Ridgeline Terrace Study

Millbrook, NY · Proposed

Concept study. This is a visual exploration of a possible project, not a built or completed installation.

A hillside terrace concept unified by corten planters, a linear rill, and a blackened steel fire table.

Set along an exposed ridge, this study proposes a single steel datum line through the site — planters, rill and fire table all sharing one elevation, so the eye reads the whole garden as one composition.

The concept calls for planters fabricated from 1/4in weathering steel, seam-welded and ground before being weathered under controlled conditions to a consistent patina.

Materials

  • Weathering steel
  • Honed limestone
  • Blackened mild steel
