Landscape Middle East - November 2023

इस अंक में

In this issue, Dubai-based NGS architects share their experience of remodeling a beautiful family home in Golf Grove villa, located in the exclusive Dubai Hills Estate enclave. Arborist, Mark Laurence explains how landscapers can generate healthy soils and promote regrowth by adopting the practice of Coppicing — a form of landscape management that simply put, utilises woody trees (wood chips) and shrubs to form a mulch that covers the soil. We review a residential project in one of the busiest and most densely populated urban cities in the world; Life Ladprao: The Valley is located in Bangkok’s CBD district and its designers have used Biophilic design principles to create the project's main landscape concept—a natural valley that promises an adventurous experience. From one bustling metropolis to another, we feature The Spiral building in Manhattan, New York. Self-named as the world’s best tall building, in part due to the fact a landscape of The Spiral’s size has never been installed at or above 300 feet elevation in New York City before. With approximately 13,000 square feet of outdoor space, the building has cascading landscaped terraces and hanging gardens that climb the tower in a spiraling motion to create a unique, continuous green ribbon that wraps around its façade, suppling each office floor with readily accessible terrace space. Be sure to keep reading to hear more about some of the best projects coming out of India, China and Thailand.
