According to Japanese philosophy, a garden japanese is a kind of shelter in which all the elements coexist in harmony and balance; the vegetation must not be abundant and the space must be well defined by stones, so that the rest of the objects that surround it do not interfere with its essence. In addition to its decorative value, this type of garden offers a modern and differentiating character to a home, office or study, and a feeling of freshness, relaxation and comfort that encourages reflection.
For some time now, the Japanese garden has gone from being the most demanded for exteriors, to being part of the interior decoration, in two clearly differentiated aspects: As nerve center in which the main rooms converge (visible in this inner courtyard) or as a backbone that communicates the spaces as a continuous route, appreciable in this project carried out in a house in Nagoya, Japan:
The Japanese architects Suppose Design Office have carried out this residency, dedicated to plants and in the light, harboring your client's desire to have a vibrant and beautiful garden that would change the appearance of the entire house. The «garden room» borders the side of the office, leads to the bathroom and continues to the stairwell, alternating environments with and without glass. Objects associated with the interiors, such as paintings and furniture, appear scattered throughout the exterior, while rocks and flowers populate all the rooms.
In the workplace you can also have a Japanese garden that does not interfere with day-to-day life by posing it as a central terrarium surrounded by glass walls (although we must not forget that it requires certain care throughout the year). The Enmanuelle Moureaux Architecture + Design team has tried to go further in this bench in Tokyo, mixing reality and fiction, adorning the garden with a vinyl in the shape of a tree and colored leaves, a wink that is repeated throughout the office on screens , columns and furniture fronts.
For those looking for a more realistic alternative, I point out this proposal for a Japanese home garden that they propose in Infojardín: Some of the characteristic elements such as stones and small bushes are included, and other elements such as bonsai and bamboo are replaced by ferns or water plants by other hanging ones. The curious touch is provided by recycled and asymmetrically placed urban tiles, reminiscent of the typical "paths" that are usually part of this type of garden.
