Zhonghai Guanyunfu is located on the Nanzhou plot of Haizhu's Innovation Bay in Guangzhou, developed by Zhonghai Real Estate's Guangzhou company, with landscape architecture by Shenzhen Pairan Landscape Design and interiors by ENJOYDESIGN Yanyutang. The project takes the idea of "renewing Guangzhou" and, through four scenes - an urban living room, a shaded leisure space, the main entrance and a classical shop window - tells a story of "old neighbours, new tales" in an old town where weathered historic blocks meet a modern luxury residence. At the heart of the site, the Ark Living Room stands at a street junction as a sculptural volume, its spiritual pylon in warm off-white and traditional copper-gold with an illuminated gold logo guiding residents home. A calm reflecting pool mirrors the imagined community life in the shop window, while the paved plaza lifts like a trading junk under sail on the Pearl River, with a feature tree as its mast and bubbling jets as spray, and placed stones resting beneath rustling trees. Steps lead up past a cascade that drowns out the city noise, and at night tree, stone and wall shimmer in the water like an ink painting. At the community entrance, a spherical sculpture by the Pairan soft-furnishing studio reinterprets the Lingnan tradition of intricate carved puzzle balls, and a water curtain plus a lush vertical green wall add a hazy, welcoming threshold. The classical shop window set into the modern entrance borrows from Yuyin Shanfang, one of the four great Lingnan gardens, compressing the refinement of that tradition into a small frame. In the northeast corner, a wooden deck under the trees pairs soft tallow branches and warm light with a glass-block wall inspired by Manchurian windows, while the second-floor model-home roof garden uses fine ground cover beneath light-bodied trees for a calm, natural rest. The project is a dense urban quarter and a comfortable urban corner at once, where old and new coexist organically.
