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.
