| DESIGN NAME: Shades of Green PRIMARY FUNCTION: Private Garden INSPIRATION: The main idea was to make a garden that harmonizes and is one with the residential building. The house is in a Mediterranean style, plastered in a light emerald color, decorative elements are made of dark green mosaic, verandas are made of green granite, retaining walls and plinth of the house are made of green quartzite. On the facade of the house you can see panels depicting landscapes of Italy, beloved customer's place. Green is a favorite color of client, which is why I decided to create a garden using shades of only one color, playing with the shape and textures of plants and materials. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The architecture of the garden itself is essentially in the style of constructivism - with square and rectangular zones, straight wide paths and a clear rectilinear pattern on them. But also the garden turned out to be cozy and calm, because the volume and splendor of about 100 different species of plants give it, softening the pressure of straight lines. Also in the garden there is a lounge area, a study, a sitting area by the fire, small romantic garden and a quiet corner in the shade of a tree. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The garden is an integral part of the living space. Therefore, it is so important that it is ideal for the owners to relax, so that it brings pleasure from contemplation and peace at any time of the year. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in February 2019 in Moscow region, in June 2019 the production process begins and it last for 6 months, completion is planned in summer 2020. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The paving is made of light and dark stoneware. The porches are made of green granite. Fences and arbors are made of larch. The garden uses about 100 different plants, which differ in texture and color. The garden is beautiful at any time of the year, due to early-blooming spring flowers and trees, colorful in autumn, conifers, and shrubs with decorative bark. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 1600 m2 area in Moscow region. TAGS: private garden, Moscow, modern, landscape RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The key object in the garden is a unique fountain-a sculpture cast in bronze of the Earth goddess Gaia. She is represented as a beautiful Dryad, a wood nymph whose hair looks like twigs with leaves from which water flows. Gaia is a talisman in the garden, which seems to breathe life into it and creates peace and tranquility thanks to the drops that flow from the leaves into a bowl of water. CHALLENGE: Since the project is intended for the Moscow region, we are very dependent on weather conditions and we are not always happy with the heat. Therefore, the implementation was delayed. The leveling of the site zones, the construction of retaining walls, the filling of paths with concrete and their facing with granite stretched for several months due to heavy rains. We started planting in mid-September 2019 and finished in early November. In winter, it is cold and snowing in Moscow, and landscape work is not carried out. In the summer of 2020, we will install a gazebo, pergolas and outdoor furniture with a fire bowl.
