02 / Representative design study
Water held beautifully
Landform and planting turn runoff into a composed ecological feature.
The vision
Treat seasonal water as a design material rather than a problem to hide.
The design
A considered
design response.
A shallow planted depression, permeable edges, layered grasses, and moisture-tolerant perennials slow runoff while preserving a calm residential composition.
The transformation
From possibility
to experience.
A low, wet area becomes a garden with habitat value, seasonal movement, and a legible relationship to the site’s natural drainage.
