This space for me is about bringing the elements of nature, most commonly known as forest life, vegetation and green space and combining it with a man made structure. For the most part, a garden and it's elements such as the trees and plants are often seen to exist by themselves, using the ground as a bed, rain as food, and the sky as a roof. By bringing the garden inside, it allows for users to experience a range of plant life and species either not known to the area or not able to grow in a normal outdoor climate. The modern man made technologies of irrigation systems, heating/artificial lighting and monitoring systems will ensure the 'nature' grows well within the man made space. While for the most part I explore only one 'boat shed' the winter garden comprises of a range of rooms and spaces which include temperate spaces, for plants at 24degrees, and a tropical space, for plants at 28c. All of these spaces are linked with a single path, with seating along the way so that users can stop and enjoy.
