The amazing braided layout 

I really liked this paving that George created. It combines the geometric paving lines as well as the braided designed paving. I think the straight paths create great function, preserving the grass and creating convenience to the people who use it. I like all the different routes, as each time you walk through the different paths you create a different atmosphere with different views and feelings. 

Its a great way to integrate nature into the places we most use.

At the bottom of the image you see the raised mound of grass, this is great for creating views across the site and for seating. 

Night time scape of the paths 

This image shows the viewpoint within he landscape along the path. I love the effect of the column lights here, it leads you along  as you're unable to see to the end, so creates more of a journey.  

Cascading water feature, from the grass mound

This grass mound makes such a cool feature within this park, its a creative way to completely change the perspective of the park and creates a hierarchy of seating, creating an interesting atmosphere. 

The water feature is very interesting, not just for the form by the way you would be able to hear it walking up the path, but not fully see it. This would be enjoyed sitting on the grass floor as well. 

Under canopy created by the tree planting 

I really love this design, and the organic feel to it. With most of the view point coming from 4+ building level windows, it creates such an interesting landscape to look at.
