Logan Lcc

Logan LCC is a landscape design for a mixed-use site in Shenzhen, China. The project covers 87044 square meters and uses the altitude differences of the site to form a three-dimensional landscape space. Platforms are placed among the buildings, and the grounds include outdoor activity areas, a large swimming pool and a children's playground. A waterfall combines glass with hollow steel plates, so water flows along one side of the glass and light and movement appear through the openings. Planting in flowing shapes frames the space, and landscape installations are set in different corners.

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.
