Tianjin riverside cullinan

Completed in 2021 on an 8,710-square-metre site in the northwest of Wuqing Business District, Tianjin, the Chun Jiang Tian Xi display landscape was designed by Shanghai Weimar Landscape's Hangzhou studio for clients Longfor, Jinke and Yongxin. Wuqing, on the corridor between Beijing and Tianjin, is read by the designers as a city of fresh, lyrical natural scenery, and the project is conceived as a 'woven light and water realm' in which light and water become the protagonists of time and space. Four poetic scenes are composed along the visit sequence. The Ming Huan Light Mirror at the entrance extends vertically through a deep front court, its rectangular reflecting pools and a 'flying wing' water sculpture set against a simple, refined architectural language that establishes the ritual of arrival. The Flowing Flower Terrace uses the site's grade change to build a generous, refined cascade, its soft curves bringing stillness and motion, hardness and softness, artifice and nature into a single conversation. The Reflecting Shadow Court deepens the sequence with a water feature and a canopy as the focal point of the display space, inviting visitors to sit and rest. Finally, the Wandering Cloud Realm opens into a natural garden where paths wind through trees, deer appear as sculptural motifs, and sunlight, lawn and shade combine with reading, chatting and resting. Using contemporary, minimal design language together with large expanses of light-transmitting glass, the project aims to be a 'water-light mirror art museum', a secret-garden journey in which residents can live close to nature without leaving the city.
