The Gardens

Mixed-use district

Rooted deeply in the context of Foshan, a fascinating city just north of Hong Kong, The Gardens celebrates the abundant natural resources and the rich culture of its location. This mixed-use project - which weaves together residential towers, serviced apartments, office, hotel and retail - is a fresh take on Foshan's history of artisan craft, amidst a verdant landscape of social and community experiences.

lantern rendering

The architectural character of the buildings is inspired by the lantern crafts so highly revered in Foshan. Architectural "lanterns"—vessels of light and form—are distinctive destinations marking the heart of the complex. Visually dramatic yet pedestrian in scale, these iconic destination spaces complement the surrounding podium which emphasizes a transparent retail experience. 

Water features activate the public domain, with visitors of all ages delighting in digitally-controlled water shows.
The new urban town center promotes interaction between retail, leisure, entertainment, dining, and living.
