Harbour plaza changzhou

Haidi Changzhou by Sunac, landscaped by QIDI Design's fair-faced-concrete division and completed in 2020 on a 45,530-square-meter site at the intersection of Hai Road and Zhenxing Road in Dalian Development Zone, is a delivered residential community that the team treats as the ultimate goal of landscape practice: a high-quality built district rather than a temporary showroom. Dalian, known as the window of the Northeast and the pearl of the North, enjoys a mild climate and convenient access to the airport, railway station and commercial centers, and the development zone benefits from strong education and ecological resources. Most neighboring gardens are formal, evolving from classical to modern; the team sets out to build a modern plus refined-luxury resort-style bay lifestyle, the first of its kind on North China's coast, with memorable markers, diverse functions and warm community landscape for all ages. The entry uses a hotel-style arrival with a roundabout water feature, a main specimen tree viewed from all directions and small bubbling fountains, with pedestrian-vehicle separation and a barrier-free lobby; curved gridded walls glow softly at night. Beyond the entry, grouped planting and scattered seating invite neighborly conversation, facing an outdoor living room whose quiet water surface relaxes the space. A large sunken central lawn supports community events, and a blue-toned LOHAS zone offers simple, varied exercise. Two open, brightly colored children's playgrounds at the entries include stroller parking, temporary storage and adult seating. The western-style villa district emphasizes privacy and romance through axial layouts, paired walls and ground lights, while mixed planting softens the boundary between villa and tower roads. Night lighting uses flood, spot and contour methods with time-based control, and planting follows local species chosen for a stable, green skeleton with specimen trees at key nodes. Every detail, from hedge spaces and lone specimen trees to colored resin, railing and aluminum-panel tones, lamp shades, drain covers and logo sizes, was iterated against several alternatives to choose the most human-centered result.
