About Harmonious Forest Landscape
Harmonious Forest is a landscape design for a site of 5300 square meters in Taichung. The layout is based on three elements: axes, blank space and layers. Layers of greenery and simple geometric lines are interwoven to reflect the aesthetic of eastern brush painting and calligraphy. A welcoming trail is lined with Taiwan pines, camphor trees, Madagascar almonds and bald cypresses. Grass, a small bridge, a flowing stream, blooming trees and a pond at the gate form a rustic scene. Windows frame the garden like a painting that changes with the seasons.

- Operation Flow
- The green grass on the front yard, the small bridge and flowing stream, the blooming flowers and trees, and the calming pond at the gate that helps moderate the temperature all together constitute a rustic picture, just like a banquet of literati in ancient China. On the sides of the welcoming trail extending along the axis stand a row of Taiwan pines, camphor trees, madagascar almonds and bald cypresses, spreading their branches like a welcoming host.
- Research
- The design team applies a traditional Chinese garden design philosophy, by using the window as a frame, the view outstand becomes a painting of nature, and in different season comes a different view. The blank space lets the light and shadow have their moment and brings the greenery outside in. To live is to conformity with nature, and with a residence changes with time, the residents can live in comfort and ease.
- Inspiration
- The overall layout focuses on three elements: axes, blank space, and layers. The deliberately left blank small spaces connect and become a complete scenic recreation site.
