Brendan won a design competition to develop an
‘orchestra garden’, his design concept being based on the exploration of
strings and in particular, how sound is generated by a stringed instrument. The
design theme is inspired by sound waves and frequencies which are represented
in the garden by undulating lawns and radiating planted circles.
We will be supplying 200 metres of 4mm Jakob stainless steel wire rope and
tensioners for the garden. The ropes
represent vibrating strings and are tensioned between the back wall of the
garden and a stainless steel arch which represents a tuning fork.
For over a century, Jakob's ropes and rods
have been used in projects throughout the world, our comprehensive product
range being suitable for a wide variety of applications. Manufactured from High
Grade 316 stainless steel and with sizes ranging from 1mm right up to 26mm, the
wire ropes are available in various construction types, the precise
manufacturing process ensuring that all products are made to the nearest
millimetre.
As demonstrated by Brendan’s innovative design,
the range provides great scope to create design solutions for different
applications from conventional balustrades to the slightly more unusual
stringed garden.
