泰国中华总商会大厦（Thai CC）位于曼谷中央商务区，俯瞰着一片高楼大厦包围的景观区域。现存的一座建筑和车行通道把绿地分为两部分。

Located within the Central Business District of Bangkok, the Thai Chinese Camber (Thai CC) Tower overlooks a parcel of green area which is prominently divided into two by the Blue Elephant Cooking School & Restaurant, a heritage building, and vehicular access.

通过研究周围环境，团队发现场地和中国古代“四合院”有一定的相似之处。传统的四合院是两侧房屋围合着一座中央庭院，而项目所在的景观区域则是被高楼和Surasak 轻轨站包围。

By studying the surroundings and space available, a certain similarity is shared with the site and the ancient Chinese communal architecture of “Siheyuan”. The traditional quadrangle compound houses a central courtyard which are surrounded by houses on each side, akin to how the landscape area is flanked by towering buildings and the Surasak skytrain station on all four sides.

迎宾庭院面向主交通道，象征着四合院的前花园、迎接贵宾入进、通往主庭院。

The Welcoming Courtyard, facing the main road, symbolizes the front garden, a welcoming entrance, a gateway leading to the heritage building and the Main Courtyard which extends further out as you traverse towards Thai CC Tower. 

如同中国文化中的“四合院”是起到聚集居民的作用一般，设计师也同样将花园设想为一个青翠的焦点，让附近工作或生活的人共同享用这片景色，成为人们的视觉的休养地。

As a shared space, the courtyard is a communal area, where the residents of “Siheyuan” gather and socialize. Likewise, we envision the gardens to be a verdant focal point, providing a positive stimulation to the mind by functioning as a visual retreat for those work or live nearby and commuters aboard the skytrain.

在空间规划方面，设计师向中国文化致敬，风水在设计中成为重要的考虑元素。在中国的风水学中，水景是必不可少的，然而，由于公共空间的一些限制，团队最终采用景观设计的方式来象征水的形式。

Paying homage to Chinese culture, in line with the space planning, Feng Shui plays a vital role in the design approach. Water is often seen as indispensable in Feng Shui ideology especially for areas in the front of house, however, due to limitations of having water features in public spaces, a non-literal manifestation of water is required. 

设计师思考水如何作为一种媒介，促进并最终塑造景观艺术。最终，项目将庭院构想成水，而泰国中华总商会大厦则是一座山，大厦作为背景。硬景和软景和谐地构成，创造了一幅中国山水画。

We pondered on how water can act as a medium, facilitating and ultimately shaping the art of the landscape. With a harmonious composition of hardscape and softscape resembling a Chinese scenery painting, the courtyard is set against the Thai CC Tower as a mountainous backdrop.

通过简约的设计方法，水的形状被象征为平静水面上的雨滴。由整齐的灌木、树木组成的圆形波纹似乎在整个花园中流动。夜幕降临时，隐藏在各处的灯光散发出柔和的光芒，凸显了精心布置的景观石和雄伟的树木。

Through a minimalistic design approach, the shape of water was symbolized as raindrops on the surface of calm waters. Circular ripples consisting of manicured shrubs, sculptural trees, and concrete kerbs can be flowing throughout the garden. As night falls, lighting strips concealed within the kerbs exudes a soft glow to emphasize the carefully placed Feng Shui stones as magnificent trees basks in strategically positioned uplighting.
