Cedar Monastery BEnchES

Chuang Yen Monastery, Carmel, NY

Outdoor benches in all-weather Port Orford Cedar for the rock garden operated by the Buddhist Association of the United States.

The surface of the bench has a slight arc/crown in it to encourage rainwater runoff and a subtle softness to the form.

Dimensions: 72" long x 17-3/4" wide x 18" high.

Collaboration with native plant landscape designer, Landscape Restorations.
