Forest of Art Landscapes

Hsu Fu Chu Landscapes Landscape Design

Forest of Art

Forest of Art is a landscape design for a 2000 square meter site in Taichung, Taiwan, completed in October 2020. The site lies at the junction of three parks, on a downtown corner facing a walkway to a school. The building was turned 45 degrees to face the school on the diagonal side, leaving more room for planting. Planter boxes arranged in an arc surround a sky walkway that connects with arbours. Multi-layer planting at the entrance makes the street corner appear as a forest linked to the sky walkway.

Winnovation

Winnovation is a landscape design for a 1500 square meter site in Taichung, Taiwan. The layout is inspired by the aesthetics of eastern cultural gardens and follows an axis that balances the space. A belt shaped ecological pond runs from east to west, matching terrain that is high in the east and low in the west, and leads visitors to the entrance. Multilevel plantings surround the building and offer growing space for plants and insects. Large windows frame the greenery, and openings in the boundary wall share the garden view with neighbors.

Teal Sea

Teal Sea is a landscape design for a residential development in Taichung, Taiwan. The site covers 4200 square meters and faces Wen-Xin Forest Park. The building volumes were reduced so that 60 percent of the land could be released as open space next to the park green area. Flowing water, layered planting, old trees and a small bridge guide the view and the walking route. A public artwork made of multi-faceted diamond-shaped metal marks the street corner square. The project was completed in December 2019.

Next 1

Next 1 is a residential landscape design covering 2300 square meters in Taichung, Taiwan. The layout follows geometric lines and layered planting that create overlapping levels of depth. Curved paths guide movement along the street and soften the walking space. Multi-layer planting changes with the four seasons, and simple seats are placed in the open areas. Wide open space, repeated planting layers and pools help adjust the microclimate and reduce the need for indoor lighting. The design brings a village-like humanistic setting into the community.
