Step out to wander the Chu-Han Star City, return home to stroll at leisure in a tranquil courtyard—comfortable, natural, poetic mountain-water garden living. The Changsha Beichen Delta Aocheng project is located in Kaifu District, at the confluence of the Xiang River and the Liuyang River, facing the Xiang River to the west and the Liuyang River to the north. Covering 1,700 mu with a total building area of 5.37 million square meters, it aims to create a large-scale riverside urban complex that will become a benchmark project for Changsha and an important platform for the city to engage with the world. The design draws inspiration from the Star City, the name that this era has given to Changsha. Each star is an uncut diamond, and the project site lies at the confluence of the Liuyang River and Xiang River in Kaifu District. The designers extracted a minimalist design language from stars and the textures produced by converging waters, echoing the architectural design. Around garden, courtyard, wildness, and delight, the project creates four moods and twelve scenes, blending Western form with Eastern charm to build a quiet, leisurely, and high-quality livable community. The entrance guest-pool: ramps and steps slowly lay out a central entrance axis, opening a path through lush vegetation to welcome guests from all directions. Cascading water features shimmer, and earthen mounds with exposed rocks overlap before the entrance sign, opening a delightful chapter of garden-courtyard-wildness-delight. The central water feature, located in the heart of the site, inherits the mountain-water-islet-city character where upper and lower light blend into a vast expanse of blue. The clear pond holds the celestial river and starry islets, offering residents a place to stroll and enjoy the river's flowing waves.
