This project, located in Jinan, Shandong Province, is situated in one of the city’s most vital economic and industrial zones. With Jinan's rapid urban development and rising income levels, the demand for upgraded consumer experiences has significantly increased. The project seeks to meet these needs while offering a unique cultural and architectural identity that harmonizes with the region's modern growth.

The design concept is deeply inspired by traditional Moroccan architecture, particularly the red-hued city of Marrakesh. The park’s layout creates an immersive experience, transporting visitors into the heart of ancient Arab civilization. Features like arched corridors, rose-colored walls, and lush gardens filled with olive and palm trees reflect the beauty and symmetry of Moroccan architectural traditions, creating a striking sense of exotic elegance that stands out within Jinan’s urban fabric.

The architecture is infused with Moorish design elements, notably intricate arches and geometric patterns, which draw from Marrakesh’s iconic structures. The color palette, inspired by the city's red hues, enhances the historical connection while modernizing the forms to suit contemporary needs. The exterior’s blend of Moroccan influence with modern design features ensures a fusion of aesthetics and function, offering a space that is both visually compelling and highly practical.

Key design highlights include a focus on ecological balance and sustainability. The landscaping integrates green spaces and sustainable practices, ensuring the project aligns with green building standards. The use of green roofs, permeable surfaces, and efficient water management contributes to the environmental goals of the park. Moreover, the design promotes a strong human connection to nature, offering public spaces that foster social interactions, while maintaining tranquil areas for personal reflection.

This project is a pioneering blend of cultural heritage and modern design, creating a dynamic environment that resonates with both the history of Morocco and the future aspirations of Jinan. It is an architectural landmark that elevates the city’s urban landscape while providing an enriching experience for residents and visitors alike.
