Asian Inspired Place of Respite
About This Project
The desire for this garden renovation was to remove a thatch lawn and vegetable garden and make a place of respite.Goals
Create a space that had visual interest deep into the garden with several views from within the garden.
Challenges
The garden is bordered by a guest cottage, tool shed, neighbor garage and the two-story residence; basically a box.
There were several pieces of existing garden art to be worked into the plan, including a large Buddha and a steel kinetic piece. The design had to draw the eye out and give opportunity to see different views from all sides.
