South Golden Bay is located in Chengdu, southwest China. As a typical case of the central core lake area of Luxelakes, the project demonstrates the concepts and achievements of Luxelakes in ecological restoration, landscape design, and the integration of architecture and landscape. Through careful landscape planning and design, a space for coexistence between man and nature has been created.

Taking advantage of the unique advantages of the project site, with "over the wilderness" as the design theme, the design method of light landscape intervention is adopted, from the open lake to the wetlands on the shore, from the undulating grassland to the scattered buildings, and then to the viewing platform in the air. From horizontal to vertical, from open to private, a variety of different spatial feelings are formed, which increases the fun and exploration of the space.

The layout cleverly combines ecological functions with humanistic experience. The entire site presents a state of breaking out of the wilderness and growing naturally, forming a pattern of mutual penetration with nature, creating a demonstration area that is suitable for both ecological display and daily life. The architecture and landscape design complement each other, focusing on the continuity and overall beauty of the space so that the natural elements and the artificial environment are seamlessly connected, showing the unique charm of the integration of ecology and art.
