Project Overview
Layered water landscape
Cascade Pool Garden was designed to integrate water as the central feature within a structured landscape. The project focused on creating a calm, flowing environment where levels, materials, and planting work together to support movement and visual continuity. Through a combination of cascading water elements, refined paving, and layered planting, the garden now feels immersive and balanced. Each level transitions naturally, allowing the space to function as both a retreat and a visually dynamic environment.
