Inside a Secret Garden House That Disappears Into Its Surrounding Nature (House Tour) film by The Local Project
The garden surrounding the secret garden house is like a peaceful oasis. It's filled with lush plants, colorful flowers, and tall trees that create a serene and private atmosphere. The landscape design seamlessly blends with the natural surroundings, making it feel like the house and garden are one.
One of the coolest things in the garden is the kinetic sound bath - It's an amazing art installation that combines nature and creativity. When the wind blows, the metal sculptures create soothing sounds, creating a calming and meditative vibe. It's a unique experience that lets you relax and connect with the rhythm of nature.
With its enchanting garden and captivating kinetic sound bath, the secret garden house is truly a hidden gem that blends effortlessly with its natural surroundings.
The kinetic sculpture featured in the house is called a Gamelatron. It is designed by Aaron Taylor Kuffner, who goes to Java to help forge the gongs from the fire. He then brings them back to his studio in Brooklyn, where he machines every single part of the sculpture. The Gamelatron creates a beautiful kinetic sound bath with Indonesian gongs. The music is composed on-site, and by pushing a button, you can experience the soothing and meditative sounds of the gongs. It sets the tone and adds to the overall ambiance of the house.
