MEET Garden

A small green area inside SIPAI HQ in Shanghai

A small garden square within the SIPAI headquarters in Shanghai transforms an otherwise overlooked area into a space for reflection and connection. At its center, a tree is embraced by a large circular form, a universal symbol of unity, infinity, and the harmony of nature—from planetary orbits to tree rings. Four smaller circular flowerbeds surround the central element, providing seating and fostering social interaction. Inspired by the simplicity and elegance of the circle, the design creates a harmonious environment where people can meet, rest, and engage with both nature and one another, linking architecture, greenery, and human activity in a cohesive whole.
