Notes from the Garden.

Every one of the 153 teak trees on this land stays; the basement was drawn around their roots.

Laid out on the southern edge by Masao Sone, a master gardener from Kyoto. Made for slow walks and long pauses.

Craft follows what we call the 3Ts, our test of how a material turns, transitions and terminates.
