In recent years, Chengdu, China, has developed at a breathtaking speed and become a metropolis of 26 million. Most of my visits here were for business, so they were always rushed. Yet, what draws me to Chengdu isn't its development pace or efficiency, but its laid - back vibe, the "bashi" feeling the locals often mention.

Modern cities, forests of steel and concrete, are efficiency - centered. Houses are reduced to cement boxes, mere shelters rather than homes. A true home should be warm and loving, a space for family and neighbor interaction. For Chinese people, an ideal home includes a garden and a courtyard.

The Dongyue Jiuyuan project fulfills this ideal. We aim to incorporate Chengdu's unique relaxed vibe into the design, creating a residential space that is poetic, communicative, and full of love, transcending mere living.
For this project, we focus on three key concepts: relaxation, social interaction, and micro - vacation. Relaxation reflects the times and reaffirms emotional value in functional design. Social interaction acknowledges our social nature; family life involves parent - child bonding, hosting guests, and communication. Micro - vacation responds to life's demands. Amidst fast - paced city life, home should be a relaxing, poetic retreat.
