When it's such a neat looking enclosed space such as this I'm always interested to know where the water goes.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the details.<br /><br />It looks like a lovely meditation spot.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275911317425194682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879533546985256779.post-81286297594084224942010-07-06T21:59:36.014-07:002010-07-06T21:59:36.014-07:00Christine,

I guess I just need some more exposure to this intriguing cuisine. <br /><br />The garden space is primary a viewing garden. The interior view culminate on this view.<br />But there is also a small table and chairs ( not in this photo ) that invites people out into the tiny balcony to sit .<br />In the far corner to the right is a trio of stone Balinese pots with a Rhaphis palm, some succulents and some tropicalesque foliage plants.<br /><br />Always nice to hear from you. .... and I'm impressed that a non native Korean loves kim chee !Deviant Deziner, aka Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10469269749640113223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879533546985256779.post-37493218282341954692010-07-06T21:27:35.423-07:002010-07-06T21:27:35.423-07:00Oh, Michelle- I have to take issue with your opini...Oh, Michelle- I have to take issue with your opinion of Kim Chee! So yummy! As for the garden, it certainly does have a "wow factor", the spartan design allows the eye to focus right on the Buddha. Are there any details along the wall of the house or is it more of a garden meant to be viewed from inside?Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938196559124125578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879533546985256779.post-5657650281831833502010-07-06T17:21:47.035-07:002010-07-06T17:21:47.035-07:00Hi Patrick,

Garden show.<br />The client wanted almost the exact set up but due to a variety of factors from her HOA and the engineering dept. of the hi rise building ( along with her budget) this is the design that we came up with and implemented. <br /><br />One of the nicest things I can say about the garden show is that it introduced me to this particular client who I have a very nice friendship with.<br />She is one of the nicest persons' that I have ever met and it has been great fun learning some new cultural experiences.<br />I'm still not a fan of Kim Che, but have learned to love some other wonderful Korean foods.Deviant Deziner, aka Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10469269749640113223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879533546985256779.post-41364645590245890482010-07-06T17:01:37.081-07:002010-07-06T17:01:37.081-07:00Did you get this commission as the result of your ...Did you get this commission as the result of your win at the Flower show that year?

That drain tube feeds into a drain inlet that was present at the back side of the patio. <br /><br />thanks for your thoughts.Deviant Deziner, aka Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10469269749640113223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879533546985256779.post-43870088779205396942010-07-06T09:00:35.395-07:002010-07-06T09:00:35.395-07:00Really serene, I love it.
