Taste the quiet life of Zen, observe the elegant garden realm, and use modern landscape design techniques to interpret Eastern ritual aesthetics, reproducing a poetic Zen dwelling. Zhongshan Longguang Jiuyu Mountain is located in the Shenwan Avenue South industrial area of Zhongshan, Guangdong. Zhongshan is a prefecture-level city in Guangdong, a national historical and cultural city, one of the central cities of the Pearl River Delta, and an important node city in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The site has a superior geographical location, bordering Jiangmen to the west and facing Zhuhai across the river to the south, with excellent future development potential. The project aims to inject richer spiritual depth into Eastern residential culture, creating a high-quality residential community that meets contemporary aesthetic needs. It continues the building's modern, simple, elegant, and grand design style while integrating Eastern spirit, reinterpreting the tranquility and natural aesthetics of freehand Eastern expression. Eastern elegance and Zen philosophy are expressed through modern techniques—bright and simple while preserving the refined charm of Eastern Zen, understated yet elegant, minimal yet luxurious. Using modern winding and curved forms and drawing on the spatial layout of traditional gardens, courtyard spaces unfold in rich variation. Following traditional ritual order, the design emphasizes the dignified ceremony of the central-axis landscape. Comprehensively considering site conditions, it uses contrasts between large and small spaces to enrich the experience and adapts to local conditions, ultimately presenting nine mountain-water realms—drifting clouds, flowing water, blooming flowers, full moon, spring glory, autumn fruit, heart's delight, pleasing sight, and returning to oneness—that unfold in progressive layers, making visitors feel as if they are walking through a painting.
