The garden office area scheme shows the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, and cooperates with the“gold inlaid jade”planning model around the Xixi wetland. This design will take“Ruyi Garden”as the design concept. The pattern of the garden surrounding the office is green and organic, the form of the bionic curve comes from nature and blends into nature, and the smooth curve echoes Yuruyi. The mode of working in nature is refreshing, easy to inspire and improve work efficiency.
“We envision a Ruyi Garden that offers a natural outlook for workplaces”
WORKING IN NATURE
The future model of office space is one that is surrounded by gardens and integrated within them. The success of Singapore as a Garden City provides a strong precedent for this approach. A lush, green working environment benefits both physical and mental health, while also making an important contribution to environmental protection. The vision is that “every office worker can immerse themselves in nature, drawing inspiration from the breath of trees and nourishment from the distant views of mountains and waters.”
A CORRIDOR
FOR NATURE
The project features a north–south landscape corridor linking the historic district to the Xixi Wetland, while western water systems and greenery create a blue–green park setting. Along these landscape axes, building clusters emerge naturally, fostering an environment where architecture is seamlessly embraced by nature.
A NEW PERSPECTIVE
To bring natural landscapes into the office experience, the design restructures a north–south landscape corridor through the site. Outdoor plazas and gardens surround the workplaces, creating a vibrant public realm where people can relax and unwind. As the designers describe it, “this is a place for continuously opening new perspectives and discovering new beauty.”
