Breath of Fresh Air unfolds as a dialogue between structure and landscape. The central design ethos of the garden involves an integration of abundant greenery. Simultaneously, architectural structures are conceived as unobtrusive sculptural arches. These arches, conceived with lightweight materials and permeable forms, maintain a harmonious dialogue with the surrounding environment. They function as both design elements and symbolic gateways, facilitating the interaction between vegetation and structure.
As a show garden, it offered us the rare freedom to push our creative boundaries and explore planting in ways a typical residential commission might not allow. This became a laboratory for form, texture, and seasonal layering, an opportunity to experiment with bold combinations, sculptural plantings, and immersive greenery that guide the eye and invite lingering. Planting was not merely decorative; it became a tool for storytelling, shaping spaces that are visually striking, experientially rich, and intimately connected to the surrounding environment.
More than ornament, the design gestures toward an urban imperative: even the smallest plot can host a living, breathing ecosystem. Here, form and foliage coexist, offering a measured balance between human presence and natural abundance, and a vision for cities where gardens are integral, not incidental.
