Wuhan vanke HuaShengBai new town

Vanke Huasheng Boye New City in Hannan, Wuhan, with a 16,000-square-meter first-phase landscape by A&N Shangyuan Landscape and interior design by Shenzhen Yifang, is positioned as Vanke's first gateway to Hannan and aims to build a vibrant rail city through a rail-plus-property-plus-activity-center lifestyle. The site sits beside the Hannan exit of the Han-Hong Expressway and the metro, at the moment when Greater Wuhan pushes south. The team takes the story line of a folded city, an unfolded future and, reading the site's orientation and building density, unfolds an imaginative journey under the sky through three themed spaces. The urban portal interprets flowing-cloud paths through graceful curves, with varied tree heights, courtyard spaces, elevated corridors and a sky tree that lifts visitors above the square and sports park. The sky-island scenario street introduces sequenced sculptural elements among lush trees and multiple interactive, leisure and play devices, producing a relaxed commercial atmosphere. The sky-home children's zone borrows the post-Memphis language of the Italian Memphis Group, with bold, naive, humorous color, and layers the play experience in four dimensions: all-age basic play functions, Memphis-inspired color, role-play scenarios, and a vertical composite that links levels top to bottom. At the third level, children climb the sky tree to touch the sky; at the second, a theater of climbing nets and bouncy nets opens onto spectator steps; at the first, a simulated city offers interactive bikes, a water play pool, an alpaca slide and a boxing-ring trampoline, where children can become gas-station attendants or barbers. Laughter, water sounds and moments of rest take over. The broader project covers 190,000 square meters as a modern commercial-street-type real-scene demonstration zone.
