How can home garden design be inspired by award-winning and large-scale public projects? 

Whatever the size of your home garden, there are key tips you can take away from these amazing examples of landscape and building design – The High Line in New York, and The Spheres in Seattle. 

SHOW NOTES FOR THIS EPISODE: 

Now before I get stuck into today’s podcast, I wanted to quickly mention that, if you’re listening to this on the day of release – the 7th of August – then this is the last day you can join “How to Get it Right in Your Reno or New Home”.  

This is my 6 week online course that gets you ready for your renovation or building project.  

It’s the last live round I’m running for 2018 … so don’t miss the chance to get guidance for your project, get your questions answered, and kick off your project in the best possible way.  

Even if you’re still working with a designer, now is the time to be sure you’re getting your design right.  

So, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/getitirightnow to join now, and not miss out.  

In this episode, I’m heading back to the USA, and sharing 2 incredible projects where gardens and landscape were designed in an innovative way.  

I think they’ll help you with ideas for your home, whether you’re renovating or building, and whatever the size of your project.  

These projects are The High Line in New York, and The Spheres (or Amazon Spheres) in Seattle. 

The High Line is an urban park, sitting 30 feet, or 10 metres in the air. It’s a repurposed rail-line, and it has a fascinating history. It’s 1.45 miles or 2.33km long, and has been opening since 2009, as new sections are completed. 

In the podcast, I share 2 key ideas from the High Line that can inspire your home garden design. These are: 

#1 Remembering history (of your home, or the area it is situated in) and how that memory can enrich the quality of your home design 

#2 Looking at the small things, and how they can create intimacy and a sense of relaxation in your home garden design (and the home itself). 

You can see photographs and more information about the High Line in this blog I wrote here >>> www.undercoverarchitect.com/the-high-line-new-york 

The Spheres are glass domed structures built by Amazon to provide a place for its employees where they can be directly connected to nature, within an urban location (the CBD of Seattle). They were built between 2013 and 2018, and house over 40,000 plants, as well as cafes, meeting rooms, and break-out spaces for employees to meet, sit, work and enjoy. 

There are lots of ideas here to inspire your home garden design, and I talk about those, as well as 2 in particular: 

#1 The impact of volume 

#2 The impact of natural light.

There’s loads more in this episode of the podcast to help you with your home garden design – no matter its size. So, let’s dive in …
