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.

As you wander through the Art Garden at The Henderson, you'll encounter playful green islands that mirror the curvatures of the Henderson building. These intriguing shapes are actually topiary sculptures crafted by British artist Darren Lerigo, who has dedicated over a decade to transforming garden landscapes into living art.

Lerigo describes his work as “green architecture”, viewing plants as vibrant mediums for artistic expression. When he starts pruning a garden, he often asks himself, “What shapes do these plants want to take?” This process involves a dialogue not just with the individual plants, but also with the surrounding landscape.

Lerigo’s topiary journey began in the scenic gardens of the English countryside, where he continues to breathe new life into historical designs. This piece marks his first public artwork in Hong Kong, created in collaboration with landscape architecture studio Gillespies. Together, they’ve pioneered a fresh approach to urban public gardens. Instead of letting plants fade into the background, Lerigo gives them distinct characters and personalities, boldly shaping them into fluid, living sculptures.
