Description
A double stairway consisting of a series of steps and small landings with white-arched, blue-painted grottoes under each landing. White-stemmed birches are part of the composition, frame the steps and give the composition a veritcal element. Delicate, curved white railings in front of curved yew hedges create visual resonance with the white of the birches, and act as a coordinating transition between the steps and the birches
