GARDEN
4 -Seasons suburban Garden
DESCRIPTION
A suburban garden of two residences merges into a single green space and creates a vibrant meeting point. The perimeter planting enhances privacy and protects the residences from the weather conditions of the mountainous area. The lawn surface invites the children of the two families to play.
In addition, it expands the visual comfort sought by adults. The foliage of the plants dances in captivating shades and the variety of vegetation shapes impresses with its uniqueness. The softscape elements highlight the architecture of the buildings, harmoniously combining natural and artificial environments.

WHAT WAS REQUESTED
Two siblings and neighbors with a common goal: to create a unified garden between their residences. Their desire was for the garden to maintain its vegetation all year round. Especially in winter, they wanted to enjoy its beauty from inside their homes. Another point that concerned them was enhancing the privacy of their property.
THE GREEN SOLUTION
We designed a unified grass area so the two families could enjoy common moments of relaxation. We used linear plantings to mark and emphasize changes in levels. In addition, we enriched the diversity of the landscape with a geometric Mediterranean garden featuring rectangular gravel surfaces, inspired by the architectural design of the residences. We ensured the view from both houses even in winter, emphasizing the height of the plants we chose. We primarily placed coniferous plants that create color and geometric interest during the winter period. To increase the sense of security and enhance the spot against weather conditions, we placed the tallest and bulkiest plants around the perimeter of the garden. The four-season garden was ready to welcome the families.
