We worked from the beginning on two considerations: to create a project argument that would allow the site itself to provide the guidelines for intervention, revealing the forms of the new landscape from its morphological, topographical, and typological conditions.
These disordered lines resemble nature itself; its branches, its leaves, its streams, its cracks, seem to create a virtual mesh over the existing site, allowing it to geometrize the terrain and organize it at the same time. In this way, we achieved control over the forms and each of the different areas of the future landscape. The result is not an arbitrary garden; it is a space where everything is in its place, where everything has balance and a reason for being.
These irregular traces widen and narrow, cross and intertwine, adapting to the topography of our plot. Volumes of wood protrude from the ground, concrete walkways appear like rocks breaking through the stillness of the vegetation. They become paths for walking and places to rest. Other ribbons are formed by trees, creating vertical walls of vegetation, permeable lace of branches, grooves of bark that remind us of the forest, and white boulders of stone, eroded over time by water, that bring life to the project in its descent, as if it were a river. The concrete path leads us through a surprising walkway among the ribbons, moving at the same rhythm, surrounded by aromatic plants, trees, rocks, and sheets of water.
