Text description provided by the architects
Zhonghai Jiuxi Yuan on Shenzhou Peninsula in Wanning, Hainan, is a resort residential landscape designed by ACA Meking Landscape, Department One, for client Zhonghai Renxin (Wanning) Real Estate, with interior design by Li Yizhong. The peninsula offers ten square kilometers of native island terrain between mountains and sea, with two seas and four bays, and the site faces the ocean with mountains behind it. The design concept is Home and Resort: the team believes true resort living is a lifestyle in harmony with nature, and sought not merely to create space but to create a way of dwelling that feels like an ongoing vacation. The architectural highlight is the multiple-courtyard villa typology, delivered fully furnished with architecture, interior, and landscape integrated. Each courtyard functions as both an extension of the interior program and a self-contained garden, so residents can empty their minds, enjoy the natural scenery, and feel a holiday ease in the sea breeze. The main entry conveys a resort atmosphere while blending with the surrounding coastal park: stepping inward, one expects seclusion among coconut groves; stepping outward, framed views draw the eye to the sea. The entry continues the architecture's New Asian style, ascending steps with two bare walls that act as paper against which coconut shadows paint a South China Sea scene. Inside the community, a tropical allée welcomes residents, and looking back, the main gate frames a view of the open, gentle sea. Every villa is oriented to capture panoramic sea views, and the courtyards support morning beach walks, family barbecues, pool parties, afternoon tea, and parent-child beach activities. The design begins from function and returns to nature, aiming to deliver not just a dwelling in harmony with the environment but an elegant, comfortable lifestyle of blue water, coconut shadows, white sand, and secluded island joy.
