Chongqing HongKong Land Yorkshire xiyue

——...... Located in the core area of Liangjiang New District, Yubei, Chongqing, the site is easily accessible with Jinzhou Avenue and Zongsan Road meeting nearby. Nestling against Zhaomu Mountain Forest Park, facing Chongguang Reservoir and surrounded by parks, it enjoys superior natural resources. Yorkvilla, Chongqing is a large-scale residential community developed by Hongkong Land, and “Xi Yue” is the last phase in Yorkvilla South. It is ideally located nearby the Metro Station (Chongguang), the shopping mall (The Ring) and Jinke’s commerce, enjoying mature commercial atmosphere. With the superior location and as the last phase, the project is highly expected. However, in the fantastic mountain city of Chongqing, you will always encounter various challenges: • The height difference and the complexity of the site; •The narrow and fragmented spaces divided by fire-fighting facilities. So how to transform these “disadvantages” into “features” has become the focus of our design. Finally, following the landform, we well arranged the functions and extended the space vertically to create a high-efficient space, 3D landscape and interesting experiences, which will allow the residents to lead a comfortable and pleasant life here. In the mountainous city of Chongqing, people are accustomed to the undulating skyline and the life nearby water. The site features the landform that is typical of Chongqing City, so we hope to take advantage of it and build a vertical landscape, which will serve as a microcosm of mountain life. The double-function space brings double surprises, which not only corresponds to the name of Chongqing City (“Chong” means “double” in Chinese), but also provides a colorful and high-efficient landscape space. The entrance to the commercial street reminds people of the bridges and caves of the mountain city; the welcoming water curtain allows people to feel the hotel-style nobility the moment they return home. Nearby the urban road which is higher than the site, the south entrance is designed with scattered steps and water features to create an orderly and ceremonial space. The landscape wall, the green shades, the cascade and the seats form a vivid and elegant scene of homecoming. ▲、，，Surrounded by flowing water and tree shades, you can slow down in the light and shadow and enjoy holiday life just at home The reception atrium is brimming with holiday atmosphere, the cascade is imprinted with stainless-steel flying butterflies, and the colorful mirrors create an exquisite atmosphere of homecoming. In the afternoon, bathed in warm sunshine and gentle breeze and surrounded by sculptures and flowers, you can drink tea and enjoy a happy holiday life with your friend. Though located in the core area, the central atrium is not easy to design because of its special shape and uneven terrain. During the design, we have tried different solutions since conventional spatial solutions cannot highlight the characteristics of the space. At last, we took advantage of the height difference and the zigzag bridge, creating a “transformative” gallery space to well solve the problem. In this way, the distinctive scenes of mountain life unfold beautifully in the central atrium........... Situated at a corner and nearby the gable wall of the commercial street, the gallery space for children is not easy for design, either. Referring to the vertical atrium, we made use of the commercial roof and created a second-floor space. In addition, the gable wall was transformed into a painting of starry sky, presenting a wonderland for kids together with UFO and slide. The surrounding shady space allows parents to take care of their children and relax themselves at the same time. The park-like green space spread to every corner of the homestead and is connected with the empty ground floor to form different theme gardens, which allow residents to communicate with each other, do exercises, walk their pets and enjoy a cozy life. Different from other developments that only focus on model houses, “Xi Yue” is not only designed with beautiful scenes but also features unique vertical landscape. The park-like environment is modern and elegant, allowing residents to lead a comfortable life and providing more possibilities for future community life.
