Persian Charbagh in New York
A tradition built on boundary, water, and fourfold balance.
The Walled Garden at Untermyer, designed by William Welles Bosworth, draws directly from the great Indo-Persian gardens of antiquity. Crenellated walls anchored by octagonal towers enclose the space; four canals cross at its center, dividing the garden into equal quadrants in the tradition of the Char Bagh — the same paradise geometry echoed in both Eden's four rivers and the four rivers of Jannah. A colonnade borders the space, framing the procession between water and wall.
GeoMera's goal is to carry this wisdom — the timeless beauty and harmony of ancient architecture — into contemporary living. Across civilizations, these traditions share a quiet understanding of proportion, geometry, and the bond between land and structure, refined over centuries into something that endures. We draw on that inheritance, weaving it into spaces defined by feeling, depth, and harmony.
