Chengdu Zhonghai · Huanyun House

COHL Huanyunju in Chengdu is conceived as a space charged with old Chengdu courtyard culture, closely matching the new Chenghua cultural-creative positioning of the district. The designers fuse contemporary lifestyle with traditional living to create a hotel-like courtyard atmosphere, weaving in the alley and courtyard culture of the Bashu region so that residents experience a rich cultural layer in everyday life. The central street park is a roughly 10,000-square-metre urban ecological green into which the design introduces a colourful butterfly theme, turning the park into a fashionable, lively gathering of leisure and entertainment where residents can step out of the noise and walk in nature. For the residential owners, every household achieves a genuine luxury configuration: entering the park before entering the home produces a unique scenographic experience, while roughly 75 percent of the park's green mass and program supplements the public garden, making life feel more real for neighbours and delivering a true home inside a park. The two entry lobbies are differentiated: the west main lobby emphasises hotel-like homecoming and drop-off, while the east entry gate builds a layered arrival through a lingering court. A water-rhyme lan and art space is delivered as a leisure destination combining aesthetic experience, family relaxation and social interaction, its interior decorated with jewellery-design textures that give off a refined aesthetic light. The vertical courtyard is a quiet room for reception and rest, intended to build a high-end, calm atmosphere while connecting the demonstration zone to the larger residential area; the sunken plaza follows Le Corbusier's inspiration and, through the formal aesthetics of strung jewellery, constructs a seventh-sense landscape, its rhythmic steps and dancing spiral corridor choreographed like butterflies inside a music box.
