A stately, Classically-designed and proportioned niche, depicted here with rusticated arch, nature-imitating grotto stone finish and vermiculated detailing, makes a magnificent focal point to any garden but works especially well for formal, Italianate gardens.
​
There are endless possibilities to adapt this design according to your intended function. Adding simple stone bench to create a restful sanctuary or a playful fountain to showcase your creative imagination.

The given proportions exploit the design's pendentive curve to produce a marked amplification of sound within the niche. This elusive and historic stonemasonry design trick makes a fascinating talking point but can also enhance the peaceful sound of a running water feature within the niche.
