TROP:Terrains+Open Space: The Times Garden is located by the Qiantang River, which appears to be an artistic space based on minimalist architecture and a painting-like landscape. Each exterior space is created as a coordinating sequential network to make the visiting experience feel visually interconnected with surrounding interiors.

When thinking about Hangzhou, the Qiantang River, the West Lake, Longjing tea and Xixi Wetland Park are the most recognized features in the world. As the landscape architect wants to give the project a unique character, the design found its muse from Qiantang River and the West Lake. To respond to the neat architecture form, the landscape design uses mainly square patterns and layout to represent the local features. As soon as stepping into the park, the creek streams with the tea garden aroma, composing the overture.
