Anpin Yuanshe Heyuan: A Blend of Tradition and Modernity

Preserving History and Embracing the Future

Vanke Anpin Yuanshe is a unique residential development that preserves the historical layout of streets and lanes in Nanjing. With its low-rise courtyard-style residences, including streets, lanes, yards, and light wells, it captures the essence of the city's traditional architecture. The design features grey tiles, white walls, and wavy hip roofs, creating an ideal residential style that combines the charm of a house with the accessibility of a park.

The inspiration for Anpin Yuanshe came from the desire to create a space that belongs to both the past and the future. The design reflects the immutable connotation of the city, while also embracing change and innovation. It is a testament to the evolving aesthetic of Chinese habitat design.

The realization of Anpin Yuanshe required a careful balance between history and modernity. The project started in January 2019 and was completed in May 2019. Throughout the process, the design team faced challenges in finding the right balance between cultural preservation and city building. However, their dedication and commitment resulted in a design that seamlessly integrates tradition and contemporary aesthetics.

One of the unique features of Anpin Yuanshe is its combination of hardness and softness. The two forms of Heyuan and Xiaoyuan represent strength and inclusiveness, respectively. This combination creates a harmonious and inviting living environment that appeals to a wide range of residents.

As Kot Ge explains, "Anpin Yuanshe is like a bridge, connecting the nature of south Nanjing city with modern Nanjing. It embraces inclusiveness and differentiation as beauty, reflecting the traits of the city itself."

The design of Anpin Yuanshe has received recognition for its creativity and ingenuity. In 2020, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category. This prestigious award honors designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to improvements in quality of life.

Vanke Anpin Yuanshe is not just a residential house; it is a testament to the harmonious coexistence of tradition and modernity. With its unique design and thoughtful integration of historical elements, it offers residents a truly exceptional living experience in the heart of Nanjing.
