South coast of spring breeze

Zhongnan Spring Breeze South Bank in Guiyang is a landscape intervention that seeks to return the site to its historical condition and strengthen the spirit of place as a container for local community relations. Conceived as an island, the project aims to shape the basic unit of a mountain-water city island chain. The result is a multi-level three-dimensional sky garden with a 22-meter vertical difference from city road boundary to roof garden, interspersed with commercial ancillary spaces, pure forest, waterfalls and theater. At the site boundary, terraces stitch back the severance caused by the urban road, reducing elevation while recalling Guizhou's ancient agricultural terraces. Winding sky walkways connect the city plaza with the building's semi-outdoor spaces, functioning as urban sculpture with narrative content. The building retains the site's geological character, honestly showing construction process and reason for being. Rough native rocks retained from excavation form the garden and plaza boundary, etching time into the place. A theater is central to community relationship building, with strong stage consciousness that catalyzes social formation. The roof garden's wild setting creates an independent, quiet space for dialogue with nature, its sunset paired with the ground floor's sunrise as a complete daily time trace. The approximately 170,000-square-meter project was designed and completed in 2019.
