ABOUT THE
ART GARDEN

The Art Garden is a groundbreaking initiative designed to transform a refurbished public space into a sanctuary where art and nature intertwine to heal urban isolation and spark inspiration. Created through a collaboration between Henderson Land, Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA), Gillespies and international and local artists, this breathtaking extension echoes the fluidity and innovative language of the iconic building, The Henderson, which it adjoins.


More than a quiet retreat, it is a public artistic sanctuary blending art, innovation, and sustainability. Visitors can step into a lush, restorative environment, listen to soundscapes inspired by the natural world, and engage with art installations that explore sustainability—bringing a fresh perspective to urban living.

Welcome to the Art Garden at The Henderson, a true oasis in the city’s heart where art, technology and nature come together. This lively art and tech park was created to transform underutilized public space into something special. If the shape of the iconic Henderson building resembles a budding Bauhinia flower, then this garden acts as its vibrant green extension, reflecting the same fluid and sustainable design language crafted by Zaha Hadid Architects.

As you stroll along the garden paths, you’ll discover a variety of sculptures and installations by both international and local artists. Among these, you’ll find three new commissioned artworks that use technology to help us see and appreciate nature in fresh, unexpected ways.

We invite you to start your journey at The Breathing Tree, the centrepiece of the garden. From there, feel free to explore the rest of the artworks at your own pace. Enjoy your visit!

The Fractal Forest

STICKYLINE x Leanna Lee

The Fractal Forest is an outdoor installation art piece that pays tribute to nature, showcasing its inspiring power in the fields of mathematics and science. The piece draws inspiration from fractal geometry and the golden ratio, creating a tree-like structure that symbolises the growth of life, meticulously crafted from oak and stainless steel. The staggered LED light strips between the trunks illuminate intricate textures, weaving a captivating display of light and shadow. The installation is adorned with live plants and flowers, fostering biodiversity, attracting local butterflies, and enhancing community connections.

Listen closely. Do you hear the music coming from the western end of the Art Garden? As you walk closer, you’ll discover a grove of five tree-like sculptures, creating a unique forest environment. This installation, crafted by the Hong Kong creative team STICKYLINE x Leanna Lee, focuses on the simple yet powerful branch, symbolising growth and connection.

The sculptures are designed using the principles of fractal geometry and the golden ratio, which help to enlarge the branch in a way that echoes natural patterns. These mathematical ideas aren’t just theoretical – they are found throughout nature and are often used to create beautiful, balanced designs that reflect ecological systems.

As you explore the grove, you'll notice that the tallest of these five sculptures reaches an impressive height of around 6 meters.

By using the sustainable materials like wood and stainless steel, this artwork highlights the relationship between the natural world and human-made structures. To enhance our connection with nature even further, the artists have teamed up with local ecologists to include nectar plants in the area, with the aim of attracting more butterfly species. Butterflies play a crucial role as pollinators, and their presence is a sign of a healthy ecosystem, enriching the biodiversity of this urban garden.
