An 80 word presentation of the team:
LOSFEE established the architecture firm in 1983. In 2007 we
started the firm as proponents of a new wave of environmentally
focused architecture, landscape architecture and product designs
which are frmamed within modernist design approach.
Drawing on the diverse inhouse team with expertise in
architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, horticulture
and
urban ecology we cross traditional design boundaries. Our
designers engage the clients and the new technologies we
embrace
to solve complex urban and environmental issues.
Our Answer to the questions: In what way, in your view, will
your project contribute to the renewal of the art of the
garden?
We use our original design of fabric canopy called "Fractal
Shade" to give the contrast to the nature forest on site. The
design
will contribute to renew the sence of nature. Tree and Fractal
shade give the soft light for visitors and understory plants. In
the
cross point of the two forest, people feel the energy of the
life; water and sunlight dramatically. In the shade or full sun
space ,
you must find your own secret space.
