Scholar's Garden
As these clients are practiced bonsai keepers, this small courtyard brought new meaning to an underused space.
A place of calm reflection and introspection, the gravel carpet is a canvas for shadows throughout the day, and the small collection of plants showcases the changing of the seasons.
Doors of the bonsai house slide back and workbenches slide out to provide maximum natural light and efficient use of space.
The bonsai house was designed and constructed by local master carpenter, Jim Hughes.
A courtyard fountain interpreting a traditional Japanese design brings motion and soft sound to this quiet refuge.
