Muscular, bold and contemporary, the crisp geometric lines of the sculptural hedges are shaped by metal cages and maintained by careful pruning. The hedges provide a counterpoint to the flowing lines of the perennials and grasses in the Entry Garden Walk. At night, these living sculptures are illuminated with subtle, energy-efficient LED lighting.

• Muscular, bold and contemporary, the crisp geometric lines of the sculptural European beech
  (Fagus sylvatica) and Cornelian cherry dogwood
  (Cornus mas) hedges are shaped by metal cages
  and maintained by careful pruning. The hedges
  complement the bold angular roofline of the
  building and provide a counterpoint to the flowing lines of the perennials and grasses in the Entry Garden Walk. At night, these living sculptures are illuminated with subtle, energy-efficient LED lighting.
• The courtyard is shaded by a grouping of maples
  with interesting bark such as stripebark or snakebark maple (Acer davidii) and paperbark maple (Acer griseum).
  
• To conserve water, storm water runoff is collected and filtered through a strip in the pavement, recycled into the soil and down to the water table through an extensive subdrain system.
