Country / Region

China

ocated in Qingyang District of Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, the project is a life club built by C&D Group, a traditional oriental aesthetic brand. It is surrounded by several excellent primary and secondary schools, and the rich educational atmosphere and the life club’s Song Dynasty style well complement each other. As a life club with a large floor area in the residential area, it contains two parts: the above-ground space and the underground space. The above-ground part adopts a triple-courtyard style to reflect the Chinese Song aesthetics of courtyard connecting with the gate, the underground part features two entrances for pedestrians and vehicles, which converge to the reception hall through the above-ground club and the underground light hall respectively. There are reception room, teahouse, parent-child activity area and winding Chinese garden aboveground, and the underground space is arranged with independent teahouse and fitness room, private banquet hall and other club facilities.

SHUXIANGYUNJIN is the first project in Chengdu with the theme of "Song Dynasty charm", which is a romantic representation of the aesthetic experience of the Song Dynasty. The design process witnesses several breakthroughs from the conventional methods used to create Chinese style products. It is not limited by the solemnity of traditional culture, but adheres to the simple way of "the greatest truths are the simplest" of Song Dynasty style, popularizing "elegance" in every detail of daily life.

The traditional Chinese aesthetic of the Song Dynasty, which has led the standard of beauty for 1,000 years, is still elegant and beautiful even by today's standards, and this project draws on it. Now "Song Dynasty charm" is no longer just the name of the dynasty, it has evolved into a unique aesthetic symbol in the history of art.

The "Song Dynasty charm" has created a historical precedent of combining pure Song Dynasty style with contemporary classic dwelling. The project innovatively integrates "Song Dynasty aesthetics" with modern architectural aesthetics to create an aesthetic experience of "lightness and elegance, exquisiteness and delicacy".
