The Scene Plus research of 2020 by Bangjing Landscape is a product development programme for the stilted ground floors (jiakongceng) of residential communities, undertaken over five months of project review, research and concept work. Under the pandemic-era normalcy, healthy home life became the dominant demand, and the stilted floor as an extension of the home offered unusually rich potential. The team produced both a product promotion manual and a product design manual, taking resident research seriously because the space serves every age group, and deepening in-house expertise in ergonomics, soft-furnishing components and materials to ensure human-centred implementation. The result is six scenario modules. The children's module addresses achievement, activity, inquiry and sociability through four themes: Wisdom Classroom, Carefree Playground, Nature Playground and Parent-Child Park. The youth module responds to study, fitness, exploration and digital play with Study Hall, Youth Club, Youth Gym and Digital Rhythm Room. The middle-aged module, squeezed between family, career and self-development, offers Fitness Stress-release, Social Club, Charging Station and Home Party Room. The ageing-friendly module combines exercise equipment with sociability in Old-Friends Wellness, Zen Heart, National-Style Crafts and Healing & Wellness. The pan-clubhouse module caters to premium residents with Art Salon, Fine Lounge, Rainforest Garden and Cool Moment. Finally, the service module handles the necessary daily rituals that most directly affect quality of life, so that from the moment residents arrive home they feel cared for. The team's stance is think what residents think and build for them, iterating the stilted floor and introducing new spatial concepts while improving the basic service modules; the search for human-centred space is ongoing.
