About The Entry

01 Project Location & Connectivity

Situated in the southeastern coastal region of Zhejiang Province, the project benefits from seamless transportation links to downtown Wenzhou, fostering regional industrial collaboration and facilitating population mobility.

02 Architectural Inspiration & Design Concept

The design draws inspiration from the breathtaking landscapes of Yandang Mountain, integrating the towering grandeur of its peaks and the fluid dynamism of its waters into the architectural language. This synthesis gives rise to an "urban lighthouse" as the foundational concept. Expansive glass curtain walls frame views of the central park, creating a visual corridor that blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior. This approach establishes a dialogue between the architecture and its surroundings, ensuring harmonious integration with the local environment.

03 Landmark Identity & Landscape Integration

To enhance the building’s landmark presence, the designers transformed a 10-meter-wide urban green belt into an enhanced buffer landscape along the demonstration area. This intervention strengthens the spatial relationship between the architecture and its context while responding to the surrounding green corridors.

04 Dynamic Urban Interface & Placemaking

Leveraging pre-developed park pathways, the design employs volumetric segmentation and composition techniques to craft a prominent street-corner presence, infusing the residential environment with vitality. The building’s façade unfolds bidirectionally from the corner site, maximizing engagement with the city and its inhabitants. Through narrative spatial planning, immersive experiential scenes, and interactive elements, the project establishes a distinctive "super IP street corner"—a dynamic intersection of architecture, urban life, and cultural identity.

05 Interior Layout and Cultural Integration

The interior organization applies traditional Chinese garden design principles to contemporary living spaces, drawing particular inspiration from the spatial composition of Liu Yuan (one of

China's four great classical gardens). The design reinterpretes classical spatial sequences of "garden-within-garden, courtyard-within-garden, and atrium-within-garden" to create modern aesthetic spaces that suggest expansive experiences within compact footprints.
