Atlanta Botanical Garden
Our work at the Atlanta Botanical Garden required a sensitive hand to knit together new design work into an existing, mature garden framework.
Site Plan
This partial site plan shows our work at the Cox Courtyard, Levy Parterre Garden, Rose Garden, and Fragrance Garden.
Levy Parterre
A traditional garden form lies at the heart of the Atlanta Botanical Garden.
Postmodern Design
The garden links the postmodern designs by Anthony Ames to an education building by John Winer.
Classically Inspired Fountain
A hand drawn construction document guided the fabrication of the limestone fountain at the center of the garden.
Chihuly Sculpture
The custom limestone fountain quickly became a home for an extravagant glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly.
Crepe Myrtle Allée
The garden forecourt was designed to respect the initial allée and Great Lawn conceived by Edward Daugherty FASLA.
MacMonnies Sculpture
A casting of MacMonnies’ “Pan” from a Buckhead Estate forms the heart of this garden tucked behind the Fuqua Conservatory.
Fragrance Garden Pool
Granite from a 1959 garden was salvaged for reuse replicating the lay of the stone, jointing, and recessed “kick plate” design.
Antique Roses
A modern interpretation of a rose garden, featuring tough antique varieties, replaced a garden of high maintenance hybrid Tea Roses.
Graceful Curves
A curving wall festooned with lush foliage leads the eye to the Levy Parterre Garden.
Fountain Sketch
Following a meditative experience, Spencer made this sketch that guided the creation of the fountain at the center of the Cox Courtyard.
Bronze Fountain
Water cascades over the rim of the large bronze basin; supports, inspired by tree trunks, ground this piece on its large granite plinth.
Cox Courtyard
Architect Anthony Ames was inspired by the Villa Giulia for his design of the Garden House. We redesigned the Cox Courtyard to better reference these Roman roots including cobblestone, palms, and the central bronze fountain. A sculpture by Dale Chihuly was added after a groundbreaking show of his work in the Garden.
