Foshan Poly Tianyue

Poly Tianyue in Foshan sits at Exit A of Qiandeng Lake Metro Station in Nanhai District, directly beside a major bus interchange and within an established central-city commercial and office ring. Facing such a heavily used urban site, the designers asked how to recover the site's existing memory while linking the city and the community. The project treats the site as a necessary passage point for citizens; rather than imposing a new landscape, the team retained existing mature trees, added staggered tree pits following the terrain, and combined them with planters to enrich planting layers and create shaded, quiet resting spaces. Benches, stepped seating and planting beds break down the site's original rigid boundaries, offering flexible public space that encourages social encounter. Because the site fronts both a bus stop and a metro entrance, the design provides varied resting, waiting and gathering zones using the slope of the land to extend views and increase capacity. The stepped terrain and linear vocabulary form a parallel, calming landscape composition. The apartment pedestrian entrance passes through the park as a sequential homecoming axis formed by grass, hedges and trees, defining the site relative to its surroundings so that community and park are both independent and open. On the lawn stands a time-themed installation using light, sound and motion effects that transform across the twenty-four hours of the day; twenty-four blocks of wave-white stone are carved into rounded forms to evoke the quiet passage of time. Details such as entrance column lights, dog-tie benches, a twelve-hour sculpture and irregular planting beds complete the project. The landscape area is 4,990 square meters.
