Today we see a duad of gorgeous curved staircases that are planted with alpine and rock garden plants . Not only are the shapes of the stairs a softened version of the norm , but the flora damp these steps even more , making this a relaxed and inviting space . The stair almost seem to spill out into the lawn . If you calculate closely at the 2nd set , you ’ll see that the top stairs curve inward , while the bottom steps kink outward , creating a full circle if viewed from above . Quite a feat of stonemasonry !
