The design is not intended to be anything but a completely modern
expression of the honest use of natural materials - wood, glass, copper and stone
and it sits easily in the landscape, content to be just that. If it were smaller
with a less prominent roof pitch, it would be lost in the landscape and unable to
provide the sufficient focal anchor that it does.
The landscape designer skillfully integrated this custom designed,
freestanding greenhouse into the landscape by artistically incorporating a stone
garden wall into the room itself. On the inside, orchids will inhabit the cracks
and crevices between the stones and find their way up the walls.
Outside the room, the well-mannered stone coursing erupts into a
violently charged stack of muscled blocks and at the flip of a switch, it transforms
itself into an artistic waterfall filling the adjacent Koi pond. |
