Ronghui International Hotspring City Shangzhu Model Area

The Shangzu Model Area garden spans a height of seven meters from entrance to model apartments. The overall concept for the site was to create various spaces  that clearly differentiates the flat areas where buildings stand from the slopes that connect them. To do this, landscape elements were modularized and condensed like the electronic circuits on a microchip.

The geometric arrangement of three simple elements - path, cascading waterway, and patterned plantings - comprise the model area. Despite the design’s apparent simplicity, however, the undulating patterns unfold with unexpected drama when viewed from high above.
