Wuhan Liantou Center

 
Wuhan, Hubei, China
A luxury residential development along the water's edge of the Yangtze River, Wuhan Liantou Center provides a sequenced, experiential tour of this yet-to-be-developed residential retreat. The landscape design harmonizes with the building's architectural style while incorporating detailed elements that express the nearby river and mountains. Upon arrival in the motor court, visitors are welcomed with a fountain view and an art wall shaped as if carved by the river. Once in the courtyard, a stroll through the glass-enclosed foyer provides peaceful views to stone gardens and a reflection pool garden with quiet indoor and outdoor seating areas.
