T

his garden is an enchanting and idealized image of a wild seashore from our warm memories, hoping to come back again one day. Moreover, this poetic image is expressed in the form of public space. Each element of the environment is a metaphor of the natural image my native Primorsky Territory. And high technologies help to enhance the space with unnoticeable images with the help of sound and light, as well as they help to green up the garden and support its life in the difficult conditions of the modern city. Recycled glass concrete wall – sheer cliffs.

The plants in hydroponic containers are perennials and shrubs growing in Primorsky Territory. Deck chair from old boats – surf waves. Cereals and cosmos flowers swaying in the wind – ripples in the water and bright fish. Night illumination – luminous plankton. Glossy tiles in a pebble coating are like a wet trace left by the surf. The path between high grasses is a secret path to the beach. Perforation of the canopies imitates the skeleton of a sea urchin. Petals of solar panels feed the sockets in the deck chair, and rainwater is collected through the gutters in a canopy and used to water plants.
