Inspired by a recent trip to Japan, the clients felt drawn to the simplicity and therapeutic nature of the traditional Japanese zen gardens. With a minimalistic design stroke, the shady backyard was transformed with intentional hardscaping and simplistic natural elements. With a limited planting and material pallet, the space was designed with Japanese garden-inspired elements, focused on the functional recovery on contrast therapy.

This project is a balanced blend between the traditional zen garden and modern recovery therapy practices.

Contrast between hot and cold, natural and constructed.
