Appreciation towards ECOLAND for providing the following description:

麓湖总部经济及创意产业发展片区简称“麓湖生态城”，是一座以稀缺的生态环境为基底，聚合高端居住、商务、商业及休闲娱乐等城市配套为一体的新城，距成都市中心约25km。麓湖红石公园建设范围位于麓湖生态城中心地带，场地总体呈十字形状，分布于5个居住组团中间的狭长谷地上。一条具有排洪功能的南干渠自东向西穿过场地，当地水务部门在河堤南侧设置了一条4m宽的巡堤路，需要保留与保护。

公园原有一处巨大的张拉膜结构建筑，下面是一个大的三角形服务台，有简单的饮料及烧烤售卖。易兰设计团队认为这样的设施条件不足以吸引居民使用，同时场地空间也不足，因此在服务台周边增加了几个新的小场地，作为膜结构餐饮场地的补充。场地上可以布置烧烤台、洗菜池、电源和桌椅，约上三五好友，在阳光明媚的周末举行烧烤聚会，团队将此区域命名为”飘香涧”。公园开放后，这个区域深得青年人喜爱，聚会方式不仅有烧烤，还有火锅，成都人爱好美食、热情如火的特质完美展现。

红砂岩的运用。现场勘探过程中，周边建筑组团正在施工，漏出地下大面积的红色土壤，并在其中挖出很多大块的、形态饱满的红砂岩整石。用地及其周边地域的种植土下方，也基本为红砂岩地质，这是非常重要的地质特征。红砂岩是距今约2亿5 000万年前形成的红色地层，是这片场地最久远的记忆。红砂岩强度差异较大，大部分质地松散，呈碎块、颗粒甚至泥沙状，容易被忽视或遗弃。当地人对此司空见惯，但这些形态各异的红色石块触动了设计师敏感的神经，将其作为公园最主要的设计元素，以带来远古历史的厚重感，也能让每位到访者对场地留下特殊记忆。项目确立之初并未命名，由于设计团队对红砂岩的挖掘和利用，在项目推进过程中，它逐渐成为项目的灵魂线索，直至大家接受其景观角度的命名，最终确定为”红石公园”。

该场地属于地产开发附属产品，由开发商进行投资建设，希望设计一系列环境优美的社区绿地，为居民提供优质居住环境，进而提升地产价值。易兰设计团队接到设计任务后，根据各方面条件提出将其建设为功能较完善的独立型社区公园。一期建成后不仅受到周边居民的欢迎，更吸引了许多相距较远的市民前来游玩，极大提高了社区人气和知名度。人们在公园中一边开展丰富的活动，一边享受优美而富有特色的自然环境。这正是人们内心最向往的社区生活，应成为今后居住区建设的发展方向。

Project Context

Luxelake Residential Community is located 25km south of the Chengdu city center in Sichuan Province. The 19-acre Redstone Garden is situated at a low elevation in the middle of a suburban community consisting of five large housing clusters. The region is developed, though lacked community spaces, natural settings, and play facilities. The client wanted a garden that would serve the diverse range of residents.Community feedback was collected, and the design intent was to create a large natural environment sensitive to the native ecology, and provide a range of curated spaces in which to socialize or unwind. The mandate was to create an open space, as a shared backyard garden, in a gated private community.

Due to the low elevation of the area, it needed a comprehensive storm water management system. Form and function converged, creating a flowing waterway and an incorporated rain garden.

A Multigenerational Garden

Connecting people was a fundamental goal by creating a setting for the desired lifestyle and to preserve and represent the site’s unique, natural identity. Traditional aesthetics and native plantings were utilized to connect the garden to its cultural and ecological history. Inherent in the design is the cultivation of a very simple, yet sophisticated, indoor-outdoor living experience for the residents and their guests of all ages.

The design programming intent was to create garden amenities for every age and lifestyle. There are provisions for active residents, including an exercise trail with fitness zones that loops around the outside of the garden, and a dynamic children’s play area that features a number of unique play spaces adjacent to a grand open lawn, which is available for community events and performances. For more tranquil activities, the garden offers locally-inspired bamboo pavilions within in a quiet bamboo forest overlooking rain-garden waterfalls. Intimate courtyards with custom Redstone tables and seating attract community elders to socialize and play cards or chess, while nearby barbecue facilities inspire family gatherings.

Pedestrian entrances for each residential cluster are provided on all sides of the garden connecting to the outer loop with accessible ramps and walkways. Bridges and paths are strategically placed within the interior of the garden to enrich the outdoor journey by linking every amenity of the garden for seamless way finding.

