'The H Garden' project began with a consideration of the desires of the residents in a large-scale housing complex consisting of 6,700 units who sought to have their own gardens. Nowadays, when there are few opportunities to have a private garden, interest in gardening is increasing. In this trend, it is meaningful to plan and implement landscaping spaces in large residential complexes in conjunction with gardening. To increase the concentration of activities in the garden, we placed that on the walls of the building and on the stairs.
And we focused on the human scale that can be seen and felt at the human eye level and range of activity. It's contrary to the skyline of tall buildings and trees. This small garden is divided into two paths: 'curve' and 'straight'. The straight path leads to small flower stairs and water spaces. In the process, we can go deep into the garden along a curved path or into a household entrance. Stone walls, trees, and tall grass serve as the framework of the garden for the continuity of the path. Various shrubs, herbs and zippy plants block other paths, and successively implemented small hills to make one new space feel wider and cosier.
Plant symbiosis can realize the change of seasons on a human scale level. And the elements that you can sit for a while and rest or think about are the devices that we want the garden to permeate into your daily life. Learning is necessary to sustain interest and understanding of the garden in urban life, so this garden also serves as a school. The moment everyone accepts the coexistence of 'seasonal change', 'flowers and fruits', and 'grass bugs', the garden will be our life.
