As this garden continues to settle, our focus has remained on the intentional “softening” of the site.
We’ve looked for every opportunity to trade conventional materials for organic, living solutions that allow the landscape to breathe and thrive over time. Instead of heavy paving, we opted for bark-mulched and laterite paths, significantly reducing hard surfacing. These organic walkways do more than simply guide movement; they create rich, permeable surfaces where essential soil microorganisms can flourish beneath the ground.
Rather than relying on tar or concrete, the driveways were constructed using grass blocks and daisy lawn, allowing rainwater to infiltrate naturally back into the water table.
To extend the greenery vertically, we introduced architectural steel cables and climbing plants, encouraging nature to reclaim the vertical plane. This “vertical vitality” softens and cools the built form, drawing the garden upward and weaving the landscape into the architecture itself.
