Playful Zen
The garden integrates a functional football field with a modern Japanese-inspired garden. The artificial turf is bordered by lush planting, including bamboo for privacy and a sense of enclosure. A seating area near the football field, shaded by tall pine trees, offers a relaxing space for gatherings. The simple plant selection creates a serene and welcoming atmosphere.

A key feature on the landscape is the tsukubai, a traditional Japanese water basin, adding character and a calming touch to the landscape. Additionally, a feature wall and a secluded pocket garden with accent plants and boulders provide a retreat for reflection. The design emphasizes air circulation and frames natural views through the home’s windows for a cohesive, open environment.
