David Domoney was inspired to create this garden by the recent resurgence of interest in Leonardo da Vinci. References to da Vinci’s paintings and the Louvre museum in Paris, where the Mona Lisa is held, are included in this design.
The famous glass pyramid at the Louvre is adapted here as a central feature, standing on marble tiles to represent the Louvre’s flooring. The surrounding planting includes plants that have been used by Leonardo da Vinci to illustrate his sketches, codes and masterpieces.
Artworks on each corner depict the paintings of Leonardo da Vinci, while the central feature consists of one upside down pyramid on top of another to form a central intersection.
