Landscape Design for Shaoxing Hotel

Landscape Design for Shaoxing

Shaoxing Hotel Landscape is a garden design created for a hotel at the foot of Fushan Mountain in Shaoxing, China. The design follows the concept of green mountains and clear water, and connects the site with the local culture and the surrounding scenery. The landscape unfolds around three courtyards, named Qingbai, Ningcui and Tingyu, which express the themes of mountain, water and rain. Water, stones and bonsai form a scene like a three-dimensional scroll painting in front of the lobby. Existing trees are kept, and framed views link the courtyards with the distant mountain.

City on the Loop Mixed use

City on the Loop

City on the Loop reimagines a flood prone coastline in Brooklyn as a continuous urban edge that adapts to rising sea levels. Built over existing infrastructure, the design introduces elevated housing, light rail, and flood resilient public programs in three phases. A land sea gradient replaces hard boundaries, enabling architecture, ecology, and community life to interact. The loop acts as both a spatial structure and an adaptive system, evolving with environmental shifts and offering a framework for future intelligent, climate-responsive governance.

Hill Mansion Landscape Design

Hill Mansion

Hill Mansion is a landscape design completed in 2021 in Nanjing, China. The site lies close to the waterfront of the Yangtze River, so the surrounding scenery is borrowed as part of the composition. Planting forms an undulating skyline that blends with the natural environment. Red maple trees, well known in the Qixia District, shape the main theme. At the entrance, a curved concrete wall represents wind moving between valleys, forests and water. A central pool at the lowest point of the site collects and purifies rainwater.
