Harmonious Forest Landscape

Harmonious Forest

Harmonious Forest is a landscape design for a site of 5300 square meters in Taichung. The layout is based on three elements: axes, blank space and layers. Layers of greenery and simple geometric lines are interwoven to reflect the aesthetic of eastern brush painting and calligraphy. A welcoming trail is lined with Taiwan pines, camphor trees, Madagascar almonds and bald cypresses. Grass, a small bridge, a flowing stream, blooming trees and a pond at the gate form a rustic scene. Windows frame the garden like a painting that changes with the seasons.

The project was completed in December 2019.

Wide open space, repeated planting layers and pools help adjust the microclimate and reduce the need for indoor lighting. The design brings a village-like humanistic setting into the community.

Xanadu Landscape

Xanadu

Xanadu is a landscape design for a residential community. The plan uses a small site to create a green setting within a busy city. A large green area is kept alongside the buildings, and two entrances connect to a narrow road on the southeast side. A wide sidewalk is planted with varied trees and fitted with furniture suited to the local character. A green hill, a water feature and cloud-like slate stones frame the entrance porch. A hidden fountain jets water at irregular times and cools the air. Recycled water and permeable methods reduce the urban heat island effect.
