Navium Marine: Blue Mind Garden

The garden draws inspiration from the concept of ‘Blue Mind’, highlighting the calming and mentally restorative benefits of being near, in, on, or beneath water. This design delves into our deep-seated attraction to water and the characteristics that draw us to its presence. It explores how water can enhance our well-being and demonstrates ways to replicate the fluidity and tranquility of water into a compact urban space, allowing us to experience the benefits of ‘Blue Mind’ even in a small setting.

THE PROCESS of OUR WORK

The balcony garden invites visitors to reflect on their personal connections to the sea while emphasising the importance of protecting this vital habitat. Key design elements celebrate the essence of water, including ripple-effect cladding that mirrors light in wave-like patterns and a water feature that highlights the importance of sound.
