- No radical change to the existing layout
Entrance and front seating
The entrance was upgraded with strip lighting at ground level, and its formality emphasised by lining the path with cycas palms, while keeping movement continuous for the other elements of the design. Several seating spots were provided at the front, one for waiting and another for contemplation facing the olive tree.
Side path
The side path is defined by aromatic plants and planters graduated in size to break the monotony of a continuous pattern, in line with the client’s wish not to change the existing layout radically, with lighting and wall planters used to add beauty.
Family seating and pool
The family seating in the back garden sits beside the barbecue area, oriented to the sun’s movement to get the most shade during the day and the widest possible view of the corners and elements of the garden, and defined by aromatic plants. The existing pool is surrounded by murals interwoven with planting that form a visual backdrop for the area and make use of lighting.
