The landscape design for the ground-level of the yards was already planned with a fern garden and a water pond. Due to the immobility of some residents and the fact that the yard is not accessible, the designers decided to bring the elements of the ground floor up to the people.
In steady motion and balanced choreography, twenty ferns slowly pass the windows of the communal rooms and fill the yards with contemplating movement. The elements arrange automatically in various patterns and formations allowing to see different arrangements throughout
