This project aims to design the outdoor space of a Michelin-rated roast duck restaurant located in the bustling Lujiazui commercial area in Shanghai Pudong district. Surrounded by towering buildings, the courtyard, situated in the atrium, offers customers aesthetic experiences while also serving as a promotional feature for the restaurant.
was mainly responsible for the detailing and supervision stages of the project, which included producing construction drawings, visiting stone processing factories, supervising the construction site, coordinating on-site issues, and conducting preliminary pruning of the plants.
Design Concept
The interior space of the restaurant is cleverly designed in the shape of the Chinese character " 回 ," which reflects the traditional "courtyard" structure. Our team collaborated with the interior design team to create various window scenes with distinct atmospheres, tailored to different functional areas such as open table seating, private dining rooms, corridors, and tea rooms.
The atrium is designed with a 360-degree view, where the sightline converges, drawing inspiration from the East Asian culture of "bonsai". The atrium itself can be seen as a large interactive bonsai, allowing guests to observe from a distance or fully immerse themselves in the experience, experiencing a modern interpretation of traditional Chinese gardens.
The controllable misty “pond" reduces the weight of the rooftop garden, and the combination of freeform cladding stone pavements and natural groves creates a multi-level space with a beautiful form.
Hard-paved areas in the project are designed using a distinctive freeform cladding technique. This method, inspired by traditional Japanese garden elements, is integrated into the final design with a modern twist, blending classic aesthetics with contemporary expression.

After understanding the client and his family's usage of the spaces, we will incorporate the customer's religious beliefs into the garden design.

The development process for Dinorwig and Llanberis valley, located in the northwest of Snowdonia National Park in the UK, is based on a Planning to Design approach. The site is designated as an 'opportunity area' due to its UNESCO heritage status, rich cultural and heritage remains, and its significance as a gateway to Snowdon peak for outdoor enthusiasts. The region is known for its slate quarries, and this project aims to revitalize the abandoned large-scale quarry through landscape design, integrating it with the local community and tourism circuit. The focal point of the project will be 'Nutshell' Park, leveraging the area's abundant natural and cultural resources to create an immersive travel experience that appeals to a diverse range of visitors.
