GREENTOWN IN WUHAN · WILLOW EMERALD

The project is located in the core industrial area of Zhuankou, Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone.The concept of the project aims to create a natural and enjoyable forest series resort living community, combining the aesthetics of life with the innovative pattern of the Fourth-generation housing and the cultural heritage of the scholarly temperament, naturally forming, and interweaving into a modern life ink and wash of where there is the heart, there is the paradise.
Drawing inspiration from Fan Kuan's “Travelers Among Mountains and Streams” from the Northern Song Dynasty, the design features layered rocks and flowing water up close, pine forests and mountain streams in the middle distance, and jade trees and waterfalls in the distance. The design ingeniously utilizes the existing elevation differences to create a series of cascading waterfalls. It evokes the scene of “a stone bridge over flowing water in spring,” a vertical, folded landscape scroll waiting to be appreciated.
In the garden, there is a path, and a courtyard of exquisite trees comes into view. The steps are paved with granite, and specially selected shaped pines are planted on both sides. This not only creates a landscape but also conveys an artistic conception. The beauty of heaven and earth can be perceived in this small courtyard.
In order to present the mood of the natural landscape in the “Xishan Traveling Map”, the team went to Shandong, photographed and numbered each oil pine, imported it into the model， conducting a careful comparison of the trees with regard to their height, DBH, overall architecture.and specific location,and finally selected the seven most suitable for the site from the hundred oil pines, which most realistically restore the program of the “stone bridge and flowing water over the clouds and pines, and the gold and jade trees shine in the moonlight” painting.
The children's area integrates the Garden of Knowledge and the Butterfly Garden, weaving natural exploration, sensory experience, parent-child activities and social interaction into an organic whole, allowing children to learn, play, cooperate and relax as “little bees” in a safe, natural and fun environment.
