Oct Zhongshan Swan Castle

OCT Swan Castle in Zhongshan is the top-tier Bao series residential product of China Overseas, built on the principle of building a city in a garden and a garden in the city. The project sits within the Zhongshan Overseas Chinese Town Happy Coast development, a nearly 300,000-square-meter flagship cultural-tourism complex on both banks of a river, integrating commercial center, cultural tourism, theme entertainment, ecology park, premium residences and education. GND Landscape applied a sustainability-based, holistic approach that fuses the natural ground with the architecture, translating the Shishanqi natural habitat into layered green terraces with water and forest interwoven to create a nature-park living platform. The spatial plan follows one axis, three spines, three gardens and fifteen zones, with intersecting axes establishing sequence and rhythm. The ceremonial park organizes arrival, viewing, social, leisure and sports functions around the central axis, using geometric proportion in the Chinese aesthetic to weave landscape paths, feature water, central lawn and sunken living room. The city living room uses topographic variation around a water feature to combine understory leisure, outdoor reception and sunlit lawn, with an elevated outdoor area that admits more light while preserving privacy. The infinity pool is wrapped by planting, extended lawn and art walls that minimize visual intrusion and ensure child safety. The natural park adopts a hidden-in-nature strategy, integrating fitness, forest play and nature education. An outdoor gallery, tree-grid plaza, natural hills, adventure playground, community amphitheater and sunken living room extend the range of spatial experiences, encouraging residents to interact with the outdoors.
