ResidentialModern Garden with a Traditional Twist

July 25, 2024

What once was a concrete driveway is now a newly designed garden for a retired couple. A serene oasis that beautifully combines modern aesthetics with natural elements. A path of red brick pavers meanders through the garden, providing a warm and rustic charm. The self-binding gravel areas create a seamless and stable walking surface, complementing the earthy tones of the bricks.

At the heart of the garden is a thermo-treated pine bench, offering a comfortable and durable seating area. This bench, with its smooth finish and rich color, invites the couple to sit and savor the tranquility of their surroundings.

Adding a touch of unique artistry, a Shou Sugi Ban wooden planting feature stands as a focal point. The charred wood, treated through the traditional Japanese technique, provides a striking contrast with its deep black hue and textured surface. It houses a variety of plants, enhancing the garden’s natural beauty and fostering a closer connection with nature.

This thoughtfully crafted garden serves as a perfect retreat for the couple, allowing them to relax, unwind, and enjoy the peace and beauty of their outdoor haven.
