Marybyrnong project completed March 2015.
Design and plantscaping completed by Inspiring Landscape Solutions.

Project Brief:

draw on design principles associated with Japanese gardens. The owners have a fond association of Japanese culture and have made many trips to Japan;
keeping it simple and matching the interior of the house;
to be enjoyed from the rest of the groundfloor area;
the ‘green lung’ to the house;
to be able to sit within that space; and
the water feature must not be too noisy.

Project Loves:

application of unconventional design aesthetics where the decking cut out resembles a river flow;
one side of the decking is wide enough for a sitting area;
the dark natural slate used in the water feature shimmers with the cascading water; and
soothing water cascade sound effect when turned on.
