Adopting the landscape technique of viewing the grand from the subtle, it echoes the call of distant mountains and returns all things to their most pristine state. Walking into the garden, one feels an intimate ease with nature and attains pure inner tranquility.

At the Minor Heat solar term, we invite you to Tianqing Mansion, to cast off the mortal hustle and immerse yourself in poetic serenity.

01 FIREWORKS DISPLAY WINDOW

The first homecoming interface from the metro is presented by a 26-meter-wide oriental sloped-roof gate street. It not only embodies the overall tone of the project, but also envisions connectivity with future commercial developments, serving as an expansion venue for local Changsha brand businesses. Gathering earthly vitality, it interprets the bustling street scene depicted in Along the River During the Qingming Festival by Northern Song painter Zhang Zeduan.
△ The gate street embodies the unity of gate and street: inside lies a serene courtyard, while outside lingers the refined and upscale urban liveliness.

Song-style aesthetics lay emphasis on restraint and artistic conception — a charm of absolute purity and elegance, lightness and profundity, permeated with strong humanistic spirit. The entrance is hidden amid lush greenery. Plain and rustic, elegant and unadorned materials blend in perfect simplicity, delivering warmth and serenity to welcome guests with exquisite subtlety.

02 WELCOME MOUNTAIN GATE

△ Distant Mountains / Dense Woods / Mountain Gate / Grass Path

We lay stones one by one to integrate with the terrain, allowing rocks and vegetation to grow naturally from stone crevices just as they do in wild mountains, restoring the original look of nature.
△ Mountain Gate (A sloped-roof corridor of about 40 meters, creating a lightweight facade through the virtual-real contrast of double-layer eaves, orderly grille screens and Fuding black stone)
△ Wood-finished grille / "Simplicity holds unmatched beauty under heaven"

03 Waterscape & Natural Leisure

"Rest quietly on the stones by the stream, listen to the rain and watch the carp swim in dreams".

The pond is surrounded by woods, with groups of koi fish swimming and ducks wandering freely. Walking across the stone bridge, after winding paths, you are already among the mountains, peaceful and leisurely.
△One soft, one firm. In sight, the plain beauty of the greatest truth in simplicity.

△Stream water overflows between scattered rocks, with waterfalls, gurgling streams and shallow beaches. The water flows winding among the mountains, the landscape sings in harmony, enhancing the tranquility with sound.

△Customized fragmented paving of Binzhou green stone restores the beauty of stone, offering an interesting stone bridge garden tour.
Stepping up the stairs, all you can see are mountain forests, while your ears are filled with the clear sound of falling waterfalls, like long-running mountain streams or gentle breezes blowing through pine forests.
The most implicit expression of Oriental literati — to speak of character without writing it, just mentioning "pine" is enough. Slender and dense pine needles, cold and transcendent. Immerse in the pine wind, be one with the pines, let the heart soar between heaven and earth.

04 QINGLV SHUI COURTYARD

Chinese gardens focus on "painting charm". Mr. Tong Jun once summarized Chinese gardens as "three-dimensional Chinese paintings" — with scenes to seek, paths to wander, and springs to listen to.
△ Raindrops dance lightly, rippling in endless circles.
Feeling nature in the changes of four seasons, escaping from the hustle and bustle, and devoting emotions to landscapes is the original intention. In early summer, everything is green, as if straying into an immortal forest spring courtyard, sharing the same summer with the ancients.
Pine forests shade the area, with vertical waterfalls falling down. Under the undulating terrain are leisure platforms with stoves under the woods, where friends can sit around and chat. Separated from the city by a wall, you can quietly enjoy the joy of forest springs from distant mountains.
△A lamp, a forest, a painting, green moss and natural stones, warm and natural.
"Relax in moderation, follow nature".

05 BANSHAN COURTYARD

We embed a whole landscape into the courtyard, with buildings embracing the entire mountains and rivers. Looking out from every window indoors, all you can see are landscape views. Swim, exercise and rest in the mountains, with streams, overlapping mountains or quiet mountain paths in sight.
The misty water vapor is like the clouds and smoke in Shang Qi's "Spring Mountain Scroll", steaming in the mountain mist, ethereal and flexible.
The beauty of stones lies in inspiring self-reflection and silent expression. Gardens are inseparable from stones. "A small stone represents a thousand fathoms of Mount Tai". Gardens pursue the realm, seeing the grand in the small and the small in the grand.
Mountains and rocks are scattered in different shapes, with deep gullies and gurgling streams. The sound of water tinkles in stone crevices, stirring the natural sound of mountains and rivers.
Sparse shadows slant across the clear shallow water, with branches scattered and slanted, contrasting beautifully with the crystal-clear water surface.
"Who shall sit with me? The bright moon, the clear wind, and I". Through the corridor, you can see the beauty of heaven and earth, accompanied by the clear sound of landscapes, bright moon and fresh wind, showing the infinity of nature within a short distance.
Environment is born from light, emotion changes with environment. Graceful Chinese tallow trees with intertwined branches and natural scattered stones make the courtyard more quiet and profound.

06 GREEN AND LUSH FOREST SHADOWS

Different from the grand landscape of the front yard, it adopts the secluded technique of "wandering alone on the fragrant path in the small garden", enjoying the springs and valleys without leaving the hall.

07 Stones & Garden Realm

The project achieved a beautiful result through an arduous creation process! The team worked closely with the client and construction team, from selecting stones and trees to shaping terrains and on-site guidance, striving to create the ideal landscape, making every tree and stone present a natural sense of relaxation.

Gardening is not unreasonable stacking. It is to let nature and beauty flow into life without traces. We compose the frame, the landscapes render the color, follow the rhythm of nature, and relax the body and mind slowly...
