Xinyang Jianye · Tianzhu

Jianye Tianzhu in Xinyang is a 7,100-square-metre demonstration landscape at the intersection of New Three Road and New Twenty-second Street in Yangshan New District, designed by Jianye's First Architecture Design Department with landscape by Hong Kong Belson, for client Jianye Group. The project explores the form and spirit of high-end urban dwelling, blending traditional experience with contemporary ethos to answer the pursuit of an ideal way of life. Surrounded by education, medical and commercial amenities and rich landscape resources, the site is ecologically pleasant and strongly positioned for high-end living. Tianzhu is Jianye's most premium product line, gathering the most advanced planning, architectural form and residential construction technologies of its era. Futurism, technology and refinement are read as the indicators of future form, conveying modern light-luxury aesthetics; the facade pursues pure large glazing, extreme metal lines and free, relaxed linear elements that soften the massing and sketch an artistic city skyline. The sales pavilion uses a pitched roof to form an enclosed Chinese courtyard, a place to watch sun on clear days and rain on blue ones, a Zen anchor that carries Xinyang's humanist culture. Across the whole scheme, the boundaries between architecture, landscape and interior are deliberately blurred in favour of a nature-close environment. Research showed that residents long for harmonious social bonds and communities of shared interest; the project therefore creates themed spaces where every encounter is a warm embrace, an energy station linking different groups, and a community that offers children play, elders leisure and young adults decompression. The architectural language is modern, stripped of complex traditional ornament, using refined, minimal elements to signal quality. Jianye, rooted in Henan for thirty years, has gone through five product generations and pursues a maker's spirit of aesthetic renewal to build products that understand Central-China residents best. The demonstration zone was completed in May 2022.
