Yuzhou Langting Bay is a residential demonstration landscape of about 5,949.81 square meters by QIDI Design's Hangzhou office, with interiors by Liang Zhitian Design, designed from April to June 2019 and completed in 2020. The design traces the canal culture of Tongzhou, extracting historical elements and reinterpreting past splendor through a modern hand under the guiding image of riding a boat into beauty. Two problems organize the thinking: the display entrance lacked prominence and the urban frontage was messy, so the team had to consolidate the approach while keeping the city frontage unified; and the path from forecourt to sales gallery was narrow and winding, requiring a legible circulation, rich layering and clear hierarchy within a single elongated space. After repeated sketching, the team treats the long space as a canal, with the story beginning as a person stands on a boat and sails rise, producing scenes that shift as the boat moves, one cultural step and one living view at a time. The sequence unfolds in three chapters. The prelude, Setting Sail at Midnight, reads the layered spirit bastion as sails unfurled by wind, riding stacked, rippling water lines toward a starry-night dock. The overture, A Thousand Li of Masts, winds through bamboo groves where afternoon light dapples freely; cool-toned stone is edged with mirror-finish metal, and undulating white round-steel tubes drift like white water through the dense wood, welcoming travelers searching for a spiritual home, lighting up like a galaxy reflected on water after dark. The climax, The Grand Metropolis, arrives when the boat docks and visitors imagine the historic harbor crowded with ten thousand masts: beyond the bamboo they find Pick-Up, Light and Source, tracing the canal's headwaters and the origin of happiness. The team gathers water, boat, bridge and egret into a long canal scroll. A still pool holds Yuzhou's boat-like terrace walkway, reflecting everything against quiet walls as if time had stopped; the floating bridge, modeled on Bali Bridge, is treated with grade changes above still water; the water gate draws on the historic canal lock to make a dynamic water feature where overflow cascades in layered ripples; wind-activated egrets express the rhythm of light and shadow, feathers that move like clock hands through the changing world; a mini-cascade at the boat-bow terrace interacts with the wind sculpture to produce wave-following-wave effects; and the Hulu-tou dock is rebuilt as sunken booths where visitors sit at zero distance from the water, children play safely and underwater lights glow like a starry sky after dark. Every detail is calibrated, from sign lettering and wall thickness to stone joint widths, and the wind sculpture was refined through early design, wind-model testing and on-site installation, so that the egret feathers seem to move in the breeze. The project treats entering Langting Bay as riding a boat into scenery and stopping to enter the painting, melting heaven and earth into a single pool of water.
