MAY TOWER · TURTLE POND & WATERFALL RENEWAL

A Landscape Written in Water

In the quiet elevation of Mid‑levels, water becomes the storyteller.

At May Tower, the garden is not redesigned — it is re‑composed. Each surface, each stone, each movement of water is a line in a larger poem: a poem about stillness, about flow, about the way light touches metal and how sound softens against granite.

The Turtle Pond expands like a breath held and released. Its rounded form gathers energy; its copper edge draws a fine horizon between reflection and air. Broad leaves drift, gravels settle, and the water moves from South to North — a direction chosen not by trend, but by tradition, by the quiet logic of feng shui.

On the East side, the waterfall rises. A crafted height, measured by Luban Ruler, becomes a vertical stroke of intention. Water falls in three chapters: a wide sheet, a textured cascade, a mirrored pool. Each chapter slows the world, invites contemplation, and anchors the garden with a sculptural calm.

Together, pond and waterfall form a dialogue — between movement and stillness, between nature and artifact, between contemporary design and ancient principles.

This is MUD’s language: minimal, deliberate, quietly confident. A landscape not made to impress, but to endure. A sanctuary shaped by water, crafted for living.

《以水為語的景觀》

在半山的寧靜高度裡，水成為了說書者。

於梅苑，花園並非被重新設計——而是被重新譜寫。 每一道表面、每一塊石材、每一次水的移動，都是更大篇章中的一行詩句： 一首關於靜、關於流動、關於光如何掠過金屬邊緣、聲音如何在花崗岩上被柔化的詩。

龜池如同一口深呼吸般擴展、再緩緩吐出。 圓潤的形態聚攏能量；銅質邊沿在水面與空氣之間畫出一道極細的地平線。 大葉植物漂浮、礫石沉靜，水流由南向北——不是因為潮流，而是因為傳統、因為風水的靜默邏輯。

東側，瀑布升起。 以魯班尺測得的吉位高度，成為一筆垂直的意念。 水以三個章節落下： 寬闊的水幕、具紋理的中段鋸齒式跌水、最後匯入一池鏡面般的平靜。 每一層都放慢世界的節奏，邀請凝視，並以雕塑般的沉穩錨定整個花園。

龜池與瀑布共同構成一場對話—— 在流動與靜止之間， 在自然與人工之間， 在當代設計與古老原則之間。
