The landscape design of this 200-bed hospital, specialist paediatric hospital, is based on the concept and principles of therapeutic landscape design. Therapeutic landscapes are purposely designed to allow patients and visitors of all abilities (disabled, abled, young, and old) to interact with nature. Science has proven that exposure to natural greenery and natural light aid in patient recovery.

Water is the leading design element which links the two gardens of Yueyuan Courtyard together. In the creek garden, the concept of “erosion” inspired the design team to create a creek water feature. The water feature craved out from large granite stone artfully demonstrates the natural process how river goes through land surface for hundreds of years and transforms the land into river valley.
Poised against the dramatic geology and hilled environment of the Namibian plateau, the gardens of the Marula Game Ranch residence overlook (and find their root in) the meandering bends of the Schaap River that skirts its edge. Rather than cover an already beautiful hill with endless lush and “exotic” gardens, a more restrained approach was applied when considering the design.
Located in the Cradle of Humankind (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), this Maropeng Stone Garden is an extension to the existing museum complex and includes an outdoor exhibition space, amphitheatre and picnic facilities. The design was informed by the theme of human impact and aims to challenge typical museum mechanisms of explanation.

Structures, landform, water features, and building materials were carefully designed and crafted. The introduction of plants and trees adds to the sense of outdoor space as ‘outdoor living rooms’ and enhances private gardens. Yongtai Garden is a 2.5-acre triangular suburban lot in the midst of a gated community of single families in Shanghai, China.
As an active exploration of an ideal urban community park, Jiadu Central Park starts from four aspects: building community culture, meeting daily needs, carrying out ecological environment education and providing healthy environment for the next generation. All kinds of in-depth thinking are fully reflected in every design detail of the park, aiming to create a community park with complete functions, distinctive features and certain era significance.
Z+T Studio design team positioned this site as a children’s playground with the purpose of edutainment, an open-air water experience pavilion, which is inspired by various forms and features of water to design landscape spaces and nodes, so that people better understand the importance of water to life and reshape the relationship between human and water.
‘Interlace’ by Carve, a playground that seamlessly fits in its surroundings. Four large containers are stacked on top of each other, each one rotated just like the residential backdrop. Inside the containers, various crawling, climbing and sliding elements create a maze-like structure with a variety of adventurous routes. Photo: Tuckys Photography
