ICCF GARDEN

Housed in a protected 1920s building that has witnessed the area’s cultural evolution, the store was restored through detailed research to recover its original character. Midway through renovation, the team uncovered and relaid the building’s original patterned floor tiles — allowing each brick to bridge past and future.

This 1990s annex was renovated with a light touch. Clean lines and tall arched windows echo the Paris George V flagship, while its restrained modern language contrasts respectfully with neighboring historic buildings — different yet harmonious.

Another century-old villa, once home to Captain J. T. Inch, now hosts French fashion house CARVEN and the SILEX restaurant. Windows, frames, and stairways were restored based on archival drawings, reviving the original structure and style while writing a new story for the space.

At the garden entrance where two streets meet, a near-contemporary building was converted into a café. Nestled amid the tranquil garden and laid-back Hengfu streetscape, it offers a welcoming first encounter for visitors.

Across some 2,000 square meters, maximum space was reserved for the open-air garden. Inspired by the flower fields of Southern France, it brings natural poetry into the urban fabric — a shared oasis of beauty.
