GRAND MANSION

The project is situated in a burgeoning area of urban development, where the vibrant life of the new town meets the serene backdrop of mountains and streams. Creating a harmonious relationship amidst these contrasts respects and continues the dialogue between urban and natural environments, forming the foundation for this design initiative.
Located with urban roads to the west and a natural park to the east, the design leverages the unique features of the site. By intertwining courtyard spaces with transit nodes, it effectively resolves the site's elevation differences, creating distinct yet interconnected courtyards. The design intersperses gray space corridors and open landscape nodes throughout various functional areas, continuing the traditional alley culture of living streets. This setup facilitates a transition from urban dwelling to a more secluded, natural existence, scripting a new urban order on the natural landscape while preserving and extending the memory of nature.
The choice of building materials is particularly restrained. Light grey stone with natural textures, outlined by warm grey matte stainless steel, seeks to dispel the inherent heaviness of real estate constructions with a layered sense of lightness. The facade extensively uses deep joints in natural stone, and the interplay of stone and metal slants under natural light and shadows offers a more intricate and readable texture. As the light and viewing angles change, the architectural strength gradually settles, sparking vitality amid the daily urban life.
