For an architectural ?exclamation point?, rather than a slow growing dwarf conifer, how about this VERY upright and columnar Elder... a great conversation piece, no one will guess what it is until it flowers! S/M
Crinkled green leaves packed tightly on stiff vertical stems with white flowers. A fun plant to puzzle your plant buddies. 12' tall X 4' wide.
