About Evergreen Landscape
Evergreen is a landscape design for a residential community. Clear geometric planes and layered light and shadow turn an irregular outdoor space into a garden with several levels and varied functions. Circular walk paths guide movement and link areas of different heights. The surrounding pools form a continuous water landscape and help lower nearby temperatures. Evergreen and drought tolerant plants reduce water use and maintenance. A roof garden with native ground cover plants and solar panels also provides a shaded resting area.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The design project combining the clear-cut geometric planes and delicate multi-layered lights and shadows converts the irregular outdoor space into an excellent landscaping space with multiple layers and diverse functions. Whenever the residents walking by the public artwork at the entrance, by the pools and by the walk paths can feel the expectation of the residential community and the warm welcome from home.

- Production Technology
- The solar panels are installed on the roof, where the space under the shade of the solar panels is a cozy resting area. The massive thin pool landscaping, on the roof, reduces the surrounding temperature. In the courtyard, the minimum number of facilities whose simple design and the public space whose multi functions reduce the impact of construction on the environment.
- Design Challenge
- The enlivening geometric lines figuratively consolidating the tranquil pools and trees create the delicate-layered public space adjoined by the pools and surrounded by the greenery landscapes. The roof garden with diverse plants, where is furnished with the massive landscaping pool, is a resident-friendly space as well.
- Operation Flow
- The roof garden which demonstrates the concept of sustainable energy is grown with the native insect-resistant plants in Taiwan. The ground cover plants which need less soil reduce the structure floor load and the amount of the concrete furnished on the roof, all of which effectively reduce the indoor temperature and the usage of air conditioning.
- Research
- The guidance of the traffic flows is the main solution to the restricted base, of which the circular walk paths function as the intermediate space between the spaces with different heights. The outer side of the surrounding pools artistically establishes the infinite water landscape.
- Inspiration
- The evergreen plants grown in the public space can reduce the maintenance and management costs. The drought-tolerant plants can thrive with little water, therefore reducing water usage. The pools accordantly corresponding to the surrounding fountain bring about the goal to protect natural environment and reduce the effect of an urban heat island.
