Besuto Restaurant Zen Garden – Sydney CBD

Seamlessly blending authentic Zen aesthetics with innovative sub-irrigation and environmental control.

The Challenge

Required 35cm elevation to create planting depth and garden prominence.
Weight constraints ruled out filling with heavy aggregates.
No access to irrigation or drainage infrastructure.
Limited airflow and natural light.
Dry indoor conditions necessitated humidity control.

The Solution

Raised Garden Construction
- Installed a matte black metal trim, creating a sleek perimeter and raising the garden bed.
- Built a false floor, reducing material weight and achieving the necessary elevation.
Hidden Passive Sub-Irrigation System
- Used a fibreglass pond liner as a watertight reservoir.
- Installed a mulch plate with cut holes for plants, each equipped with wicking systems.
- The plants passively drew water from the reservoir, ensuring consistent hydration without visible irrigation.
Environmental Enhancements
- Installed grow lights for photosynthesis.
- Added an old-style Japanese fan for air circulation.
- Introduced a bamboo water feature to increase humidity.
