Paradise Garden
Sandton
Gauteng

|||||
This garden opens off of a dining room of an existing house. It starts with the same tiled floor of the room, partially roofed with a trellis. It turns to brick as it steps up , holding a stream which flows from a concrete bowl, through a pond and vanishes into a brick well. The vista is terminated by a wall framing a garden based on the jungle of Douanier Rousseau. The court is presided over at night by a perpetual full moon reflecting a spot-lamp which it holds at arms length.
