The physical, visual and philosophical connections to its escarpment site at the 'Glass House Mountain House' has been further strengthened with the placement of a triad of local Glass House Quarry stones, carefully selected and placed with the client.
"Rocks are placed in the garden for enticement and reinvigoration of the viewer. The placement of rocks are the bone structure of a garden. Traditionally, the Japanese held rocks as very sacred objects. They were the home of spirits or kami in Japanese. Rocks when placed in a group needed to be placed in such a way that the energy was balanced, and they seemed to somehow interact with each other, or relate to each other. Triads are common ways to group rocks together symbolizing the triangle or the three forces equivalent to a triad of Heaven, Earth and Man."
The new 'Bones' are one component of the Northern 'Zen Garden' courtyard which the spaces of the house are gathered around.
