functional living room blends rest, negotiation and sport, promoting free exchange and blurring the boundaries of time and space. A double-layer canopy supports activity and rest; on the upper level children can look out, while the lower level offers seating, tea and books. On the moon-bridge link, children catch the moon: a half-moon bridge inspired by the traditional monkey-fishing-for-the-moon story uses both levels for crawl holes, climbing nets and slides, creating an educational, interactive and adventurous play space with a forest character, premium timber, colorful tones and playful monkeys, and parent benches for supervision. Chasing light and shadow, exploring the moon and flowers: bubbling springs and fresh buds heal urban anxiety, and the main axis sits among trees to produce a natural, rustic landscape. Planting is zoned by season: the west group emphasizes foliage and fruit health-giving species, the east group emphasizes flowering, and a layered mix ofcontraction and release produces seasonal arrival experiences.
