Complete landscape project
Residential garden
Gardens in private houses play a crucial role in the quality of life and well-being of those who live there. Beyond their aesthetic character, they provide a green space that fosters a connection with nature, contributing to a more relaxing and balanced environment. Because the setting is exceptional, with open views, the landscape integration of this space rests on the following aims: bioclimatic comfort, helping to regulate the temperature not only of the outdoor space but of the house as well; a choice of species suited to the site (soil and climate) and low in maintenance; multifunctional areas for leisure and recreation; trees with a light crown so as not to interrupt the views of the surrounding landscape; and a kitchen garden, to encourage growing plants and give direct access to fresh food.
The project
In essence, we designed an edge-and-clearing structure — that is, areas of lawn for all kinds of activities, bounded by a low shrub layer punctuated by taller elements: the trees. The aim was also to break the continuity of the paving with a continuous planting bed, filled with a ground-cover perennial and accent trees that bring shade and seasonal change. In some areas visual barriers were needed, but the intention was to create them with small trees so as not to block views.
