'Composition'
Designed by Christian Jenkins
Transporting visitors to a place of serenity, the garden’s grand entrance features a forest of traditional Japanese trees and shrubs that bathe the senses as two bodies of water bring calmness. A natural stone cobble pathway leads visitors through the garden.
A negative space of raked river sand and charcoal pebbles creates a sense of emptiness that is critical for one’s mind. The focal point of the garden is a large waterfall with a traditional Japanese rice paper wall as a backdrop. The outdoor room creates a place for contemplation and a chance to immerse oneself in nature. A small decking area nestled into the corner of the front lagoon creates an idyllic spot to just ‘be’.
