Connecting house and garden
For a garden in Restelo, we begin with routes between the entrance, the house and outdoor seating. An existing lawn, group of trees or terrace may guide the design rather than automatically being replaced. Views from indoors and everyday use inform a connected sequence of spaces.
Exposure, shelter and planting
Orientation and wind exposure need checking on each plot. Trees and shrubs can organise the garden and provide shelter, but their mature size must suit walls, buildings and utilities. Available water and the care you can provide guide plant selection and irrigation planning.
Terraces and gathering spaces
Pergola shade, table size and routes to the kitchen influence outdoor comfort. Lighting should support movement and atmosphere while respecting property boundaries. Before specifying paving or structures, we assess bases, drainage, utility connections and any applicable permissions.
