Timscape Indoor Landscape

Timscape

This project creates a near zero energy smart vertical garden for Tims Cafe in the underground first floor of Beijing's Jewelry Mall. Reinterpreting classical Chinese garden philosophy with a green core and walkable rainforest landscapes, it integrates intelligent irrigation, full spectrum LED grow lights and rooftop photovoltaics for energy self sufficiency and closed loop water recycling. The 236 square meter space combines ecological materials, therapeutic planting and digital operations, building a sustainable commercial interior landscape model reconnecting urban dwellers with nature.

Timscape Indoor Landscape by Xinpeng Liu was featured as an exceptional example of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Timscape Indoor Landscape earned the Bronze A' Design Award in Landscape Planning and Garden Design in 2026. The A' Landscape Planning and Garden Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design accolade which honors superior design of landscape designs, public parks, residential gardens, urban plazas, campus designs, green roofs, waterfront developments, Eco-Parks, botanical gardens and more.
