design: Carrie Preston (Studio TOOP), Carolien Barkman, Carien van Boxtel and Linda Hogeweg location: Elst, NL status: installation for the summer of 2014 photos: Jolanthe Lalkens For a temporary installation Carrie Preston of Studio TOOP collaborated with three other designers on the design of a folly. In the festival of follies, organized by the NVTL (Dutch Society of Landscape Architecture) each participant was allowed to work with the same standard materials and add one extra material to their individual design. Our chosen material was the dried seed heads of Alliums (ornamental onion flowers). We wanted to make a statement about ephemerality. The different size seed heads were used to make "lace" curtains. The Dutch title of the folly "BinnenKant" is a play on words and means both "inside" and "within lace". The folly plays with transparency and the experience of being within a space and connected to a larger landscape.

In this project the home owner was a furniture importer, so she had an amazing array of decorative elements to add to the design. After spending years traveling through Indonesia and India on buying trips, she wanted a taste of the tropics in her own back yard. We worked together to incorporate her beautiful objects into an undeniably tropical-feeling space. By carefully selecting plants and their placement, we were able to achieve the lush green feel of Bali or Hawaii in the Southern California climate without using a lot of water. After installation, this oasis is alive with birds and dragonflies. Lush green plantings create microclimates around the house that help cool the property on hot days. Integrating edible trees provides the homeowner with pomegranates, several types of guavas, lemons, limes, and bananas. Today, the homeowner rents out her home and garden for photo shoots and weddings.
