Timscape
This project creates a near zero energy smart vertical garden for Tims Cafe in the underground first floor of Beijing's Jewelry Mall. Reinterpreting classical Chinese garden philosophy with a green core and walkable rainforest landscapes, it integrates intelligent irrigation, full spectrum LED grow lights and rooftop photovoltaics for energy self sufficiency and closed loop water recycling. The 236 square meter space combines ecological materials, therapeutic planting and digital operations, building a sustainable commercial interior landscape model reconnecting urban dwellers with nature.
