Level Up — a reconstruction of the existing site preserving its ancient trees, distinctive terrain, and proximity to the reservoir.
The hilly landscape defined the arrangement of pedestrian pathways while becoming an intrinsic design element of the garden itself. We seamlessly integrated functional zones into the site's topography through clean, minimalist design lines.
Among the trees, we installed a cantilevered, heated playhouse overlooking the slopes. Spacious swings were discreetly placed within the wooded area. The original gazebo was reimagined using contemporary materials: a steel frame structure with frameless glass walls. Designed according to the IN→EX principle, its retractable walls allow the pavilion to seamlessly merge with the outdoor surroundings. The roof features a living carpet of greenery that cascades down the transparent walls.
An automated vegetable garden was strategically placed along the ramps. We introduced majestic juniper shrubs that complement the existing vegetation while adding harmonious volume. Granite-paved walkways are accentuated with boulders arranged in Scandinavian style.
Particularly noteworthy is the multifunctional bench surrounding the firepit: it serves simultaneously as a retaining wall for the embankment and as concealed storage for all the essentials needed to create cozy evening gatherings.
