Over the past twenty years, Hua Xuehan has revitalized Chinese classical gardens, completing over 70 projects that integrate traditional concepts into modern urban landscapes.
Chinese classical gardens, cherished for their intricate water and rock landscapes, embody the principle of “originating from nature, yet transcending it.” These gardens emphasize harmony between humans and nature, creating spaces that reflect natural beauty while offering an idealized interpretation of the natural world.
Hua Xuehan adeptly incorporates the traditional concepts of mountain and water design into the urban setting. His work brings the essence of classical garden design into the heart of modern cities, providing tranquil retreats that connect people with the philosophical and aesthetic traditions of Chinese culture.
By blending ancient principles with contemporary settings, Hua’s gardens offer a unique experience that transcends time. His dedication over two decades has not only preserved the art of classical garden design but also adapted it to meet the needs of today’s urban environments.
