CGDG·Huamei Senior Care Center

Setting itself apart from similar market designs, the project pioneers a three-dimensional framework of "natural landscape gardens + multi-level stacking + weather-protected corridors," systematically resolving issues of site elevation differences and barrier-free access. Its key highlights span ten value dimensions: a multi-layered, garden-style therapeutic landscape for horticultural therapy; cultural anchors translating Jinan's Ten Scenic Wonders into local context; 800-meter all-weather photovoltaic-equipped weather corridors for round-the-clock care; specialized rehabilitation gardens tailored to specific conditions; a sensory healing system featuring over 200 scientifically arranged medicinal plants; anti-glare layered lighting; IoT-based energy efficiency systems; age-specific activity zones; senior-friendly equipment clusters; and barrier-free safety designs. In practice, addressing the unique needs of a high-care-ratio population—primarily semi-dependent and fully dependent seniors—the project breaks from traditional senior-friendly landscape norms. It cultivates diverse therapeutic plant communities to improve microclimates, regulate moods, and form a biological healing foundation. A lighting and color system combining hidden anti-glare diffused lighting with low-saturation warm and cool tones enhances spatial recognition and visual comfort. Weather corridors running throughout the site connect and separate "vibrant social circles" from "serene healing pods," precisely catering to different groups' psychological needs. Custom-developed rehabilitation equipment includes safety modules for balance training and muscle strength adjustment. Additionally, three-dimensional gardens and controlled slope design mitigate elevation challenges, while the dementia-specific sensory garden—with tactile feedback devices, olfactory stimulation arrays, and natural soundscapes—enables behavioral intervention, significantly boosting safety and participation in outdoor activities for high-care groups. In terms of green sustainability, the project builds a three-dimensional green model encompassing "natural healing power + energy regenerative capacity + material sustainability." The sensory therapeutic plant system acts as a natural biological healing engine, enabling ecological wellness. Weather corridors integrate efficient photovoltaic systems, achieving clean energy self-sufficiency and reducing carbon footprints. The combined use of local stone-like materials and natural stone minimizes ecological disruption during construction, ultimately creating a sustainable senior care landscape system where "ecological healing and low-carbon operations thrive in tandem."
