Wellness Features at Taikoo Square and Taikoo Garden
Wellness Features at Taikoo Square and Taikoo Garden
The newly completed Taikoo Square and Taikoo Garden showcase Swire Properties’ emphasis on biophilic design, and how we promote urban biodiversity and connect people with nature by offering community open green spaces. The two new gardens have more than 70,000 sq ft of green space – over 260 native and exotic plant species were hand-picked to enhance the ecological value for local wildlife and create a calm, tranquil green amenity for the public.
In addition to the lush greenery, water features and quiet pathways that augment urban connectivity, the gardens have drawn inspiration from the traditional Hong Kong feng shui woodlands which add to their cultural value. We prioritised accessibility, with QR codes throughout Taikoo Place’s green spaces providing visitors with detailed information on individual species and how they contribute to the ecosystem, while our new biodiversity website provides self-guided biodiversity and cultural tours of Taikoo Place for people to enjoy at their leisure.
