Created by LACIME, SUNAC·ONE RIVERSIDE PARK is located on the south bank of Puhe River, Pubei New District, Shenyang. The project site is at the intersection of nature and urban life. A city is an open book in which its aspirations can be seen; through the city, we can learn about the cultural pursuits of its inhabitants. The book of Shenyang is full of the history of Shengjing(also known as Mukden, the capital of the Later Jin Dynasty); it is the cradle of the city and the spiritual home of people.

The designers combine deconstruction with Eastern images, and realize the symbiosis of historical and cultural continuation and commercial real estate development through a living space integrated into the urban texture.

The overall design of the space stresses the sense of depth and emphasizes the combination of virtuality and reality, aiming at creating a dynamic and static beauty of layering. On the premise of meeting people’s living needs, the project integrates natural ecology into the design, combines light and shadow, nature and modernity, elegance and luxury, and pursues the ritual space with connotation and nobility. To elevate the atmosphere beyond warm spiritual enjoyment is the design goal of LACIME.

The project breaks the traditional boundary treatment mode and continues the architectural mechanism; the undulating slopes and orderly block interspersion help to highlight the sense of domain of the site. It creates a unified boundary form for municipal public places and provides a social open space for people to gather and rest.

Vegetation and light break the scale of the space, keeping the square in a lively atmosphere.

The use of one-way reflecting glass is visually permeable and ensures privacy within the site. It looks like a realistic landscape painting from the interior of the site, revealing a kind of alienation from the noisy world outside.

Behind the wall is the expression of life. The transitional interior architectural space attracts the viewers to get into the given situation of the design, and then open the corresponding quality lifestyle through the space.

The central axis sequence and the tic-tac-toe pattern / “Shengjing” image axis continues from the entrance to the central landscape area. The round water scene at the entrance is as beautiful as the bright moon, which describes the square and circular layout of Shengjing in a metaphorical way.

The image of “door” is regarded as a cultural symbol, which aims to continue the traditional etiquette. The horizontal extension technique strengthens the sense of space domain and effectively organizes the complicated separation of people and vehicles.The transparency of the materials enables them to produce visual dislocation through light and shadow, making the natural beautylooming.

Light and color shuttle and linger in different media, playing a slow music of time. On the opposite side of light, art is presented in a new form, murmuring a spatial secret along with novel sensory experiences.

The dance of light and shadow

Space and colors can affect people’s emotional experience in the first time. When people are in it, they don’t follow a specific path to a certain goal, which is called borderless feeling.

Perhaps tradition needs to be refined to the point of precision, but art does not. It is a touch of green in life or an intimate and familiar picture in a scene. Everything comes from experience, perception, and even casual expression, just like the tranquility shown by the red at the bottom of water. In the atrium space of a large-scale ecological and natural system, it is necessary to balance the comprehensive thinking with art.

The experience way to the Sales Center, Red maple trees set off the twilight and reflections in the water, and the sky and cloud shadows serve as the background, creating an ecological beauty and calm mood of “a breeze is blowing and the water is calm and quiet”. The temperament and interest come from the inner nature of childlike innocence, not from exaggerated material...

Inspired by people’s natural experience, the design of back yard focuses on the Shengjing style cultural atmosphere and highlights the integration of architecture and environment. Pavilions and corridors are designed on the water, so as to let people get closer to the water and experience a quiet and poetic life.

The Sales Center and the model houses are 300 meters apart, and the path is near the edge of the site, how to eliminate the boredom of walking? The exhibiting corridor breaks down the single path structure, effectively blocks the interference of external peepers, and forms an elastic space with multiple possibilities.

Looking into the central courtyard from the wind and rain gallery, you can see the water reflecting the daylight, forming a calm and distant atmosphere. No matter how the seasons change, it always brings different feelings to people. Create a warm living atmosphere in a small space.
