Lakeside Mansion is a real estate development located in Jiangbei District, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China, at the intersection of Xiajiang Street and Huancheng North Road and the crossing of Wantou Road and Xiajiang North Road. With Yaojiang River in the east, another river in the west, and Xinghu Lake in the west-north, it faces Rihu Lake in the south. Besides, the riverside Park in Wantou Peninsula is nearby. The unique natural resources provide good prerequisites for landscape expression.
In the style of the metropolis supplemented by the landscape axis in the French garden, the landscape design creates a visual shock to bring a sense of blockbuster. With careful consideration of symmetry, proportion, and spatial relationship, the landscape space aims to create a comfortable living environment visually and functionally.
The road network extends around the axis that runs through the whole park, highlighting the beauty of order and sense of sequence and ceremony. The smooth circulation runs throughout the open garden road, where the streamlines create a flexible space while the multi-layered structure of the road network ensures accessibility and convenience.
The hotel-style entrance creates a ceremony for returning home. The magnificent entrance design brings the impact of the first impression. The structure of the entry door is clear with concise lines, the unpretentious yet luxurious, elegant, and scientific design makes the aesthetic collision between rationality and sensibility trigger the most essential beauty of contrast.
The tall porch enhances the feeling of entering the residential area, and the two trees on the left and right are in pairs to welcome the residents. Considering the sunlight blocking the low-rise apartment, the designer controls the width and height of the canopy of the arbors to guarantee the living quality for all the residents.
Through the sublime and refined entrance, the open square further enhances the sense of ritual of returning home. As the visual focus, the triangular spring waterscape is complemented with the characteristic planting basins to showcase the beauty of order and symmetry. The pavement divides different functions and guides the way, making circulation clear and convenient.
At the end of the road network, the landscape wall features regular and romantic patterns, which obscure the vision of the inside and outside of the garden, increasing the visual saturation, dividing the functional space, and enriching the layers of the garden.
The plant distribution in the open space highlights the design concept of modern, exquisite, and suitable for the tree and the land. The landscape embellishment conforms to the times and modern aesthetics and strives to create a modern, concise, and atmospheric planting atmosphere, highlighting the clear lines in the whole project.
