\n\u2018Silence\u2019 is a dramatic, sculptural garden, selected for inclusion in the 2016 Singapore Garden Festival. Inspired by the natural world, the designers have abstracted individual elements, surfaces and materials to conjure up a surreal sense of detachment – a spiritual and atmospheric place created by juxtaposing simple combinations of hard and soft materials.

\nThe central space is wrapped and formed by a monumental spiral of distressed concrete render \u2013 a protective curvature that creates a tranquil inner sanctum, infused with an inviting play of light and shadow. Morse Code messages punched into the fabric of the wall afford views of the intriguing space within. The entrance is obscured, creating a sense of drama as the visitor discovers the calm inner space.<\/p>\n
