Originating hundreds of years ago in Japan, Rain Chains act as linked funnels and are a decorative alternative to a cheerless gutter downspout. Rainwater playfully dances and flows down these handcrafted aluminum channels as it is guided from the rooftop to the ground. You will pray for rain once you attach your Rain Chain.

The clients were inspired to renovate following exposure to Zen architecture while honeymooning in Japan. The architectural brief was to deliver a modern Australian home that serves as a private, meditative retreat that would also cater to a buzzing family as their relationship evolves; and transform into a welcoming and generous entertaining space. The home would need to maximise the potential of the sites orientation and create a strong connection to generous and versatile outdoor spaces including sheltered entertaining areas and spacious areas for planting and lawn. It was essential that elements of the existing residence be retained where possible to reduce waste, however disguised so that the final product was effectively a new home.

My client lived in Japan for several years and wanted an authentic Japanese garden where he could rake the gravel. He rakes and changes the gravel pattern every Sunday. Drought tolerant, evergreen plants suited for New Mexico were chosen to mimic classic Japanese gardens. Plant palette color is blue-green, burgundy and lime green.
