Design Solution
By emphasizing and integrating the landscape design the team created a seamless connection between the plots with folding, twisting pathways dubbed "The Infinite Dragon." Dragons are synonymous with water, which punctuated the paths with a series of garden landmarks celebrating the infinite cycle of water. The towers drew on the faceted landscape with subtle folds disguising a deceptively simple glazing pattern.
