The layout emphasizes a sense of grandeur and ceremony through design elements such as the “Central Axis Open Vista,” “Grand Courtyard Entry,” and “Three Gates, Four Courtyards” concept. The main entrance, inspired by local cultural heritage, features landscape techniques such as bridges, stones, and water to create a stunning four-layered courtyard scene. As a cultural vessel, the architecture continues the grand and majestic style of the Tang Dynasty, yet modernizes it, reflecting a perfect balance of power and beauty.
The main entrance building adopts the traditional Tang Dynasty design of a nine-bay, three-door façade with a wudian roof, complemented by an 80-meter-long base, evoking a sense of elegance and grandeur. Drawing from royal palace regulations, the project incorporates north and south garden lobbies, exuding the splendor and charm of Tang architecture. The project also employs Greentown’s renowned “Eight Tang Craftsmanship Techniques,” integrating traditional patterns such as crabapple blossoms and rolling cloud motifs, demonstrating a timeless dedication to craftsmanship.
In terms of landscape design, the project revisits Tang Dynasty architectural gardens, creating themed spaces such as banqueting, lanterns, dust washing, music, and leisure, which evoke the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty. For example, the banquet area features palace-style architecture to welcome guests; lanterns adorn the main entrance, creating a beautiful nighttime scene; the dust-washing area uses the imagery of “horse-treading fragrance” to design the vehicle drop-off area; the music-themed garden evokes the atmosphere of Tang Dynasty courts with music and evening banquets; and the leisure area uses moonlight as an inspiration for the sunken courtyard design, creating a tranquil space for enjoyment.
