The project is located in the Shibalihe area of Zhengzhou, adjacent to the Shibalihe River to the east and the South-North Water Diversion Project to the south, serving as the southern entrance image of Zhengzhou. It is also close to Zhongzhou Avenue and Zhengxin Road, with Yutong Road running through the area, providing convenient intercity and intra-city transportation. The project integrates business, office, dining, medical, educational, and residential functions, planned to become a high-end ecological area at Zhengzhou's southern gateway. The design extracts tree branches, root systems, and leaf veins as design language, applying the spirit and symbolism of trees to the campus, pursuing the integration of modern landscape design with ecological landscape. Chatting beneath trees among leaf gaps, standing in a pavilion to watch waves in the park. The project has one vertical and three horizontal landscape central axes, with eight landscape spaces dotted throughout: wave garden viewing water, fir forest listening to tide, bamboo garden chess match, literati garden, green path system, healthy parent-child zone, longevity fitness zone, and private courtyard homes. A five-dimensional, participatory garden system focuses on the research and implementation of themed plant communities, constructing a well-layered landscape system and creating community life within a park. Fish leap into the literati garden, river waters seek seclusion along axial landscape and homecoming lanes. Still water with stepping stones and drifting mist, surrounded by shade from Chinese tallow trees on both sides, with maiden grass and hackberry trees swaying gracefully in the wind, casting dappled shadows. The ceremonial quality of the trees creates the dignity of returning home through a dense forest path—natural, pure, and distinctive in mood.
