Nestled at the foot of Mount Emei, the Qinglu Project is surrounded by picturesque landscapes, adjacent to the serene Emei Lake. It offers breathtaking views of the majestic Mount Emei and the shimmering waters, allowing residents to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature. Drawing inspiration from the region’s unique natural and cultural heritage, the project meticulously crafts a modern Chinese public courtyard space, creating a tranquil and poetic living environment that enriches daily life with depth and meaning.



Guided by the design philosophy of “bringing nature into living spaces and creating scenery within courtyards,” the project seamlessly integrates natural landscapes with architectural artistry. It emphasizes spatial fluidity and interaction, fostering a harmonious coexistence between people and nature. The public courtyard adopts a modern Chinese aesthetic—elegant and understated—blending traditional Eastern charm with contemporary comfort and functionality. This design delivers both a sense of ceremony and privacy, reflecting a commitment to superior quality and human-centered care.



The project features three meticulously crafted sample courtyards, each showcasing a unique lifestyle and design aesthetic inspired by Balinese, Japanese, and American garden styles. The Balinese courtyard evokes a resort-like ambiance with lush tropical plants, flowing water features, and natural stone elements, offering a retreat of relaxation. The Japanese courtyard emphasizes minimalism and mindfulness, incorporating karesansui (dry landscape), moss, and gravel to embody the essence of Zen philosophy. The American courtyard is designed for outdoor leisure, with expansive lawns, wooden decks, and floral landscapes, providing a spacious and casual living environment. Each courtyard style reflects its distinctive character, catering to diverse tastes and offering a refined garden experience.



With its innovative design, exceptional craftsmanship, and thoughtful curation, the Qinglu Project transcends conventional courtyard concepts. It harmonizes natural beauty with diverse styles, creating an exquisite and immersive garden living experience. As a benchmark for modern Chinese courtyard design, it stands as a model of elegance and sophistication in the region.
