Nestling against the Qinling Mountains and embracing Qujiang Pool, THE CITY ONE ( "Qixia Li" in Chinese) features architectural aesthetics that blend the ancient historical charm with the contemporary rhythm, creating a peaceful retreat within the bustling city. The Chinese name originates from the Qixia Gate of ancient Chang'an, evoking an elegant prelude at the end of spring and the beginning of summer, singing the unique melody of tranquility and elegance through the changing seasons. Using the city's fabric as a design element and every touch of texture as a color palette, it delicately outlines the quiet dialogue between people and dwellings throughout the four seasons. Every time of returning home seems like a poetic journey through time...
