This project takes space as the carrier, is rooted in the essence of Central Plains culture, upholds the concept of sustainable development, and builds a model of a contemporary community where people, nature and culture coexist harmoniously.

Spatial sequence: four-entry ritual order, axis narration

The design is dominated by the east-west main axis, constructing a progressive four-entry home-coming ritual order.

First entry: Home Coming Ritual Courtyard

The 6.6-meter-high and 52-meter-wide gate features a central axis symmetry. It is based on Bulgarian Agarwood Beige stone, with the "Rainbow Impression" luxury stone belt as the finishing touch. It abstractly translates the Zhengzhou imagery of "Jade Belt Crossing the City" and also implies gathering wealth and bringing good fortune. The hotel-style drop-off area realizes efficient separation of people and vehicles. The core mountain landscape installation "Thousands of Cliffs of clouds" integrates traditional mortise and tenon wisdom with parametric metal construction, interpreting the Oriental spatial philosophy of "clouds moving and mountains being still". The "Blue Pond and Golden Sand" luxury stone at the entrance and the array of tall Chinese pines symbolize the tenacious spirit of the Central Plains.

Second entry: Water Courtyard

The 26-meter column-free corridor stretches in the air, the array of scenery walls strengthens the axis, and the water scenery flows into the footpath, creating a sense of ritual as one walks.

Third entry: Sunken Courtyard

The covered corridor diverts the flow of people returning home, and the elevator leads to the underground composite health space (constant temperature swimming pool, gym, etc.). The innovative introduction of the central station concept optimizes vehicle drop-off. The underground space echoes the above-ground axis, with the ground landscape pavilion as the terminal scenery, continuing the spatial ritual.
