New Hope · Elite Mansion

GND Jiedi Landscape Design

Project description

New Hope · Elite Mansion is located in the core zone of Southern Chengdu, with complete facilities in the financial city and a thousand mu of ecological resources. Together with GND Landscape, New Hope Real Estate constructed a high-end mansion residence in Chengdu—New Hope · Elite Mansion, hoping to restore the dignified residing experience of the 5,000-year-old history. As an epoch-making work, it ushers in an entirely new lifestyle for the financial city. When constructing the landscape for New Hope · Elite Mansion, GND Landscape took reference from the spatial landscape of traditional Chinese gardens and extracted and integrated the local region’s spatial layout to create a distinctive new Chinese-style garden view space. The central axis serves as a clue that connects the entire site. Strolling leisurely on this site, you can find a scroll of the heavenly world unfold slowly in front of you. Meanwhile, the mansion perfect combines Chengdu’s culture and the site’s unique personality. Modeling on ten scenic spots of Chengdu, the designer created ten scenes for the Elite Mansion, including the Riverbank Welcomes Guests, Pavilion amid Winding Streams, Water-surrounded Garden, Rain Sound Pavilion, Bamboo Courtyard, Mountain View Garden, Fish Watching Platform, Baicao Pavilion, Returning Pavilion, and Hello, New World. As one walks in, elegant scenery and a poetic image unfold slowly, presenting a customized mansion etiquette space exclusive to Chengdu. An intense Chinese-style flavor extends to the Guest Welcoming Lobby along with bubbling water, presenting a dignified sense of ceremony to residents. The scenery at the entrance is arranged symmetrically along the central axis. On both sides are two lines of decorative pillars that stand on the ascending platform and water scene, perfectly interpreting the auspicious wish for having a meteoritic rise and treasures that fill the family. The artistic water curtain walls around the sunken courtyard are connected with the courtyard and the upper spatial scene. A flock of cranes dances gracefully and flexibly, portraying a natural scroll along with the garden and the land that extends forward. The virtual and real scenery are perfectly combined and change with each step, attempting to present multi-layered sensory experiences for visitors in the limited space. After walking inside, one seems to have entered another world. Extracting the graceful scenery from Dujiangyan, the top of the Ten Scenic Sites in Chengdu, an entire piece of natural granite is processed to create a layered water view. Clear water flows in the crooked stream, stirring ripples that extend outwardly. Watching this scene, residents seem to be surrounded by the natural landscape. Traveling back to the world a thousand years ago, we depicted the Rain Sound Pavilion that carries previous interest of Chengdu with modern design techniques. Sitting in the pavilion, we seem to be chatting with the ancient poet Du Fu. The poetic image extends beyond the doorsill and passes the window to chase the breeze. Drizzles scatter on the carpet of flowers and echo the rustle of bamboo leaves. Located in this fairyland, one cannot help but stop to experience its charm. The simple world from ancient times eventually becomes a paradise on earth in the contemporary era. The water scene of the Water-surrounded Garden and the garden view add radiance to each other, appearing to be a lofty landscape scroll amid buildings. As one walks inside, the feeling of standing aloof arises in one’s heart, though one resides in the thatched cottage. The Flowery Courtyard drew inspiration from Flower Worshipping Festival, a traditional temple fair held in Qingyang Palace. To represent the flourishing scene of blossoms in Chengdu during the Tang and Song Dynasties, we chose oriental cherries, Jacaranda Mimosifolia, and other trees with appreciation values. Eventually, we created a romantic space where wafts of sweet fragrance flow in the air and diverse flowers contend in beauty. The wavy-shaped greening design is matched with a winding strip inlaid with dark and light pebbles, making the proprietors feel like standing in a flowery valley. The stone sculpture in the shape of an imperial jade seal symbolizes prosperity, perfecting setting off the courtyard’s classical atmosphere. A swarm of fish jumps out of the water, stirring ripples that captivate your heart. As you suddenly raise your head, you surprisingly find the swarm of fish has transformed into birds that fly into the sky. These artistic sculptures are made of copper and stainless steel, presenting a fascinating view for owners on the Fish viewing Platform. We placed tiles by hand to imitate ocean waves and arranged greening plants in a wave shape to simulate the undulating mountain ranges. Though only miniature views, they present a majestic atmosphere through consistent and smooth lines, allowing proprietors to enjoy the beautiful landscape in daily life. Meanwhile, the Cloud Pavilion is also a site specially constructed for the elderly to have exercise and breathe in pure oxygen. With its detailed and enriched creativities, GND Landscape combines New Hope Real Estate’s humanistic thinking and the Oriental aesthetical spirit, casting them into every detail of the space. Not only does it have a dignified mansion personality, but also it carries fashionable and interesting charm that revokes people’s perception and pursuits of spiritual enjoyments.
