The design of the Specialty Guest Residences is inspired by the spatial and cultural richness of Chuanxi Linpan traditional Sichuan rural compounds known for their integration with farmland, water systems, and forested lots. Layered with influences from traditional Chinese wandering water gardens, the Linpan Courtyard concept creates a serene, immersive retreat that unfolds like a living landscape painting.

Each Linpan Courtyard is an organic composition of architecture and nature, seamlessly weaving together residence buildings, courtyards, water features, trees, and pavilions into a cohesive spatial system. At the heart of each courtyard lies a central pavilion and small landscape feature, acting as a visual and social anchor around which the guest units are arranged. These courtyards are embraced by lush woodlands, which transition gracefully into expansive surrounding farmlands, blurring the boundary between built environment and nature.

Carefully placed irrigation streams flow through or alongside the courtyards, linking them into the resort’s broader hydrological and spatial hierarchy. These gentle waterways, inspired by traditional water garden design, guide movement and provide moments of reflection throughout the guest experience. As guests wander through the site, each step reveals a new scene—a shaded grove, a quiet pavilion, a view across golden fields—reflecting the poetic logic of traditional Chinese landscape planning.

The architectural vocabulary is grounded in regional tradition yet interpreted with restraint and refinement. The result is a space that not only reflects the spirit of Chuanxi Linpan living but also evokes the timeless elegance of wandering gardens, offering guests an ever-changing experience of discovery, cultural depth, and deep connection to the land.

The Waterfront Courtyards gracefully embody the essence of traditional Sichuan dwellings from both plains and mountainous regions through their robust stone and wood construction. These architectural elements honor the simplicity and charm of vernacular homes, preserving authenticity by adhering closely to original building footprints. Each courtyard retains its unique character while offering a variety of thoughtfully designed amenities. These include welcoming public recreation spaces, communal gathering areas, refreshing swimming pools, and lush outdoor green landscapes enhanced by serene water features, creating vibrant, harmonious environments that invite relaxation and social connection.

07. Landscape Residences

The Landscape Suites draw inspiration from the enchanting vernacular settlements scattered across Sichuan’s hills, mountains, and rivers, embracing a delightfully organic and charmingly irregular aesthetic. Nestled within the resort’s serene setting, these suites offer guests a peaceful retreat centered around a tranquil small lake, surrounded by stunning natural landscapes that invite rest and rejuvenation.

Reflecting the spirit of the region’s architectural heritage, each suite features compact patios and welcoming terraces that extend outdoor living spaces. These thoughtfully designed areas serve as communal gathering spots, encouraging guests to connect while escaping the pace of urban life.

The materials selected for the Landscape Suites are carefully chosen to echo Sichuan’s rich vernacular traditions, ranging from wooden farmhouses to stately stone manors. This authentic palette not only grounds the design in local culture but also creates a warm, inviting atmosphere that allows guests to fully immerse themselves in the region’s unique architectural and cultural landscape.
