The vision is to create a six-star international green health and wellness community, conceptualized around the themes of life and wisdom. Benchmarked against the international advanced Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC) model, four distinct zones are being developed: Active Living, Assisted Living, Wellness and a Hospital component.
The overall project planning takes advantage of the variation in terrain, maximizing the potential of the site. Centered around a green valley at the core of the community, multi-tiered sunken plaza spaces are thoughtfully designed, creating a unique secluded valley experience that exudes understated luxury. A multi-level transportation system, tailored for year-round comfort for the elderly, ensures easy accessibility. The valley also caters to residents' social gatherings which instills a sense of community. Framed by cascading water features, the landscape is designed to provide an immersive and sensorial outdoor experience, offering changing sceneries throughout the four seasons.
Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Huai tree (Sophora japonica) has been planted within palaces and is still an integral part of the cityscape today. The Lobby Community Center takes inspiration from the towering Huai tree, embodying the concepts of the ‘Tree of Life’ and the ‘Tree of Wisdom’ – the design themes of the community. Taking cues from luxury hospitality resort design principles, the arrival journey begins with the sound of flowing water, leading through a three-story-high cascade waterfall, revealing a transparent community center characterized by soaring glass walls, extended delicate eaves, and sleek lines. These features epitomize the modern design philosophy of minimalism, perfectly resonating with the calmness and liberation of individuals who have traversed life's journey. The Lobby is not just befitting as the reception of a six-star community; it exemplifies its spirit.
Contemporary architectural language and materials are used to encapsulate the charm of the traditional Han and Tang architecture. Gently sloping roofs and subtle ornamentations project a sense of modern urbanity. Solar panels on the roof are incorporated to reflect the project’s commitment to planetary responsibility. Utilizing local natural materials, the cultural concepts of ancient Chang'an and modern Qujiang are harmoniously melded to echo Xi'an's profound cultural traditions.
The community boasts high-end health centers, medical services, daytime care, therapeutic hot springs, and other amenities comparable to the array offered by luxury hospitality resorts. It is a secluded haven within the city for individuals to continue thriving, to rejuvenate and to live well into the later years.
The northern parcel designated to be developed into the medical and healthcare zone will include a hospital, elderly care center, medical rehabilitation and fitness center, and medical examination center. Similar to the completed southern parcel, the vibrant health and wellness area with green ecology and a humanistic focus will center around sunken plazas and feature facilities such as a badminton court, swimming pool, specialty dining, retail and kid-friendly amenities that facilitates multi-generational bonding during family visitations.
Zhongda International 99 is poised as a sanctuary for residents seeking a fulfilling and vibrant lifestyle into their golden years.
