XINDA·GALAXY NINE ODES, nestled along the shores of Weihe Lake, is deeply rooted in historical heritage. It interprets the essence of traditional mansion gardens through modern design language, committed to returning to the elegant Oriental courtyard lifestyle. The project reconstructs the charm of Han Dynasty elegance, drawing inspiration from the scenes of life during that era. It seamlessly integrates traditional grace with contemporary living, and through the creation of landscapes with poetic charm, the refinement of spatial layers, and the crafting of cultural allure, it unfolds exquisite living and recreational scenarios within the scenery, forging a garden experience of "Oriental Nine Vistas" where each step reveals a different view. Its highlight, "Han Palace Elegant Garden," serves as a landscape carrier that folds time and space. Boasting a grand central landscape area of approximately 5,000 square meters, it not only echoes the profound cultural context of Gaohuangzhai but also incorporates the cultural elements of Qin bricks and Han tiles with a thousand-year history. Through the meticulously crafted "Five Gardens and Nine Vistas," it presents a scenery where mountains and waters mirror each other, surrounded by shaded groves. During the design process, the project faced the issue of relatively monotonous plant spaces in the Central Plains region. This was resolved through the ingenious combination of arbors and shrubs, successfully creating rich and textured plant spaces. Additionally, it addressed challenges such as limited reserved landscape soil covering and planting thickness resulting from the completed pouring of some floor slabs, as well as construction difficulties encountered when utilizing spatial elevation changes to create landscapes. In terms of greenery and sustainability, the project prioritizes the use of native plants from the Central Plains. These plants possess strong stress resistance and ecological adaptability, which helps reduce ecological risks. Meanwhile, it constructs plant communities to enhance the stability and biodiversity of the ecosystem. Furthermore, it emphasizes reducing material waste and improving material utilization efficiency, practicing the concept of green sustainability.
