Tea House Design

This is an Asian Garden Design done for a Chinese Tea House in Bar Harbor, Maine. Each area is designed to represent the transitions of life. The sand garden features a dry waterfall and stream. As you walk through this area you are meant to reflect on the past, and think of where you want to go in life. As you round the corner to the front of the building, you begin moving forward in life. The first waterfall represents the flow of life, moving you forward down and over the stream, where it flows into the last pond. The two waterfalls create a circular current in this pond representing the circle of life.
