Island on the forest • Explore • Return We want to give people struggling in this city an experience of immersing in nature. Create the nature of nature with modern minimalism. On the way home, you can walk slower, linger in the bridge, stream, rain, forest, and a little bit of starlight. You can also stop and enjoy the separate space between you and nature in silence. This time, we don't want to give you more identity or value through design, we expect it to bring you a moment of peace. ——The lead designer, 2020. Autumn ” "Listening to the sound of running water in the forest, breathing at the same frequency as the wind, tilting his head and smiling with the flowers, returning to the most vast land, calm in the vastness. " This kind of height difference is our initial design inspiration. To adapt to the terrain difference, we finally realized the idea of "walking in the forest color pool" with the elements of cascading waterscape, suspended plank road and so on......... Gemdale Seattle Lifestyle is located in Yuhuatai District, Nanjing, Jiangsu. The construction was completed in May 2020. GUIXIN • BRIDGE The water drop is 1. 5m away from the building, which is the commanding height of the entire scene. It conforms to the 1. 1m height difference of the terrain and we choose to create a viewing platform in the middle to enrich the sensory experience of the entire site.... In order to maximize the transparency and cleanness of the entire scene, we insist on using hyperboloid glass, and add warm-color lights with smooth curves to echo the underwater star lights... The whole scene is like walking in a fairy tale world with flying fireflies. XUN • RIVER The black stainless steel baffle serves as the boundary between the floating island and the falling water, visually concealing the artificial traces of the stream and the floating island, which is a display of the "natural scene" created by modern design techniques. HUA • RAIN As we climb up the stairs, we hope that the exhaustion in everyone's heart can be washed away by the thin curtain of water. The looming curved railing behind the curtain stretches out to both sides, like spreading our arms to embrace the person who is returning home. MIYING • FOREST We seek to restore nature's healing to humans in our design, because no matter what era we live in, humans always want happiness. The designer uses modern techniques to create natural scenery to the greatest extent, and offers a way back to nature for those who return home. Perhaps it is also the way back to nature in this era. 1—2020. 5 Project name: Gemdale Nanjing Seattle Lifestyle Project address: The junction of Daishan East Road and Daishan North Road, Yuhuatai District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Project scale: 5200m² Design/Completion: 2020. 1—2020. 5 Developer: Nanjing Gemdale Landscape: Landscape Design-Antao (Hangzhou) Landscape Eighth Division Design Second Group; Construction Design-Antao (Hangzhou) Landscape Eighth Division Construction Drawing First group
