More than just a park, the 4.8-acre landscape embodies the 1,670-year-old Chinese tradition of stream hiking, celebrating social gatherings and the interconnection of literature, nature, and human connection. Inspired by this cultural legacy and the local river's natural confluence with beach dunes, the park employs water as its unifying element, with a 320-meter accessible stream winding through the site, evoking scenes from ancient paintings.
The design sculpts the land into artistic streams and landforms, creating a metaphorical abstraction of nature and evoking cultural memory. Learning through play, the design immerses families and children in rich landscape experiences, fostering a deeper understanding of hydrological and ecological systems.

At Aranya Shoreline in Qinhuangdao, a community of over 2,000 families faced a significant demand for public spaces and local amenities. To address this need, the linear heart of the community was reimagined into a stream park, serving as a revitalizing catalyst, creating inclusive, high-quality open spaces for residents while attracting restaurants and retail businesses.
It acts as a catalyst, breathing life into the linear heart of the large community, creating much-needed and inclusive open spaces for residents and visitors. It transforms the purely residential area into a vibrant mixed-use space, fostering the growth of restaurants and retail businesses.
This project aligns with multiple UNSDGs by promoting ecological sustainability, social inclusivity, and economic resilience. • SDG 11: Revitalizes a dense urban area into a walkable, accessible public realm. • SDG 13: Expands green spaces to reduce heat, absorb carbon, and manage stormwater. • SDG 15: Introduces 120 ash trees and native plants to support biodiversity and habitats. • SDG 3: Offers a serene setting for exercise, relaxation, and cultural interaction. • SDG 9: Sits atop a complex podium, showcasing integrated urban and ecological design. • SDG 8: Boosts local economy by attracting shops and restaurants. Through these contributions, the project creates a more livable, climate-resilient, and socially connected urban landscape.
Minimalist design principles shape the park's aesthetic. The design team envisioned meandering streams winding through a forest-like setting, featuring 120 ash trees that provide lush, green shade. With native perennials, the forest fosters a calm and serene atmosphere. Landscape forms and elements are abstractly presented to achieve a pure and cohesive look. The stream, crafted using only two types of locally sourced stones, serves as an artistic metaphor for the local river and its hydrological processes. The stream park also serves as an educational landscape, encouraging families and children to learn through play. It provides diverse landscape experiences and engaging elements, fostering a deeper understanding of hydrological and ecological systems. Plant exploration along paths and stream allows residents to gain insights into ecological systems as well as the rich plant palette of the region. Situated above a podium, the design team collaborated closely with architects and engineers to address complex conditions and maximize greenery. They also consulted with residents to understand their needs and incorporate their ideas on designing the water feature. At the residents' request, the park is designed to be curbless and stepless, ensuring accessibility for all activities despite the presence of a water feature. This thoughtful design approach welcomes everyone and promotes inclusivity.
It acts as a catalyst, breathing life into the linear heart of the large community, creating much-needed and inclusive open spaces for residents and visitors. It transforms the purely residential area into a vibrant mixed-use space, fostering the growth of restaurants and retail businesses. Through precise modeling, careful adjustments, and rigorous construction oversight, the team successfully achieved both aesthetic fluidity and implementation accuracy.
Z’scape was founded in 2018 by Mr. Zhou Liangjun and Ms. Zhou Ting in Beijing. We always uphold and firmly believe in the core value of design, dedicated to practical exploration in the fields of landscape, art, and design from conceptual phase to project implementation. Pursuing the direction of modern naturalism and artistic landscape expression, we strive to convey reflections on the relationship between humans and nature through vibrant landscape works. With priority in the quality of design and execution over quantity, our completed projects span various domains, including urban public spaces, hospitality, campus, parks and gardens.Our design approach emphasizes the unique regional characteristics of each project and the refinement of design language; starting from the concept of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, we delve into landscape design that combines aesthetics, humanistic spirit, and ecological sustainability,
