The design components seamlessly merge with the natural contour of the land, creating a restorative and calming atmosphere for visitors. These components include interactive water features, meandering walking trails, a captivating sunset tunnel, a serene sundial, a tranquil tea garden, a semi-outdoor community workshop, and a serene meditation courtyard, among others. Together, these elements form an integrated landform that harmoniously connects the buildings and open spaces, with both continuous and discontinuous walls.
This space is designed to be a sanctuary for a community of families and friends, providing an iconic and high-end retreat inspired by the enchanting tales of Wuyi. The dining hall serves as an anchor, while the entire area combines bold gestures with small garden spaces, creating magical moments framed by cohesive building walls. The promenade, characterized by its continuous wall line, offers a visual contrast between the intimate retreat spaces and the surrounding environment.
The juxtaposition of the distinctive villas and the street-level retail shops creates an engaging contrast, enhancing the flow between the buildings and the open space. The retreat houses or villas at the lower level form a continuous edge along the promenade, seamlessly merging with an event courtyard, a captivating water feature, an outdoor meditation area, and a plaza. The focus is on the visual transition from the retreat houses to the vibrant community, providing an intimate open space that emerges from the natural surroundings.
The design concept combines natural elements, innovative features, and thoughtful integration of built and open spaces to create a harmonious and captivating environment for visitors to enjoy.
