The smaller scale of the residential precinct consists of primarily two main landscaped courtyards for residents. The clients strong desire to provide all the facilities expected in a modern, urban complex has ensured that the Landscape Architects' focus was on internal links/function as well as links to the greater external community. Overall the residential buildings set within landscaped green gardens provide a contemporary green oasis in the greater urban context for residents to enjoy.

中央主干道形似被拉长的三角形，面向中心广场和水景逐渐增宽。行人沿路漫步，道路渐宽，视野也愈发开阔，随之满园绿意映入眼帘，紧接着的便是大面积地面铺装上的景观廊架和住户休闲、聚会的场所。

The central main path is shaped like an elongated triangle and becomes progressively wider towards the main courtyard and water features. As you move along the path views open out internally towards the gardens and a larger paved area is created that contains the central pavilion and resident’s plaza/ gathering space.

主干道两旁的树木随风摇曳，在阳光中起舞，以地面为幕布，洒下迷人的变幻图案。

The shadows make patterns on the ground created by the avenue trees lining the pathway.

景观廊架呈现现代、简约形式，在四周环境中显得尤为轻巧。为应对冬雪覆盖的情况，廊架的屏风添加了明亮的色彩元素，与四季交替中的盈盈绿意和皑皑白雪形成鲜明对比。

The pavilions were designed as simple modern structures that would sit lightly within the landscape. Conscious that the winter months can be blanketed by snow, coloured elements were introduced into screens to provide contrast to the greens of the planting and the white of the snow at the various times of the year.

屏风上的图案设计视觉趣味十足，既能引导行人，又为人们提供了较为私密的场地。

The patterns of the screens provide visual interest as well as directing pedestrian flows and give privacy to users.

两个庭院空间内均设有景观廊架，其中中心广场的廊架背靠水景、面积更大，旨在为人们在炎炎夏日提供一个舒适的户外交流空间，享受临水的清爽宜人。

Within each of the courtyard spaces a pergola is provided with the main plaza space adjacent to the water feature being the larger of the two. This is detailed to allow groups to meet and communicate with the water adjacent providing sound and cooling air in summer.

水景由水幕墙和地面涌泉组成。水幕墙隔断了主要功能活动区和周边的住宅楼，在一定程度上确保了隐私；同时，潺潺流水声更是给四周景观增添了十足的自然风韵。

The water feature contains a combination of cascading fountain wall and ground fountains. The high wall provides privacy between the main function space and the residents building nearby, as well as helping to increase the sound of the water within the landscape.

广场道路两旁皆设置了现代简约风格坐凳，饰有优雅的金色马赛克线条图案。

The modern simple urban benches on both sides of the footpath plaza are decorated with golden mosaic patterns.

这些雅致的线条装饰元素被运用在景墙、坐凳和地面的铺装上，为单调的石面增添了更多精致细节；同时通过同一元素的巧妙运用，社区景观的整体感也得到强化。

These elegant patterns appear in feature walls, benches and paving, adding fine detail to the stone and psychologically connecting the landscape elements as a whole.

中心草坪东面是充满活力色彩的儿童游乐场地，与成人活动区域相邻，可以满足多样的陪护需求。

To the east of the main lawn a children’s playground with vibrant colors is connected to an adult activity zone which satisfies varied needs for children and adults together.

在兼顾广场区域整体设计的前提下，我们打造了一个可供攀岩的景观草坡作为玩乐设施，也为人们提供了一个绝佳的儿童看护地。适合全年龄段的健身娱乐设施连接起消防通道，进一步扩大了社区内锻炼区域的范围。

Working within the overall scale of the courtyard we created mounds that provide active play and opportunities to overlook the site. Facilities for play to all ages have been incorporated that link to the sites EVA roads to further extend the scope/ opportunities of the recreation facilities.

傍晚时分，父母可以和孩子一起爬到草坡顶部，抬头仰望落日余晖、霞光万丈，度过亲密的亲子互动时间。

In the evening parents can join their children on the mounds to watch the sun set.

相较中心广场活跃热闹的气氛，组团花园则更为安静悠闲。

The secondary courtyard is a passive activity space, a complement to the active central plaza. 

The courtyard is dominated by a large open lawn free from built elements to focus on the garden. Curving planting beds and large trees provide a comfortable space to relax and enjoy the shade provided under the pergola.

与中心广场廊架设计元素相同的另一处景观廊架则立在花园一角。闲看庭前花开花落，漫随天外云卷云舒，没有比这里更适合呆坐闲聊的地方了。

The pergola has similar design elements to the larger central one and stands at the corner of the courtyard – there is no better place to sit for an afternoon contemplating or communicating with friends. 

屋顶花园设置在两栋住宅楼的一楼连接处，这样的设计在住宅社区中并不多见，却是都会晶彩的点睛之笔。该处花园使得居民可以轻松享受带有草坪和休闲桌椅的户外活动场所，对在此度过亲子时光的父母而言也更易于看护。

Unusual in residential gardens there is a linking roof garden between two of the residential buildings at the level of the first floor. This garden allows residents easy access to an easily supervised outdoor space that has a simple function lawn and seating.

屋顶花园的用途灵活，不需花费太多的维护精力。人工草坪上摆放着简约风格的户外桌椅，可随意移动安置，满足不管是个人休闲或小型聚会，还是多人社区活动的不同需求。平台空地的闲适，以及高处的开阔视野，都为居民提供了享受社区生活的绝佳场所。

Designed as a low maintenance space the artificial lawn has simple tables and chairs that can be arranged as the users like to allow big groups or small gatherings/individuals to enjoy. Residents can enjoy views over the internal landscape courts from an elevated position.

都会晶彩的景观区域虽然有限，但设计构思巧妙，设施完善，让户外活动的可能性丝毫不受空间大小局限。秉承着以人为本，创造卓越空间的理念，普利斯设计集团再次为人们打造了一个大方舒适、风格永存的宜居之地。

Although the site is small it is very well equipped and detailed for residents to have all the recreational opportunities given by often larger projects. With the understanding that spaces are created for people, Place Design Group has created a highly desirable residential community to cater for residents now and into the future!
