Natural Flow

Natural Flow is a landscape design for a residential community. The layout follows a modern minimal geometric style, in which horizontal and vertical lines define separate spaces. A geometric water feature, walls set along the buildings, and framed groups of plants mark the entrance. Circulation routes are arranged in stages, so outdoor and indoor movement remain distinct. Ramps and staircases connect the public spaces on several floors. A sunken garden brings sunlight and fresh air to the lower level, and tall zelkova trees are reflected in the still water.

A sculpture of a resting horse stands on the lawn at the centre. On the southwest side, a pool shaped like a jade belt is surrounded by varied planting and helps to moderate the local climate.

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.
