Dromenon Labyrinth, Private Residence

Located
on the Pritzker Estate, this newly completed labyrinth is nestled in
a forest full of wildlife, which is often seen walking the paths.
The Pritzker family built the labyrinth for their own personal use,
although it also receives frequent visits by guests from around the
world, including the Dalai Lama.
Featured in the foreground are the Lannon stones that form the path boundaries
of this stately labyrinth. A stylized version of the Chartres pattern
called a Dromenon, the labyrinth is 80 feet in diameter, and the topsoil
path is 2.5 feet wide, extending a total of 1,850 feet in length leading
to a domed 12-inch crown in the center.
In addition, an elaborate underground
piping system ensures proper drainage. When fully landscaped, the paths
will be lined with lush green grass, and the
planters will be full of colorful flowers and herbs.
The unique design and superb craftsmanship demonstrate why Labyrinths
in Stone are unrivaled in labyrinth design and installation. We would
be delighted to visit your home to design a labyrinth that is perfectly
suited to the environment and your personal needs.
