As a landmark project of the GALAXY Series in Chengtang Business District, Hexi District, Tianjin, it adheres to the design concept of "Roc Soaring Across Starry Skies · A Realm of Free Wander". Embodying the roc's unrestrained spirit wandering beneath the starry expanse, it creates a humanistic co-living community centered on self-fulfillment, fun cultivation, and growth. The philosophy of "boundless coexistence" from the ancient Chinese classic "Free and Easy Wandering" permeates the entire process of planning, architecture, landscape, and living scenario design.

In response to the irregular land conditions, the master plan achieves optimal land utilization while emphasizing a cohesive form (rejecting the disordered "plum-blossom pile" staggered layout). It adopts a bilaterally symmetric, courtyard-style configuration, endowing the project with high-end mansion DNA featuring an "all garden apartment residence" design. On the urban interface, the entire basement is elevated to create a "cultural floating island" isolated from hustle and bustle: the lower level houses an artistic club exhibition area, while the upper level offers a bright and comfortable homecoming route—representing a shift towards an upward lifestyle. This design not only grants the community a distinctive fashionable identity but also presents a vibrant interface to the city.

The Club draws inspiration from "Free and Easy Wandering",with the roc spreading its wings to embark on a humanistic journey of freedom.Starting from the hotel-style roundabout drop-off,visitors are greeted by an 11.4-meter-high streamlined wing-shaped gate brimming with tension and artistic charm. They then pass through a transition courtyard adorned with intangible cultural heritage handcrafted blue amber glazed glass, and leisurely step into a boundless social living room bathed in gilded sunlight.Via a sunken courtyard known as a "touchable plant textbook",they finally ascend to the light hall that evokes "soaring thousands of miles on the wind" to return home.With scenery changing at every step, the design cultivates a strong sense of ritual and ambiance for the homecoming experience.

In every detail of materials, structures, and scenarios,GLORY OF GALAXY embeds the design wisdom of boundless coexistence from "Free and Easy Wandering".Returning to the original intention of design, it crafts an ideal home of boundless coexistence.
