Jing An Kerry Centre
SWA provided the concept design for this six-
hectare mixed-used development—which includes
commercial, retail, and hotel space—adjacent to
Jing An Park. At the project core is a main plaza that
incorporates stone, water, evergreen shrubs, gravel,
and lawn panels that f loat freely within the overall
f ramework grid. This area includes an outdoor
event space, shaded seating areas, dining venues,
and garden sculptures. Both the garden and plaza
are visually connected to the main fountain, which
cools the plaza during warm summer months and
minimizes the sounds from busy adjacent streets. A
series of tree bosques highlight the retail spaces along
the northern edge of the project and create a distinct
garden for shoppers and pedestrians. Low seat walls
are functional sculptural elements that further enhance
the pedestrian experience.
