Throughout history, gardens have been the setting for discussion and decision-making. The APCO Garden celebrates this role with an outdoor space designed for contemplation and communication. Inspired by the villas of the Italian Renaissance, the garden provides an intimate setting for the development and exchange of ideas.

The boundaries of recycled Italian stonework and evergreen hedging create a quiet meeting place. The different uses of water serve as metaphors for contemplation and conversational flow. The raised planting enhances the overall sense of seclusion, and corner seating provides a place to relax and converse.
