Yun Yi Du Hui Garden

Vanke Yunyi Duhui Garden, a 3,895-square-meter commercial-street landscape in Nanjing's Jiangning District completed in 2019, is designed by LAURENT Landscape with contractor Jiangsu Bailu. The site sits beside the Dongshan, Baijiahu and Jiulonghu urban nodes, reachable from Metro Line 1 at Tianyin Avenue and via Shuanglong Avenue and Zhushan Road. The central design question is how to give a noisy, traffic-bound block both commercial punch and refined public value. Rather than choosing between a fully open community park and a sealed sales compound, the designers interlock the two: indoor and outdoor spaces visually mesh, and the program serves both prospective buyers and neighboring residents. The project advances a Soft-Life concept built around social amenities, oxygen-rich greenery, free circulation enabled by metro and highway, and smart service, and constructs a C-plus infinite community that balances marketing, corporate image and social benefit. An ivy-leaf logo is repeated across the entrance, where a mirror pool inlaid with metal lines and light strips anchors the brand; warm-toned square paving continues the theme through the site. The children's area, themed Forest Whisper and Bird Paradise, is divided into age-banded play equipment. Multiple small-scale indoor and outdoor conversation rooms are layered into the public sequence so that exchange and sharing become part of daily life. Planting relies on bright-leaved shrubs and flowering perennials, offering visitors a quiet, scented refuge. The signature entrance water sculpture reinterprets the leaf logo through stacked glass pieces; the team developed multiple mock-ups to study the glass-laying craft, and at night warm in-ground lamps refract through the glass leaves, lending the water play a cool, luminous quality. Abundant benches and landscape walls combined with planters answer the shortage of enclosed outdoor seating, lighting and gathering rooms typical of older urban fabric.
