Jindi Huazhu

This project is located in Yinzhou District, Ningbo, where the design walks along the cultural thread of the prehistoric Hemudu culture to derive a contemporary model of urban living. Water elements are used extensively throughout the space, expressed through modern artistic language that reflects the river culture of waterside settlement and the human scale of neighborhood life. Upholding the principles of simplicity, grandeur, and natural vitality, the design adds diverse artistic elements to create an exclusive, progressive landscape experience. The overall layout is orderly and open, with a landscape system of one heart, two axes, and four nodes that diversifies the space. The one heart is the central clear-water waterscape formed by the intersection of the north and south axes, built around feature water features and leisure areas. The two axes are the central landscape axes running through the whole plot, including the front plaza, sun lawn, riverside themed leisure belt, and neighborhood exchange area, fusing community landscape with architecture. The facade matches contemporary aesthetics, emphasizing clean, upright lines and layered space, while multi-season, multi-color planting creates a refined three-dimensional picture for residents. At the central axis, a mirror-like pool holds a white sculpture at its heart, enclosed by greenery that strengthens the waterscape's core character; sunlight glints on the water, and the sunken leisure area creates more spatial dimensions and closer connection to nature. Walls and grilles shift with light and shadow, while two covered corridors link multiple landscapes for guidance and rest, and soft furnishings at the drop-off enhance belonging. The green lawn reflects spring light and invites residents into dialogue with nature, while the roof garden softens the modern facade and mitigates the heat-island effect. The children's area is themed around parent-child interaction, with slides, climbing nets, and exercise equipment that offer immersive play and adjacent seating for parents.
