The Story

"The ground breaking concept, appropriately dubbed 'The Drop,' materialized through precision earth movement with heavy machinery, molding around 15,000 m3 of earth into a breathtaking visual masterpiece. This remarkable creation mirrors the enchanting ripple circles that emerge when a drop delicately caresses the water's surface. The intricate shapes were meticulously transposed onto the landscape, subsequently veiled with a vibrant carpet of grass. Even after nearly 15 years, its enduring presence is visible on Google Maps, a testament to its lasting significance."

The vision

Having immersed myself in the golf course development industry and consulted extensively with partners and clients, I recognized the vast, often overlooked areas designated for game security. Deciding to harness these spaces creatively, I introduced Land Art works, elevating the project's value and providing a unique experience.

While prioritizing security, the addition of Land Art transformed the projects, offering a new and enriching dimension. Despite the platform's limitations, we successfully streamlined our design aesthetic and crafted accessible templates, resulting in a highly satisfying outcome. The positive feedback received from both customers and clients affirmed the success of this innovative approach."
