Project Description

This serene Japanese garden nestled between two buildings on campus. The tranquil courtyard is designed to offer a cozy social and rest area for both students and teachers.

The garden's curvilinear layout design ensures a seamless flow of movement throughout the space, inviting visitors to explore and relax. Various paving styles delineate distinct activity areas, each offering a unique ambiance. Along the edges of the garden beds, rock seats provide comfortable spots for socializing and resting. Shaded by trees and surrounded by lush plants, these seating areas are perfect for a quiet chat or a moment of solitude.

The planting design is a harmonious blend of Australian and Japanese characteristic tree species, enhancing the local identity while preserving the essence of a traditional Japanese garden. This thoughtful combination of elements creates a space that is both familiar and exotic, offering a peaceful retreat for all who visit.
