Falling Leaves
This garden features the vertical and horizontal structural interest of Modernist design and references Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater as its inspiration.
The planting is part of the garden’s structure, creating a verdant, urban retreat. The garden has been designed to encourage visitors to look down and discover, and to look up and contemplate the beauty of the sky. Urban gardens are often overlooked by other buildings, so control of the space and a skyward focus are important aspects of the design. The planting scheme incorporates familiar and easy-to-source plants in new and innovative ways, showing how design can be used to revitalise the commonplace.