Material Inspiration

Initial site visits revealed a large outcrop of indigenous red stone that geologically dates back approximately 250 million years. Inspired by the geologic features of the site, the easily carved, visually striking red sandstone, too soft for use in construction, is included in the walls, seating, and water features creating a common thread, underscoring the design motif throughout the site.

Modernist bamboo pavilions nestled among the bamboo forest, and placed along the boardwalk surrounding the waterways, provide shade and shelter so the space may be enjoyed in all weather conditions. Located next to the ponds, the pavilions are drenched in mood lighting where reflections from the water illuminate the bamboo walls and roof. Here, the residents find a tranquil space to come together to play chess, drink tea, and socialize.

A rainbow color theme is applied to the children’s play area slide that weaves beautifully through tall trees, and to an education-focused ”kid-powered” irrigation waterwheel. The rainbow colors can also be found on pedestrian bridges and reflect the rain theme of the garden.

Rain Garden

Rainwater management is a key element and focal point of the gardens. Rainwater runoff is directed by the natural elevation and flows into a series of retention ponds and detention areas connected by the mid-valley stream. Designed cascading waterscapes and brooks all lead into a larger central lake whereby the water retention system now connects with the existing municipality storm run-off canal. Riparian edges are enhanced with selected plantings native plants and trees to jumpstart habitat complexity and species richness. Within the Bamboo Forest a series of terraced pools allows rainwater collected from the street above to be filtered by aquatic plants as it passes from pool to pool before becoming part of the garden’s overall water feature system. Terraced waterfalls and ponds are not only an aesthetic choice but also function as intricate rain gardens for essential storm water management within the entirety of the garden, and measures are in place to insure water-flow in the ravine is not impeded in times of high rainfall.

Simple Resilient Planting

Bamboo is a revered species native to Chengdu and so it was crucial for it to play a significant role in the design. Most of the site’s existing bamboo on the west side was preserved in order to set the tone of the quieter part of the garden, and is now supported by generous plantings of native shrubs and ferns. Understories planted along slopes and visible edges provide erosion control and pleasing views for garden goers. Chengdu is a heavily urbanized city with hazardous levels of air pollution that often reach an AQI of 300. Bamboo helps filtering air, and within the bamboo forest there is a marked reduction in air pollutants. The bamboo also buffers sound and temperature, creating a clean, cool, and quiet environment – seldom found in Chengdu.

A large variety of native grasses, flowers, shrubs and trees are used in the garden. Aquatic plants are used in the terraced waterfall and along the brook to assist in filtering rainwater runoff from the surrounding streets. The aquatic plants also create an inviting habitat for frogs that help to mitigate the number of mosquitos in the summer months – an important aspect for the residents.

Planting pockets of native grasses and colorful accent trees soften and add interest to the cascading hillside. The native grasses, trees, and shrubs flower and change color with the seasons. Rustic stairways through natural plantings of Salvia and ornamental grasses welcome residents into the garden. A slightly overgrown path means residents must brush past and touch the plants as they stroll by and discover the garden. Japanese Maple trees provide a punch of color in autumn with the red leaves accenting the red stone, tying the visual components together. Native wildflowers and grasses, mixed with epiphytes border the paths. A bevy of colors and textures foster meditative and mindful walks of discovery around the garden. Overflowing plants disrupt the straight lines of pathways creating organic soft edges.

Traditional Aesthetics

The terraced pools and waterfalls incorporate fountain misters to enhance naturally forming ground fog that shrouds the landscape in an ethereal mist. The naturally occurring fog among the bamboo caught the designer’s attention on initial site visits. Great care was taken to maintain and showcase this natural feature within the garden, giving rise to a spectacular and serene morning encounter. The rain garden pools surround the pavilions, producing a peaceful atmosphere. The cascading waterscape, blanketed in mist, creates an illusion reminiscent of an ancient Chinese painting. Further extending this theme, a traditional zigzag bridge traverses the lower pond adjacent to the cascading falls. The bridge harkens back to a traditional design and ensures that elements of the local culture are incorporated into the garden.

The Impact

Redstone Garden is loved by the residents and has garnered so much attention that the local municipality renamed the nearby subway station ‘Redstone Garden Station.’ The garden has raised the value of residents’ homes and become a popular destination for them and visitors not only from Chengdu but from all around China. Visitors wishing to experience the garden may make an appointment with the community office in order to enjoy this unique space. With a design that considers the combination of nature, culture, and people, the green infrastructure of Redstone Garden will serve the community, and even the city, for generations to come.
