THAILAND ESCAPE Four words capture this tiny garden: Romantic, tranquil, exotic and artistic. This garden was co-designed for the Cleveland Botanical Garden 2005 competitive Flower Show.
LESHEBA WILDERNESS The gardens and internal spaces are designed to integrate aesthetically and functionally with the rustic architecture and the surrounding bushveld habitat. The Colours and textures seen in the thatch huts and mud walls are echoed in the stone work hewn from the mountainside.
GARRISON The brief for this garden was to design a functional outdoor living space that would add dimension to the flat architectural plane of the rear façade. An elegant pergola creates a secluded cover to view the garden.A naturalistic pond was designed and installed to provide the sound of water and alter the flat level of the surrounding space.
MONTESSORI MEDITATION This garden was requested by a private Montessori school in Hudson, Ohio. It had to conform to a restricted space between the old school building and the new architectural extension.
