Vegetal Architectures

An Irish customer, who loved the boundless spaces of the country of origin, is looking for a place to find air and light. In the first inspection they found two former terraced houses, overloaded with materials, dark colors and a garden, within which infinite varieties of different plants coexisted one above the other.

The first approach was to remove, eliminate, bringing out what was hidden; subsequently they opened visual windows and used only light colors. The architecture has thus returned a lighter, cleaner and simpler image; a new Spa with swimming pool, a box and everything that could be used for a new contemporary residence have been inserted inside.

In the garden almost all the plants were removed, bringing to light a splendid hedge of Cupressus arizonica, which had been completely buried by other essences and which was simply pruned in topiary art, raising the crown.

Only a few white plaster partitions were built to replace the shapeless terraces and a single material was chosen to solve all the external surfaces (floors, stairs and walls). To conclude, the Gastone sofa, from the Landscape Forniture line, made of artificial hedge, fits into the garden in dialogue with the context.
