Overlook Terrace
Stone Rampart Wall, Overlook Structure, and Site Design
750 sq ft

Client:Kubota Garden Foundation
Stone Masons:Awata Family
Guard Railing Design:Gerard Tsutakawa

The stone base uses a gravity wall system, constructed by Japanese master stonemasons during the Rock, People, Chisel Workshop, using a traditional method of splitting large granite stones. The weight of the stone work is balanced with gentle curves of weathering steel, creating a guard railing.

A wooden shelter brings lightness to contrast with the heaviness of the stone base while offering shade as well as a backdrop for special ceremonies, weddings, and events.
