In this garden, we aimed to establish a seamless connection between the existing garden and the adjacent hilly, new wooded landscape. The valley is a refuge for birds and a walkway in between residential plots.

 

The main idea is to have different places in a steep topography zone. Fruit trees on the borderline, pond with some Nymphéas, wildlife in the city. Significant earthworks reshape the terrain to create a gentle promenade through the woodland. These landscaped routes engage in dialogue with the existing garden, offering a succession of contemplative scenes that evolve with the seasons.

At the bottom of the valley, a retention pond collect rainwater during periods of heavy rainfall, creating a microcosmos in the garden.
