The project is situated in the Youzhu area, within the central urban district of Qingtian County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province. Located in Youzhu Subdistrict, it lies approximately 4.5 kilometers from the Qingtian County Government and about 5.2 kilometers from Qingtian Railway Station, offering excellent regional accessibility. Adjacent to the Oujiang River, the project enjoys outstanding waterfront views and a rich natural ecological setting. Building on its prime location and rare river-view resources, it is conceived as a high-quality mixed-use residential and commercial community that blends diverse living and retail functions to deliver a distinctive, contemporary riverside lifestyle. In terms of architectural design, the project features a modern minimalist facade with sloped roofs. The color scheme is anchored in warm tones and mid-to-low brightness hues, combining warm colors, gray, and light-toned coatings with glass balustrades. By minimizing decorative elements, the design achieves a lightweight, refined, and elegant architectural presence. At night, continuous linear lighting outlines the building silhouettes, creating a distinctive and recognizable urban image along the waterfront. The interior design carries forward the linear language of the façade. Public residential spaces are finished with high-quality, eco-friendly materials such as marble, engineered stone slabs, ceramic tiles, wood veneer wall panels, and decorative paints, fostering a warm and comfortable living atmosphere. Within the community, covered walkways are thoughtfully integrated into the landscape, providing a rain-free route for residents returning home. The landscape design capitalizes on the site's elevation changes, using a series of terraced levels to form a multi-dimensional landscape system. Graceful plantings and well-shaped mature trees naturally connect the public spaces, cultivating a naturally livable "oasis" ambiance.
