Blooming Haven is a therapeutic landscape designed to ease the psychological pressure faced by women in modern cities. Inspired by the form of a rose, symbolizing femininity and resilience, the park uses undulating topography, healing gardens, and immersive spatial sequences to create a sense of embrace and calm. Through thoughtful terrain design, light analysis, and plant selection, it offers diverse experiences for women of all ages to relax, heal, and reconnect with nature.
