The Gardens combines retail, residential, dining, cultural spaces, and landscapes within a sleek urban hub. Inspired by Foshan's lantern crafts and natural surroundings, its architecture features modern forms with lantern-like facades. Iconic "lantern" structures create visual landmarks, while staggered apartment towers maximize daylight and connect visually to the landscape below.
The podium’s soft, flowing shapes evoke nature, with landscaped rooftops hosting cafes, venues, and parks. Tree-shaded promenades and interactive water features enlightened the public space, while light installations and projections animate the scene at night.
The Gardens blends architecture and landscape to create a dynamic, interactive destination.
