Zhongtian & Hiwell · Gundari is located in Hangzhou, a city shaped by mountains, water, and a long-standing poetic tradition. Drawing from Mediterranean spatial qualities and material sensibilities, the project establishes a calm, resort-like living environment rooted in light, water, and daily movement.
The landscape design takes advantage of the architectural layout and vertical conditions to create a continuous spatial sequence composed of layered courtyards and interconnected circulation, guiding movement through varying degrees of openness and intimacy.
The central water courtyard becomes the heart of the project, organized along a cross-shaped axis, forming a boundless waterscape of approximately 5,000 square meters. Material and planting strategies are deliberately restrained, beige limestone, textured stone walls, and bronze-toned aluminum panels interact with light, while Mediterranean-inspired planting reinforces the resort-like atmosphere.
