Nitobe Garden

The water features are central to the site and situated between the green landscapes. These conditions of the large tree canopies and pools of water creates a very cool and crisp environment on humid days for humans and animals.

In contrast, the body of water is separated from the green landscape by the beach. The majority of trees on this site are situated along the road and at a higher elevation, casting constant shadows throughout the day onto the road below. While the beach itself gets quite hot, there is a constant breeze as I near the water.
