Hangzhou is built upon its mountains and waters, with poetry as its soul. The misty beauty of West Lake, the literary charm of the Song dynasty, and the Jiangnan-style courtyards together shape its gentle and elegant essence. When local CeHai's azure fantasy meets this ancient city, GUNDARI responds with white stone to the white walls, blending seaside imagery with mountain landscapes, allowing romance and habitation to coexist. This is not about transplanting foreign elements, but about creating a new lifestyle aesthetic with a natural sense of vacation for Hangzhou.
By combining the landscape with the architectural layout's inherent conditions, a continuous five-section exhibition space is created, using the interlocking multi-level courtyards to unfold the pure and elegant natural atmosphere of the Mediterranean. Sightlines and footsteps freely shift between multiple courtyards, from openness to tranquility, from the rhythm of the city to the leisurely pace of a vacation. The space is no longer divided, but connected into a journey back to oneself, regaining relaxation.
When mountains and sea breezes meet in Hangzhou, we meticulously recreate the soul of the Mediterranean—a tapestry of silvery-gray and verdant hues, where olive trees, lavender, sage, and rosemary weave a natural poetic landscape. Roughness and refinement intertwine, light and shadow converse with texture, and beauty is found in every detail, from the rough stone walls to the mosaic pool floor. In this rationally tranquil space, we use light as our brush and wind as our rhythm to compose a living poem that pays homage to the eternal blue.
