The base is located in Laoling City, Dezhou, the birthplace of the Longshan Culture. This are boasts abundant historical and cultural resources such as the Site of Ancient Wuli Tomb, Site of Ancient Weiwang City, the Dacheng Hall of the Ming Dynasty Confucian Temple, and the Former Residence of Bixia Yuanjun. The project is situated merely 1.4 km from the Laoling Municipal People's Government, occupying a prime core location with comprehensive living amenities in the vicinity.
Guided by the design philosophy of "a secluded mansion hidden within the urban bustle," the project elevates living quality through product innovation and pioneers metropolitan lifestyles. First, the design maximizes setback spaces by planting towering trees, creating a densely forested enclosure that isolates the complex from the surrounding streets. The jungle oxygen bar brings outdoor scenery indoors. Second, a nearly 100-meter landscape axis is designed, extending from the forecourt at the western entrance through the hotel-style drop-off zone, residential lobby, central landscape, to the sunken clubhouse. Third, adhering to traditional Chinese garden design principles, a 12,000m2 super-sized central landscape enclosed by architectures is crafted. This inward-focused self-consistent spatial configuration creates an isolation from the urban hustle and bustle while ensuring equitable distribution of internal resources. Finally, a sunken courtyard is designed at the community's central landscape, creating three-dimensional spatial layering from ground level to underground. This creates multifunctional spaces that facilitates neighborly interactions during leisure time.
The facade design draws inspiration from the "paper-thin delicacy and lacquer-like sheen" characteristics of Dezhou black pottery, using matte and glossy materials to emulate the gentle luster of black pottery. The facade features clean and flowing lines, integrating traditional craft aesthetics with contemporary building envelopes, preserving regional cultural heritage while conveying a sense of fashion. With horizontal lines accentuating the lateral expanse, and a light-toned facade evoking a sense of simplicity and purity, the design redefines the urban interface aesthetic through material textures and light-shadow interplay.
