Designed by UNStudio, The Fairyland Guorui Villa complex is located in the Miyun Economic & Technical Development Zone 1 in Beijing. The site is situated on a plot where two rivers converge, surrounded by natural scenery and mountain views. In order to take full advantage of the location, the layout of the villas follows an open plan organisation.

The public spaces within and adjacent to the complex follow the design philosophy set out in the masterplan and respond to the context of the site in the waterside location. This includes a riverside boulevard and a tree-lined boulevard as well as a grand central garden. The garden landscaping of the whole development corresponds to the surrounding natural environment. To support this pedestrian-friendly outdoor quality for the residents, the vehicular traffic has been kept to a minimum and cars are confined to a central parking location. Render
Essential to the design approach for the Fairyland Guorui villa development is the combination of individuality with a distinct quality of the community. As a result, a mix of consistency and singular identity defines the scheme.

Like sculptures, the individual villas line the mix of orderly pathways and free-form structures oriented towards different views of the surrounding natural landscape.
