The Forum

Hong Kong / PRC

The Forum is located on one of Hong Kong’s prime public spaces in the heart of the Central Business District.

Working alongside architects, the landscape scheme creates a new vibrant and bustling plaza, that is enjoyed by office workers and visitors alike.

Great emphasis has been placed on the planning of the public realm, integration of artwork and detailing of the hardscape and associated water features, involving extensive use of natural stone.
