Elemental composition
Perry Residence
The design for this garden aims to provide a smooth transition between the architecture and the built landscape. Black concrete walls, strips of stainless steel, and bands of planting material slide past one another, creating a maze like space. Aerially, the landscape is linear and highly graphic, but upon entering the garden, the design unfolds, encouraging thoughtful movement and quiet contemplation. .
The polished tops of the walls and stainless steel capture reflections of the sky by day and of the house by night, when blue led lights add visual dynamism.
