Nantong international vanke haimen peninsula

Vanke Haimen Peninsula International sits at the mouth of the Yangtze, where Haimen faces the Yellow Sea to the east and the river to the south, opposite Shanghai, an urbanism shaped by the culture of river and sea. A&N Shangyuan Landscape led the design across 27,000 square meters, with architecture by Zhu Xiaoli, landscape by Ma Zhongbo and Liu Lei, and interior design by Shanghai Mudi Design Studio. The arrival is composed as a quiet-luxury sequence: a rain-proof drop-off, layered water features and progressively unfolding views break spatial boundaries and set a resort-like mood, echoing Vanke's ambition to make the whole community feel like a high-end resort hotel. Taking the bespoke service culture of the Bulgari hotel as a spiritual reference, the project explores contemporary upscale living through contemporary aesthetics, social vitality and dignified ritual. Rather than a traditional axial symmetry, the landscape uses free, flowing garden paths, punctuated by a resort pool, a community living room and a layered arrival sequence that slow people down like a pause in a great drama. The outdoor pool, inspired by river and sea tides, sits on a raised terrace and becomes the eye of the garden; it is divided into a children's shallow area and an adult deep area, ringed by resort loungers and moving water that reflect sky and building like a Bali villa. The height difference between the terrace pool and the sunken courtyard produces a dramatic cascading water wall, so that runners on the gym treadmill see falling water through floor-to-ceiling glass. Private dining, a gym and the sunken courtyard are stitched into a One Club, One Life service system under the 25-hours-plus concept. The dwelling typology treats the home as a top-tier social venue while the outside, including the fire-access court, is converted into island-style social space, with buildings naturally spaced and outdoor seating forming independent natural gardens. Set at the intersection of Beihai and Jianghai Roads in Nantong, the project is framed as a solid urban monument that carries the spirit of its era, a modern residential master plan that merges nature, city and social life.
