City garden #1

The key to this garden was finding a balance between the character of the contemporary architecture and the desire for a green, peaceful everyday space in the city.

The building’s clean lines continue through the garden structure — in stone edging, broad paths and clearly defined beds — while the planting deliberately softens this order.

Clipped forms give the garden an architectural rhythm, while hydrangeas, grasses and purple-flowering perennial accents introduce lightness, movement and seasonal change.

The result is a restrained but not sterile city garden, where architecture and plants complement one another to create an ordered, private space for life outdoors.
