The JEWEL CASTLE project, nestled in the storied city of Chengdu, draws inspiration from "The Great Gatsby," capturing the retro, modern, and bustling aesthetics of the 1920s Jazz Age.

The designers translate the Art Deco splendor into a contemporary, luxurious form and palette, incorporate the expansive yet intimate spatial dimensions and fragmented social functions inspired by the elegant social scenes in the movie, they have crafted a project that embodies a never-ending golden era.



Act I: The Elegant Welcome Courtyard

The main entrance showcases a replica of Gatsby's central water island plaza and manor-like entrance, with a 20m-long space from the entrance to the municipal road, incorporating symmetrical walls and a logo-adorned green island to create a prestigious ceremonial entrance avenue, fostering an initial impression of a magnificent homecoming and unveiling the prologue of a spectacular return.

Act II: The Golden Water Plaza

The overall design of the Gold-Plated Water Pavilion, spanning 1,150 ㎡, showcases a surrounding central water courtyard with tiered water terraces, lavish stone walls, floral beds, and noble trees. The facade of the sky vaulted portico, crafted from luxurious Van Gogh Brown stones, serves as a magnificent backdrop, integrating sunken party booths, forest tea seats, and viewing bars amidst nature.

Act III: The Serene Water Garden Path

A tranquil route where luxury stone walls and water terraces intertwine with lush foliage, inviting nature's elegance into every step of the journey home.

Act IV: The Party Booths

Anchored in a blend of subtle Wyndham Gray imitation stone and Melange-hued furnishings, these booths exude a sophisticated ambiance, illuminated by crystal and metal fixtures, continuing the aristocratic tradition of refined gatherings.

Act V: The Sky Vaulted Portico

Surrounded by three sides of water, this sunken haven features custom lightboxes, luxury stone, and Melange accents, recreating Gatsby's mansion's sky vaulted portico for an immersive, elegant social space, reviving the aristocratic lifestyle of refined and graceful homecomings.

Act VI: The Serene Bar

Nestled beside gently rippling waters, the bar embodies a sweet, vintage charm, fostering a serene atmosphere where the soul can unwind amidst nature's embrace.
