Purpose.
To create a vibrant and functional environment with a premium feel and a cohesive ecosystem that contrasts with formal architecture and high-density development, bringing people and spaces together.
A Path of Slowing Down Amid the City's Rhythm.
We designed a vibrant and sustainable system in the heart of the city—a green oasis set against a backdrop of formal architecture. We connected the space by a single natural line—an artery that contrasts with the regular fire lanes. Its curves, rhythm, shifts in scale, and enveloping quality evoke natural forms.

Key Techniques and Features.
Each area of the site features focal points that are logically and stylistically interconnected. Thus, all the canopies, pergolas, and trellises are unified by their design and color scheme.
To create the look of a natural garden, we use landscape planting techniques: multi-stemmed groups of trees and shrubs, loosely arranged clumps, and large patches of perennials. Using shrubs with different flowering periods creates a sense of spatial variation. Conifers and grasses make the courtyard garden visually appealing all year round.
The project features durable materials that are both visually and tactilely appealing—natural stone and wood. The colors of the metal structures tie the landscaping into the complex’s architecture.
Trees Planted Along the Parking Lot'S Column Lines
In our design, we took into account the architectural layout and are planting large trees in key areas of the neighborhood.
Hiding Technical Elements
Fire access routes, ventilation shafts, and access hatches are incorporated into the landscaping plan and are not identified as functional requirements.
Landscape Plantings
Multi-level landscaping featuring conifers and perennial grasses provides year-round visual appeal and maintains the courtyard’s greenery throughout all seasons.
Consideration of Wind and Solar Loads
The arrangements of flower beds and tree and shrub groups have been selected based on their sun exposure. The small architectural forms are positioned in such a way as to reduce wind loads on the site.
We have created a unique space where nature sets the pace of life. The project reinforced the complex’s premium positioning and highlighted the developer’s standing, earning recognition from the professional community (the ALAROS Awards and the International Architecture & Design Awards).
