Japanese Garden Oostvoorne

Japanese Garden Oostvoorne
Design of a small city garden in a contemporary suburb. The garden measures 10 by 7 meters. By applying diagonal sight lines and light elevations in the borders and planting a spacious design has been created. The garden is connected to a lower terrace through a number of wooden steps.

The gravel areas are separated from the terrace by a so-called 'sokkou', consisting of a double row of granite curb stones combined with black pebbles in between. In addition to the cosmetic effect this sokkou also holds drainage to drain the excess water from the terrace at heavy rains.

By placing a bamboo fence in the shape of a 'moon gate' an exciting view is realized which also forms the frame for the red maple and rock composition in the corner of the garden.
