Project Description
This landscape design is thoughtfully divided into three distinct zones:
-
A spacious lawn area at the front of the house, offering an open and inviting green space.
-
A cozy backyard adjacent to the kitchen, featuring a vegetable garden and a tranquil pond—ideal for relaxation and everyday use.
-
The remaining land is dedicated to an orchard, planted with apple and cherry trees, adding both beauty and seasonal abundance to the property.
Designing the access road presented a real challenge, but the final outcome integrates seamlessly with the overall spatial composition, and the existing villa. Washed concrete tiles were chosen as the paving material, as the road is shared by both vehicles and pedestrians, requiring durability as well as comfort underfoot. Road plan and profile are shown below:

ARCHITECTURAL ECHO,
THE REFLECTIVE POND
Reflective Pond, Architectural Echo
Architectural Echo
The reflecting pond extends the architectural language of the façade into the landscape. Through the repetition of the window rhythm and the reflection of the building’s geometry, water becomes a second architectural plane that connects the built environment and the landscape.
Key Elements
01 — Façade and Windows
The horizontal window composition establishes the architectural rhythm.
02 — Reflecting Pond
A calm, dark water surface mirrors the façade, extending its visual presence into the landscape.
03 — Continuity of Geometry
The alignment of the pond and the façade creates a dialogue between the horizontal water plane and the vertical architectural surface.
04 — Landscape and Architecture
The contrast between water, gravel, stone, vegetation and glazing reinforces the project’s restrained material palette while bringing architecture and nature into a unified composition.
Design Intent
The pond is conceived as more than a landscape feature. It acts as an architectural echo, reflecting the façade and extending its visual language into the ground plane. Through reflection, the boundary between architecture and landscape becomes less distinct, creating a continuous visual relationship between the two.
