Golden Gate Cup - BEST OF SHOW

gold medal

 

STATEMENT:

Our inspiration for this installation was to capture the feel, construction methods and design of the ancient world, while infusing a modern layout. Through the use of natural materials such as aged copper, reclaimed timbers, stones and prehistoric plantings, you’ll be taken back into time. Large scale water wall and light features and modern layout will make you feel at home in the present. This is "Modern Ancient". Enjoy!
