• About Firm
  Founded in 2006, LAURENT is a Shanghai-based landscape design company. We hold a Certificate for Landscape Engineering Design and have a R&D center in Shanghai and a professional team of more than 100 designers. Moreover, we provide integrated design services including landscape planning design, ecological technology consultation and R&D of landscape products and have long-term strategic partnership with well-known domestic developers.

The project is sited in Wuzhong District, close to Suzhou Bay, waterfront of Lake Tai.
The square at the entrance boasts paving materials with wave-like patterns, water feature, ribbon-like terrain and large wave-like grilles, etc., all forming shimmering lake views as the breeze rises. Smooth and delicate curved roads extend forward in the large-scale sloped lawn, which look like waves in Lake Tai, leading visitors to move ahead. A sunken leisure space is set at the bottom right, decorated with light belts, hence creating visual effects of moving boats as if visitors have a journey by ship.
