Surfland

Surfland is a resort and surf park located in Garopaba, in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The main attraction is an artificial wave pool that allows surfing throughout the year, for beginners and experienced surfers alike. The site covers 400,000 square meters, of which 233,000 square meters are kept as an environmental preservation area. Buildings occupy only open ground, so existing vegetation is not cut. Natural stone, wood, concrete, steel, sand and native plants are used. The landscape follows the fluid forms of water.

Mercury

Mercury is a hotel garden designed for the entrance area of a hotel on the coral coast of Kish Island, beside the Persian Gulf. The garden covers 1200 square meters. The forms are taken from the underwater world, in particular the corals and fish seen along the coast. Different lighting is applied on each side and angle to create contrast. At night, the illuminated coral garden recalls the bioluminescent coastal creatures of the Persian Gulf. The aim is to bring a sense of sea calm into the space of the hotel.

Pan'an Wetland

Pan'an Wetland is a wetland park created on a former coal mining subsidence area in Xuzhou, China. The design restores the damaged land instead of replacing it. Soil is rebuilt through methods such as stripping the cultivated layer and layered backfilling to recover fertility. Two rivers are linked to form a circulating water system that feeds the wetland and helps purify urban water. Native trees, shrubs and grasses support biodiversity. A zigzag plank road and a bird watching platform let visitors observe the water and land habitats.

Winnovation

Winnovation is a landscape design for a 1500 square meter site in Taichung, Taiwan. The layout is inspired by the aesthetics of eastern cultural gardens and follows an axis that balances the space. A belt shaped ecological pond runs from east to west, matching terrain that is high in the east and low in the west, and leads visitors to the entrance. Multilevel plantings surround the building and offer growing space for plants and insects. Large windows frame the greenery, and openings in the boundary wall share the garden view with neighbors.

Forest of Art

Forest of Art is a landscape design for a 2000 square meter site in Taichung, Taiwan, completed in October 2020. The site lies at the junction of three parks, on a downtown corner facing a walkway to a school. The building was turned 45 degrees to face the school on the diagonal side, leaving more room for planting. Planter boxes arranged in an arc surround a sky walkway that connects with arbours. Multi-layer planting at the entrance makes the street corner appear as a forest linked to the sky walkway.
