Gemdale Royal Palace

Gemdale Bocui Pavilion in Shanghai's Jinshan District is a 6,344-square-meter demonstration landscape that draws its lifestyle language from French Romanticism and, more specifically, from Claude Monet's Giverny garden, where the painter lived for forty-three years. The design team at Shanghai Wubei Landscape, led by Tian Zheng and Mark, treats Monet's garden as a symbol of home and translates its seasonal color into a living, growing landscape. Several of Monet's paintings are used as spatial sources, extracting scenes and elements to build an impressionist light-chasing estate. The palette is deliberately painterly, with layered planting beds that change through the year, and the project is positioned as a living landscape rather than a static picture. A 3D-printed lattice tower by Shanghai Daje Robotics is used for intelligent construction, while specialist contractors handle the planting beds and children's play equipment, and photography is by Guangli Studio. Located at the intersection of Longhang Road and Mengshan North Road, the project was designed in November 2019 and completed in June 2020. The result is a residential front garden in which French impressionist atmosphere, seasonal planting and contemporary construction come together to give the sales display a poetic, paint-like quality that extends the lifestyle brand of the development.
