SUNAC jiang shan chen yuan

Sunac Jiangshan Chenyuan in Xi'an is a demonstration-zone landscape by Guangzhou Guanji Landscape, led by chief designer Wang Gengfeng, for Sunac North China's Xi'an company. The practice brings together landscape planning, project consulting and operations, and the lead designer is known for fusing contemporary lifestyle aspirations with local cultural roots. The design matches the building's modern-Chinese architectural language, emphasising a cultural tone, restrained detail and a calm, fluent composition to produce a model of Chinese lifestyle aesthetics. The entrance uses a refined, minimalist gatehouse and ink-wash material colours to establish ritual and set the atmospheric baseline; wall details and cleverly placed window openings turn the winding corridor into a walkable, viewable sequence. Around the corridor lies the Rong water court, its zigzag pavilions, naturally shaped green islands, Zen pines and stone arrangements composing a painted scene reflected in the water. Walking the corridor toward the sales office, visitors feel themselves step into the painting. The rear Tingfeng Court and the Yanshu Garden where the show flats sit continue the Zen natural language, using planting as the main event; winding paths reveal four seasons of change. The garden is organised as a sequence of named spaces. The Tiaoyin Gate frames glimpses of the courtyard beyond as if across a distant world, set against existing old trees. The Yanzhishan path leads through a narrow tree-lined approach with scattered stones that stage the ritual of returning home, crossing a flying water bridge to the front reception hall. The Qisong Court takes seven pines from classical painting as its defining element, since pine is the king of trees and an enduring motif. The Banxue Hall surrounds an elegant phantom pavilion with a tree-and-stone wall that compresses mountain peaks into miniature, and beneath a maple grove lies a quiet Zen court. The Chunshen Yanshu Garden is a walled courtyard whose bridges reach every house, its green trees and placed stones inviting residents to sit and read in poetic domestic ease.
