Zen Garden Parking Space

Concept design

Framed 1:20 scale model of a parking bay filled with grey gravel, pale sand and stones, with a printed label

Zen Garden Parking Space is a concept design for an installation in a single parking bay. The proposal was developed as a physical maquette: a long timber tray filled with raked grey gravel, a band of pale sand, three set stones and a low timber edge. The scale shift is the idea, with a raked dry garden held inside the footprint of a car.
