Mesmerizing Japanese Pond Garden, Visualized in a 3D Design
Here you can see the 3D design and sketches for a 1100 m2 Japanese garden in Hoofddorp, the Netherlands. Our goal was to create a smooth transition between the modern, clean architecture of the building and the smooth, natural forms and shapes of the Japanese garden, with the mesmerizing pond at the center of it all. The garden features a 95 m2 Western Red Cedar deck, some very old Japanese pine trees, Japanese maples, azaleas, and a wide arrangement of stones and rocks. The garden also features a very special water rock. This decorative rock weighs about 3.5 tons and is part of the water circulation.

The Western Red Cedar deck is connected with the building by a glass 'border,' covering white gravel. The gravel around the deck and under the glass is highlighted by LED light strips. This effect causes the deck to 'float' on the gravel.

To give you an idea, we used 45 tons of gravel, 30 tons of additional soil, 120 m2 of Western Red Cedar planks (3cm thick and 30 cm wide), and 15 tons of decorative rocks and stones.
