The Design

About Natural Flow Landscape

Natural Flow is a landscape design for a residential community. The layout follows a modern minimal geometric style, in which horizontal and vertical lines define separate spaces. A geometric water feature, walls set along the buildings, and framed groups of plants mark the entrance. Circulation routes are arranged in stages, so outdoor and indoor movement remain distinct. Ramps and staircases connect the public spaces on several floors. A sunken garden brings sunlight and fresh air to the lower level, and tall zelkova trees are reflected in the still water.
