As the flagship residential development in Shijiazhuang鈥檚 Longquan Lake Area, Plot 55 plays a pivotal role in balancing ecological conservation with high-end living. Drawing inspiration from the region鈥檚 natural textures and cultural heritage, the design embraces the philosophy of 鈥渟eeing the mountains, gazing upon the waters, and remembering the nostalgia of hometown,鈥 translating the symbolism of 鈥渕ountains embracing waters鈥 into a contemporary spatial narrative. Guided by the concept of the traditional landscape painting scroll and the garden principle of 鈥渟cenes changing with every step,鈥 the design constructs a layered progression from urban interface to natural hinterland, integrating minimalist aesthetics to reflect both cultural depth and modern sensibility. Faced with a 12-meter elevation difference, the design team implemented an innovative 鈥渢hree-dimensional landscape weaving鈥 strategy, transforming terrain into terraced planting theaters with seasonal flora, ecological gradients with native vines and rustic groves, and multifunctional vertical wall systems that integrate water and vegetation into sculptural living installations. The landscape serves as a 鈥渓iving vessel鈥 for regional memory, enriched by immersive spatial experiences such as a ceremonial arrival court with cascading waterfalls, intelligent concierge lobbies, water gardens paired with leisure lounges, and multigenerational play zones. Through comprehensive stormwater management, 80% native plant coverage, and carbon-reducing infrastructure such as green roofs and permeable paving, the project exceeds China鈥檚 urban residential planning standards, establishing a replicable benchmark for resilient, low-carbon communities.
