Proposal

We were hired to design the grounds for the renovated Jackie Gleason theatre, the future home of a permanent Cirque du Soleil show. Our landscape is a lush display of floral sensuality, complementing the Cirque’s imagination-rich stage spectacle of erotic abandon. Taking full advantage of the warm South Florida climate, our pleasure gardens are replete with vivid colours, heady fragrances, and varied textures, choreographed to achieve a year-round extravaganza of fruits and flowers. Refreshing water follies punctuate this tropical paradise. A true Garden of Eden, complete with pleasures and temptations.

Surface
10,100 m2 (2.5 acres)
